    Let me add another indirect income source which is the power I produce from my paid off 15 yo roof solar system. the power I receive from the sun is not taxed, does not have any fees and the power company in NC ( at least for now ) pays me retail price for any excess we produce ( again I don't need to claim that as income either ) Think about this if you are about 55 yo and want some tax free indirect income when you retire. 😎😎😎😎😎

    At the end of the discussion on gifts which starts at about the 11:12 mark, a comment is made at 11:32 saying that when someone receives more than $18,000 (as a gift in 2024), that amount in excess of $18,000 becomes taxable. I don't think this is generally correct, at least regarding federal income tax for the gift recipient. IRS Pub 525 says on p34 under Gifts and Inheritances: "In most cases, property you receive as a gift, bequest, or inheritance isn't included in your income." Am I missing something?

    • @heidikamrath1951
      @heidikamrath1951 5 місяців тому +7

      I think you are correct. That above the 18K max needs to be acknowledged with a tax form filed by the giver as that amount will ultimately count toward the 13Million or whatever it is that they can bequeath tax-free.
      That’s my understanding, anyways. Happy to be corrected if someone out there knows for sure…

    • @hm51008
      @hm51008 5 місяців тому +5

      My understanding is anything in excess of 18,000 (2024) would count towards the $13.61M estate tax limit for the giver.
      It would not be taxable income to the receiver.

    Great video as always. I was surprised you said the amount of gift over $18k was taxable to the recipient. My understanding was that you could give up to the estate tax exemption as long as the proper tax form was filled out and there would be no tax. I read elsewhere that was one planning item to gift now while the higher exemption is in place as the IRS had indicated there would not be a “clawback” once the limit is reduced in 2026. Can you clarify?

    Interesting figure that was used for High Deductible Medical Insurance and HSAs. My company stopped providing the "standard" medical policy to new employees about 5 years ago and I had the opportunity to be grandfathered into that plan. The "standard" plan has a $5,250 per person/$10,500 per family maximum out of pocket (MOOP) before 100% kicks in, the high deductible plans are at least twice that. I think HSAs would be great if you have to get a high deductible plan I just don't know how a person could fund it if they have a medically bad year. I've hit my MOOP twice in about 5 years, I feel lucky it was only $5,250 vs $10,000. Medicare is going to seem like a bargain! 😀

    Rental income is often tax-free because of depreciation, especially if there is a mortgage on the property.

      What Gabriel says is true. I sold a property and got a whopping 22k tax bill. I even asked my accountant to redo the calculations because I didn't believe it. Yep, it was true.
      It's like all the depreciation you take has to be paid back once you sell.

    If you are working and your employer matches any percent of your contribution to a Roth 401 k, you do not pay taxes on the portion that YOU put in, but you will be liable for the taxes applied to the matched funds your employer contributes. So there will still be taxes to pay if so.

    Re: tax free capital gains, does this mean if your net income BEFORE capital gains is $94k you pay no cap gains on any investment income...or does the $94k net income figure also include your cap gain total? In other words, is $50k other net income PLUS $200k cap gains income free of ANY cap gains tax, (because net non-gap gains income is under $94k) or is all the cap gains that bring your total overall income over $94 subject to cap gains?

    I hate when people don't mention FSA's for those people who do not want an HSA (because they may like their insurance). Whether YOU like or not, FSA's are a great tax-savings vehicle. 'But...but ..it's a use-it-or-lose it product!" AND? so then USE IT! There are TONS of things it can be used for, so if people are "losing it" it is because they are nothing more than lazy, unorganized morons! Period!
