America’s IRA Expert Updates Best-Selling Book, Offers Special Year-End Planning Guide
The end of the year is fast approaching, yet there is still time to take charge of your taxes.
While that might seem like something only the wealthy would do, there are also ways for the average American to save money — even if you are part of the 90% who take the standard deduction (which is $12,400 for single filers in 2020).
IRA guru Ed Slott doesn’t trust politicians with his taxes—and doesn’t think you should, either.
A well-known retirement expert (and a recovering certified public accountant), Slott leads seminars for financial planners, advises regular folks on how to retire securely and recently updated his 2003 classic, “The New Retirement Savings Time Bomb,” to address Congress’ latest indiscretions.
