00:00 – Intro
03:22 “The reason we talk taxes right at the end of tax season is because this is when you’re thinking about it and the best time to make a change is right now for 2016 because most strategies that are available to you take time to implement”
05:33 “The truth is, you have more control over how much you pay in taxes in retirement than any other time in your life”
07:29 “You could be generating hundreds of thousands of dollars of income and pay very little tax on your Social Security depending on how that income is classified”
12:19 “We’ve seen people who have money outside of retirement accounts that pay very little tax, sometimes none because of tax loss harvesting and municipal bond income”
19:02 “Our firm has always been a fiduciary, we are a fee-only Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) and never accept commissions of any kind”
26:37 “When you take money out of a 401(k) or IRA, you have to pay taxes on it, and a lot of people don’t realize that”
35:49 “You can actually do the Section 121 Exclusion and the 1031 Exchange on the same property”
