20/20 Money Episode # 101 -Taxes 101: Understanding Tax Brackets, Deductions, and Credits

October 12, 2020

We’ve had a number of tax planning strategies for optometrists to consider in the past, but we’ve never really covered the basics of our tax system. In this episode, I’ll share with you how our income tax system works. I’ll also cover the difference between deductions and credits, explain which one’s better, and some common tax fallacies that we’ve seen over the years.
