20/20 Money Episode # 47 – Three Taxes to be Aware of When You Sell Your Practice

September 30, 2019

On this episode of 20/20 Money, I keep the theme going of “Selling in September” and talk about three of the biggest taxes to be aware of when you sell your practice and how those taxes will impact the net proceeds that you will walk away from after the sale of your practice. I also discuss the ongoing investment-related taxes that you need to be aware of as well and which investment vehicles are usually more tax efficient for a non-retirement brokerage account, which is typically the type of account that an OD will use for the net proceeds from the sale of their practice. In addition, I also provide a link to a more detailed discussion on ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) for those that want to get a bit deeper on ETFs.
