Do I Need a CPA?

This Week on The Compound

This week on The Compound

This week on Jill on Money, Jill Schlesinger and Mark Talerico talk with noted tax expert Ed Slott. In the first of a two-parter, they discussed the history of U.S. tax rates, why 90% of people don’t itemize deductions, 529 to Roth IRA conversions, and whether you need a CPA to file your taxes.

OUTSIDE THE COMPOUND

It has been a crazy few weeks in the markets, especially crypto. Michael Batnick at the Irrelevant Investor looks at how to put your FOMO into some sort of perspective.

It’s hard to watch and not feel like you’re missing out. FOMO is not evenly distributed. The more online you are, the likelier you are to feel it. The less secure your finances, the likelier you are to feel it. The more your friends are making money, the likelier you are to feel it.
