Understanding the benefits and drawbacks of different retirement plans is crucial to long-term tax planning. Most retirement plan investment earnings are taxed at ordinary income tax rates—you receive an ordinary tax deduction for every contribution, and you pay ordinary income tax rates when you withdraw funds. However, certain types of retirement plans come with special tax exemptions and other financial benefits, which taxpayers can take advantage of with some advance planning.

It looks like another banner year for eCommerce and online shopping this holiday season. And that means that more companies may find themselves with new sales tax obligations. Online shopping from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday (Nov. 29) this year did fall short of 2020’s total; observers said this might have been because shoppers, fearing supply chain problems, began hitting the buy button earlier in the holiday shopping season.

I always make new year’s resolutions, but I also put “SALY” (Same as Last Year) after some of last year’s. Resolutions are made with great resolve, but things interfere.
