Most people assume the form their custodian sends in January handles the QCD reporting for them. It might not.

Your 1099-R can still show the full distribution amount as taxable even if part of it was a qualified charitable distribution. The IRS has a code that can flag a QCD happened but custodians aren't required to use it for 2025 and 2026. So don't assume that form is telling the whole story.

Taking the money out and fixing the tax reporting are two completely separate things. And the fix has to happen on your return.

If you donated money to charity from your IRA last year this is worth watching before you file.

Most people think they did everything right. They sent the money straight to the charity. But when it gets reported wrong on the tax return that one mistake can cost you thousands. And the frustrating part is it's one of the easiest things to miss.

This is worth catching before you file - not after.

If you gave to charity directly from your IRA last year, there's a mistake that could have cost you thousands.

You could have done the qualified charitable distribution correctly and still paid tax on money you gave away. Not because of bad planning. Because of how it was reported on your tax return.

Here's what happens. Your IRA custodian sends a Form 1099-R in January showing your gross distribution. That form may still show the full amount as taxable even though part of it went directly to charity. The custodian isn't required to separate the QCD portion. That correction has to happen on your Form 1040 — on lines 4b and 4c specifically.

If nobody catches it, you pay tax on money you gave away. In a 22% bracket, a missed $10,000 QCD costs roughly $2,200 in additional federal income tax.

In this video, we walk through exactly where the mistake happens and the three things to confirm before you file.

Did you know Arizona is often considered one of the more tax-friendly states to retire in?

Where you retire matters just as much as how you retire. From a tax perspective, Arizona offers advantages that can make a real difference in how far your retirement savings go.

Here's something that might change how you think about retirement planning.

Two people can retire with the exact same balance and end up with completely different outcomes. One may keep far more of what they earned. The other might unknowingly give away hundreds of thousands more in taxes over time.

Not because of the market. Not because of their spending. Because of how their money was structured.

Tax planning isn't just about investments. It's about keeping more of what you worked decades to build.

If your CPA told you your income was too high for your Roth IRA contribution this year — you're not alone.

But here's what most people don't realize: the IRS charges a 6% penalty on that excess contribution every single year until you fix it. And they won't send you a letter.

While you're working and saving everything looks great on paper. You're doing everything right.

Tax deductions coming in. Accounts growing. The numbers are moving in the right direction. But here's what a lot of high earners don't see coming. All those deferred taxes can pile up at once in retirement. And once Required Minimum Distributions start you may not control the timing anymore.

The IRS does.

We call this the retirement tax time bomb. And the frustrating part is that by the time most people feel it the options to do something about it are already more limited.

You spent your career doing everything right.

Maxing out your 401(k). Deferring taxes. Building real wealth. But here's something most high earners never see coming. All of that may have accidentally created one of the biggest tax problems of your life.

IRA withdrawals. Social Security. RMDs. A pension. IRMAA Medicare surcharges. They can all hit at the same time in retirement. And your tax bill can actually look worse retired than it did when you were working.

We call it the retirement tax time bomb. The money you deferred for decades - the IRS still wants its cut. And once Required Minimum Distributions start you may not control the timing anymore. They decide how much you pull out. Not you.
