In this week’s episode of The Money Guy Show, we talk about ways you can align your Army of Dollar Bills with a heart of giving. Being generous and minimizing your taxes can go hand-in-hand if you are thoughtful with the way you give.

We cover how the new tax changes impact your charitable donations and the result it can have on your taxes.  Tune in to this week’s episode to learn how you can maximize your charitable giving under the 2018 tax changes.

Here’s what you’ll find out in this week’s show:

  • Unique ideas on ways you can give and take advantage of tax breaks available
  • Why you should consider gifting appreciated securities and what’s changed starting this year
  • How you can give more to charity and avoid paying Uncle Sam altogether

  • How you can leverage CGF for after-tax investments
  • What you can do differently in 2018 than previous years to take advantage of a charitable tax deduction
