EP 50: Strategies To Reduce Your Taxes While Supercharging Charitable Donations

In preparing taxes for our clients, we find 9 out of 10 ER Docs donate, in some form, to charity. And statistics support that claim. But the traditional way of writing a check to a charity or two you believe in likely isn’t the best way to give. More creative ways exist – ones that not only can benefit you better tax-wise, but that can result in the charity receiving more money than they would have otherwise received. A true win-win. 

In this episode, we highlight some of these creative strategies so you can feel confident with the philanthropic route you take.

  • What year donations were the lowest in the past 20 years.
