Summertime and The Living Was Easy - August 2019 NewsletterSummertime and The Living Was Easy by Philip J. Kavesh, Attorney One of a series of personal reflections upon growing up in small town America in the 60’s. It was June of 1964, a wonderful time in rural South Jersey.

This new law will enhance the ability of workers to set aside, on a tax-advantaged basis, more money to fund their retirement. Good news! However, also buried in the Bill is a little-known provision that will accelerate and increase the taxation of inherited IRAs - - in order to pay for these new worker benefits! Not so good news!

Are You Overpaying For Prescription Drugs?Whether you (or your parents) are a senior citizen, and even if you (or your parents) already have insurance coverage for prescription drugs, you’ll want to read on. My Mom’s Story... I’ll begin with a short but poignant story. Recently, I took over all my Mom’s affairs. At age 93, she is blessed with remarkably good health, but now her dementia has advanced to the stage where she is unable to manage her own affairs. Like it or not, statistics predict that most of us will someday face a “twilight period” like this when we can no longer adequately take care of ourselves (which is a major issue we address in a well-drafted estate plan).

Would You Like to Pay MORE Income Taxes?You’re probably thinking, “Of course not!” However, sadly, you may in fact be paying more than you have to - - especially now that the President’s “Tax Cut and Jobs Act” has caused many Californians’ federal income taxes to go up in 2018. (If you haven’t filed your 2018 return yet, I’m sorry to inform you that you may be rudely awakenED when you do!)
