VOLUME 5 2023

Tax time may finally be over for many of us, but rather than sitting back and relaxing until next filing season, now is the best time to focus on the year ahead! Take some time to understand your financial situation and make improvements throughout the year to be better prepared for the future.

In this newsletter, you'll learn about common business entity structures and how to improve your financial literacy, including defining a few common terms. If you have a money-making hobby, we've also got advice on understanding how that could affect your taxes and avoid any potential issues with the IRS. Lastly, you’ll hear from Padgett client Jenna Speight about how working with Padgett has been essential to her success, despite life's challenges.
