By now you probably have heard that the military will not have their social security-FICA taxes withheld for the rest of 2020. While you may have heard about it, you may not know what to do about it.
To get everyone up to speed quickly, I’ve invited Kate Horrell from KateHorrell.com and Daniel Kopp from Wise Stewardship Financial Planning to break down what the tax deferral is and how you can best manage the money for your current situation.
It’s always fun to have Daniel and Kate on the show. Because we’re friends I decided to put that friendship to the test in Game Time. Listen to hear who knows me best, Daniel or Kate.
Thank You!
