In this episode of Dollars & Sense, Kristin Kalley and Christina Lamb tackle two important financial topics that can have a big impact on your family’s future. First, they break down which accounts parents should prioritize when they have a baby, including 529 plans, custodial accounts, and newer savings opportunities that could help build long-term, tax-advantaged wealth for children. Then, they shift gears and unpack some of the most commonly misunderstood federal income tax rules—covering tax brackets, write-offs, refunds, Roth conversions, capital gains, and more.
If you’ve ever wondered how to start saving for your child, or if you’ve heard tax advice that sounded a little too simple to be true, this episode will help you think more strategically and avoid costly mistakes.
