well folks I think that at this point
it's pretty clear what's happening and I
think that a lot of the easy money is
now behind us
a lot of the stimulus checks that we're
going out left and right there are still
stimulus checks going out from States
and local governments local
municipalities there's uh tax refunds
but what they're doing right now this is
this is this is low and we talked about
this in previous videos
and we're just seeing more and more
evidence of this as we speak
and unfortunately some big changes are
going to be coming down the pipeline and
this is going to affect everyone
but unfortunately it's going to affect a
segment of our economy a segment of our
unfortunately on of our community more
so than others
we're talking low-income Americans
middle class Americans High income
earners
entrepreneurs investors
we're talking individuals who are on
fixed income Social Security SSI SSDI
Railroad Retirement folks in fact if we
see this Railroad Strike
mark my words guys this will be even
worse for the average American
especially for those who are on low
income
or carrying high levels of debt
carrying high levels of debt especially
High interest debt now
if you're on Social Security if you're
on SSI SSDI you may be seeing an
increase in your monthly paychecks
coming forward but I'm getting more and
more complaints from people saying hey
yeah we're getting more money on our
social security benefits but now they're
pulling back on the snap and EBT
benefits now you guys can comment down
below and let me know what you're seeing
but even people who are uh starting
their entrepreneurial Journey they're
stepping out they're investing in
themselves they're uh generating side
hustle income to supplement their income
additional side jobs here and there
they're selling items that they're uh
clear clearing out their basement with
in terms of uh generating additional
streams of income by listing products on
Amazon they're selling products
receiving payments through payment apps
such as cash app venmo and PayPal even
these individuals these side Hustlers
these early entrepreneurs are being hit
and you got to wonder what is the Fed
doing why is the Fed attacking the the
middle class why is the Fed attacking
the lower income earners here well
beyond the FED beyond what fed share
Jerome Powell is doing and we've already
seen what the FED is doing to the
housing market the great impact it is
having on the housing market I mean
layoffs are already running rampant I
mean we're already seeing it but
unfortunately these layoffs could even
take
it to the next level if the Fed
prevents housing from picking up in the
springtime like we normally do
seasonally housing sales the volume of
home sales will pick up during the
springtime from Spring through summer
this is pretty much the peak of the
season if we don't see this housing
market pick up during this time it's
going to be incredibly incredibly scary
for a lot of Americans because the
housing market you know whether you're a
renter whether you're a home buyer
whether you're a home seller the housing
market provides so much to our economy
in terms of jobs in terms of Revenue
profits for businesses you name it
thousands millions of jobs are generated
through the housing market now the IRS
just released a new warning
and I'm telling you this is going to
affect everyone but unfortunately the
way that they have this thing the way
that they've crafted this thing thanks
to the IRS thanks in part to the Fed
Americans with no assets Americans
without
a strong financial plan Americans
without a a financial strategy will be
hit the hardest now the IRS is warning
that your next tax return may be smaller
than you've seen it in the past now like
I said easy money
such as stimulus checks State stimulus
checks some of the state stimulus checks
are still coming out I'm not gonna lie
to you guys but as far as a fourth
stimulus check the federal fourth
stimulus check coming out
we haven't seen it we hadn't seen any
stimulus checks from the federal
government in 2022 now going into 2023
the IRS is warning that your next tax
return may be even smaller okay now
Americans they're already starting to
see The Squeeze by inflation uh we're
facing a potential recession whether
we're actually in one right now at this
moment or not that remains to be seen
but we're already hearing from Big Banks
like JP Morgan Chase uh Jamie dimon
CEO of JPMorgan Chase we've heard from
Brian Monahan from Bank of America CEO
of Bank of America
they're all warning about this 2023 uh
right around the corner this recession
that's going to be hitting us hard now
what's even scarier though and I'm not
saying this will scare you guys
but we have to be prepared and so I want
my community to know what's coming down
the pipeline I know a lot of people they
expect these big huge tax refunds you
know going into 2023
um and they take these tax refunds and
they typically will make large purchases
with them maybe get some you know
repairs done around the house maybe make
an investment invest in your business
maybe creating that small business
getting that business off the ground
maybe it's used for maybe this tax
refund would be used for a down payment
on a house maybe your tax refund might
be used to make some car repairs maybe
it's a down payment on a brand new car I
don't know what you might use that down
payment that uh tax refund for maybe
it's the payoff credit card debt a lot
of Americans right now they're looking
to aggressively pay down credit card
debt especially since the FED has been
raising interest rates and these
interest rates are increasing how much
your monthly minimum payment is on these
credit cards Visa Mastercard American
Express it doesn't matter it's across
the board now the thing is this is this
is really concerning
because there's actually multiple
warnings that have actually come out
from the IRS
now the IRS warned on Tuesday that the
tax refunds may be smaller because there
was no stimulus payment in 2022 now in
addition to that it also mentioned that
the pandemic era exception in 2020 as
well as 2021 that allowed those taking
the standard deduction to claim a tax
deduction of up to 300 for cash
donations to charity has not been
extended so the only way again to write
off gifts to charity is to essentially
itemize now itemizing or itemization has
been available you know year after year
after year but again it's another change
so
I'm just putting this out there to you
guys now this can be alarming to
millions of Americans who rely on these
tax refunds you know like I said
Americans usually make these take these
tax refunds it almost seems like free
money but it's really not free money
when you get a tax refund from the IRS
you know a thousand two thousand three
thousand four thousand some people get
eight thousand dollar tax refunds from
the IRS I'm not sure how much your
average tax refund from the IRS is but
some of these tax refunds they really
get up there and they take these tax
refunds they shovel shovel this tax
refund check into their High interest
savings account maybe they make
investments maybe they're paying off
debt
but uh this this this is going to be a
huge change now the scarier part about
this okay the scarier part about this is
that
the changes that are going to happen
this year and you know we are from the
Biden Administration he said that he
would not be raising taxes on anyone who
made I think he said less than 400 000 a
year but if you look at this new tax
rule
people who have worked people who have
part-time work they have side hustles
they have you know they have uh small
businesses maybe they have maybe they're
selling products online or maybe they
just sell occasional Goods on Etsy or
eBay
they're gonna have to be very very
Vigilant paying attention and keeping an
eye out in their mailbox for a form
1099-k
now pay attention to this form 1099k
guys because if you get this form and
you don't take appropriate action you
could automatically have an IRS audit
triggered and the last thing you want is
one of these 87 000 brand new IRS agents
armed banging on your door
asking you why you didn't file your
1099-k form
now I'm pretty sure they're not going to
actually knock on your door but you know
here's the thing anybody who sells 600
or more in a calendar year of services
or goods and accepts payment through
third-party networks and you know these
are e-commerce networks such as venmo
PayPal
or debit or credit cards they will
receive a 1099k form with these
transactions and you must report the
income or risk in automatic automated
IRS notice or even an audit from the IRS
now this comes from some of the higher
ups
um in in a very reputable CPA firm So I
myself I'm not a CPA you know none of
this is tax advice but this is just you
know a friend to a friend sharing this
information because it's getting real
out here it's getting real now
the only thing I can suggest at this
point is to get organized start building
a plan uh start trying to figure out
okay how much could you possibly be
owing figuring out what kind of tax
deductions you can qualify for obviously
you want to speak with a qualified uh
certified public accountant a CPA a
well-informed tax preparer now keep in
mind that a tax preparer and attack
strategies these are two completely
different uh professions well not really
two different professions but they're
two different types of skill sets and
they're not the same so make sure you're
working with the appropriate party now
but you know at the end of the day the
key is to get organized you know you
don't have to be super organized with a
file cabinet and all that but you need a
basic simple method uh or maybe a shoe
box or envelope that way you can kind of
consolidate all of your
end of the year tax documents that are
going to start coming in the mail any
day now I'm talking about your your 1099
forms your uh your 1099k forms
separately I'm talking about your your
your dividend interest forms that you
might get from your savings bank maybe
your investment brokerage account uh
anywhere you may have received any form
of interest uh if you pay taxes for
example if you paid uh property taxes
you may have
spent thousands of dollars on property
taxes save those forms save those
documents do you have any tax deductible
interest that you may have paid for your
mortgage definitely hold on to that as
well
this can certainly offset and
potentially increase how much your tax
refund could be and at this point we
definitely need any and all advantages
that we can get to potentially increase
the amount of tax refund that we could
possibly get and hopefully if you owe
taxes hopefully you can reduce the
amount of taxes that will be due now we
talked about small businesses many many
times in previous videos now one of the
benefits of one of the many benefits of
being a business owner
and and even more importantly being a
home-based business owner is the
incredible amount of tax advantages that
are opened up to you by being a business
owner now you know without getting into
all the different complexities you can
just start off you know being a a sole
proprietor however
I would probably take it a step further
and just go a little bit beyond just
being a sole proprietor I would probably
incorporate with an LLC possibly even an
S corp if your revenues are high enough
but businesses qualify for an an
assortment of additional tax deductions
tax advantages that a standard employee
a standard W-2 employee won't have so I
just want to make sure that you guys are
aware of this certainly you know speak
with your Tax Advisor for more
information on this but I wanted to make
sure that the community is aware of what
is coming down the pipeline so you know
even if you've got that side hustle you
know and you're generating income it
used to be it used to be so that
um you could generate up to twenty
thousand dollars in transactions without
triggering any type of
um automation or automated uh 1099k form
but this change came about from a
passage of the American Rescue plan act
back in 2021 y'all remember where the
third stimulus check came about well
before that the reporting threshold was
for taxpayers with more than 200
transactions worth a total amount of
above twenty thousand dollars but now
they have since lowered this threshold
to only 600 so think about this for a
second if they lower their threshold
from twenty thousand dollars to six
hundred dollars who do you think they're
coming after
I mean it's not the billionaires and
multi-millionaires that are um that that
are going to be affected by this no it's
the middle income it's the middle class
it's the lower income Americans that are
going to be hit by this massive change
and it actually may force a lot of
people who don't normally even have to
file a tax return to all of a sudden
have to file a tax return
I mean I know a lot of viewers you know
contacted me letting me know hey you
know I didn't get my stimulus check or
or whatnot and they happen to mention
that I don't normally file a tax return
so there's a lot of Americans who are
not normally obligated to file a tax
return that may all of a sudden have to
do so so make sure to share this video
with anyone who you know with a friend a
loved one who needs to know this
information anybody who you know uh who
normally doesn't file a tax return they
may want to pay attention to these
changes that are coming down the
pipeline and you know props to all of
the new entrepreneurs that are getting
their small businesses up and off the
ground uh even if you're you know just
selling products that you already own
that you know you're cleaning out your
basement you're cleaning out your garage
your listing products on Craigslist
Amazon you can sell used products on
Amazon too uh Amazon FBA fulfilled but
fulfillment by Amazon you can sell
products on let go
um there's Facebook Marketplace and of
course there's eBay but of course while
generating these revenues through the
sales of old items or maybe items that
you flipped maybe it's Retail Arbitrage
whatever the case may be these are going
to likely cause transactions or cash or
Revenue to be coming into your business
by way of venmo PayPal
uh and you know many of these are Cash
Out many of these other popular
electronic payment gateways so just a
quick heads up to the community and also
I want you guys to be aware that
uh you should check the eligibility for
the clean vehicle credit now again check
with your Tax Advisor check with your
your CPA but
certain Vehicles may be eligible to to
benefit from the federal tax credit of 7
500 so just FYI run that by your CPA run
that by your tax person perhaps you can
increase how much of a tax refund check
you can get coming in 2023. but let me
know what you guys are thinking drop me
some comments drop me some thoughts uh
let me know what you're thinking uh
we're expecting some big changes coming
down the pipeline from the fed the next
