Tax Planning Los Angeles in light of the GOP Tax Bill – CBS News covers what it may mean for you and your finances. With Guest Financial Planner LA David Rae speaking with Jeff Michael and Kara Finnstrom.

I was recently on the CBS News Los Angeles discussing what GOP Tax Plan means for Los Angeles. Who will the Tax reform help? Who will end up paying more in taxes? Sadly, the answer is likely many of you reading this will be hurt by many provisions in this GOP tax bill.
A few areas of concern with the GOP Tax Plan:
- The Mortgage Deduction is Limited. $750,000 may be Mansion in Kansas, but it is a dirt lot in much of Los Angeles.
- Limiting of the State and Local Tax Deduction. Things state taxes and property taxes.
- Elimination of deduction for unreimbursed employee expenses. This one is especially rough on those in the entertainment industry. Have an agent or manager? This change will cost you a ton.
Limiting of Home Equity Lines of Credit Tax Deduction
Speaker Paul Ryan is telling us success stories of people who are getting an extra $1.50 per week. What would you do with a whopping $1.50 per week? I may sound like I’m complaining, but I wish I was lucky enough to be getting $1.50 per week, rather than paying thousands more. The GOP Tax Bill literally seems to try and punish the hard working people of cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco New York, and San Diego. The Trump Tax Plan makes tax planning for Los Angeles residents even more imperative. Do you really want Donald Trump wasting your hard earned money?
Be Proactive and do what you can to keep more of your hard earned money. Tax Planning Los Angeles is the name of the game for 2018.

Not to belabor the point, but — nothing that administration puts forth is ever legitimate. We have to do our own tax relief research, based on legitimate Proposition 13 and Prop 58 rules & regs… and make our own moves, avoiding anything they propose. As residential or commercial property owners, we do have a few options left, even after Proposition 19. For example — we can pursue property tax reduction, or a legitimate tax appeal, by using a firm like https://paramountpropertytaxappeal.com, currently offering a free evaluation, at https://www.paramountpropertytaxappeal.com/#form1 — so we can see if we’ll be able to receive a Property Tax Appeal, a Business Property Tax Appeal, help with Personal Property Compliance, or possibly a Property Appraisal on our home or commercial property we may own. Sounds OK to me, gang — and it’s pro bono! We can also lock in an extremely low property tax base, in line with California’s 1978 Proposition 13 and the 1986 Proposition 58, by getting a Prop 19 trust loan. Making it possible to take advantage of a property tax transfer, with the same old parent to child exemption; inheriting parents’ property taxes and still avoiding property tax reassessment. As usual, from a reliable trust lender like https://cloanc.com. Easy to verify at a fact-based Prop 13 / Prop 58 trust fund info blog like https://propertytaxtransfertrusts.com or the CA state BOE Website.
