Best advice? Don’t take advice from the wrong place (Robert D. Flach):
I have given it much thought and decided the best piece of tax advice I can give anyone is DO NOT ACCEPT TAX ADVICE FROM ANYONE OTHER THAN A PROFESSIONAL TAX PREPARER.
I usually continue my answer by saying “don’t listen to your brother-in-law, your cousin Manny, your auto mechanic, your neighbor or co-workers, or a guy you ride to work with on the train”.But I also mean don’t listen to a broker, banker, insurance salesman, or other “financial professional”.
