from Wealthy Way · host Ryan Pineda

Greg and Ryan debunk the paralyzing fear surrounding IRS audits, detailing what auditors actually look for versus what people think will land them in jail. They discuss the infamous case of "The Situation" from Jersey Shore, explain why it is illegal not to file but not illegal not to pay, and break down how the government actively incentivizes you to invest in energy and write it off against active income.
