The catch is FTUSA doesnt spend a ton of money on advertising and lobbying and lots of boomers still use TT since the CD days.

Think about how much software in so many areas has been commoditized. Persona taxes are just not that complicated for most ppl and no reason to spend $100+ every year

Why do you get audit defense?

I honestly wouldn’t pay for it. I have stock sales from swing trading, foreign rental income and 2 other businesses.I’ve used TurboTax for all of it to file my returns and it’s been fine. Only reason I use TT is because of the automatic upload of all my stock market traders. I’m pretty good about keeping records up to date.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

Should I pay all cash or get a mortgage? My rate will likely be 5.5%, loan amount 420k to 840k (depending on how much I want to put down). With paying all cash, the sales office gives me an $15k incentive/discount. If i don’t get mortgage, I can always do home equity line of credit later (instead of refinance) if interest rate lowers in the future, right? What are the factors I should think about when approaching this? Also, nuanced differences between home equity line of credit vs refinance?
