In Episode 85 of Last Paycheck, Rob and Archie Hoxton lay out a plan to make tax time easier and more strategic.
1. Decide Who’s Doing What
- Book a CPA early
- Block time for DIY filing
- Gather your documents in advance

2. Get Organized
- Account statements
- Tax forms (1099s, W-2s)
- Life event documentation
3. Don’t Skip the Review
You are legally responsible for what’s filed. Review every line.
4. Strategy > Scramble
Tax planning starts in November, not March. Make Roth contributions, harvest losses, and give charitably before year-end.
