I'm about to share some 2025 year-end tax planning tips and items to consider in this is the 177th episode of the Retirement Planning Education Podcast.

Welcome to the Retirement Planning Education Podcast, where you can learn all about IRAs and Roth IRAs, employer retirement plans, taxes, social security, Medicare, portfolio

withdrawal strategies, annuities, estate planning, and much more. And now here's your host, Andy Panco.

Hello, everybody. Welcome back to thank you as well as for listening. Today, as we get near year

end, so this episode is coming out the first week of November 2025.

I figured it would be timely to share some year-end tax planning, tax return, tax tips,

and items to consider as we are roughly a little less than two months left in the year.

And a lot of things tax planning related need to happen within

the calendar year. So I'll be sure to share those in this episode. I wanted to warn you ahead of

time. I have coming back from a cold or on the back end of a cold, I should say, and my nose

kind of hurts, like my sinuses hurts. My head feels sort of like hollow. And if I knock on my head, it like hurts inside my head like my sinuses hurts my head feels sort of like hollow and if i knock on my head

it like hurts inside my head and my sinuses um i had really bad congestion last week and the congestion

is mostly gone but there's still some residual something not cool going on so my voice is still a little

feels like like hollowy or echoey or i don't know something weird but so apologies in advance for that um the

apple iTunes reviews so we are at 819 reviews as of it is November 1st 2025 as of when i'm

recording this so thank you to everyone i think that's almost 60 80-ish reviews since I first shamelessly begged you

all for Apple iTunes reviews. So greatly appreciate that. Let's keep going, chugging on

toward the goal of 1,000. And again, I have no idea why set that goal. It just feels like a nice,

cool, round number to achieve. And I would be super, super happy and grateful if and when we get there.

One thousand Apple iTunes reviews of this show.

My dad joke, before I share a dad joke, so as I was walking back from my office a few days

ago or earlier this week, there was a car.
