Open Q&A on Most Federal Income Tax Planning Topics

Questions sent in ahead of time are more likely to be addressed. Whether I answer is subject to my sole discretion. Questions that are succinct and likely useful to others are most likely to be answered. Sending me your financial life story or questions that are long, rambling, and of little use to others are unlikely to be answered. My track record on answering questions is 90%+. 

Usual Review, Back & Forth, Q&A of SDIRA, rentals, business tax reduction strategies, review of asset protection developments

AI for Business Owners and Investors

A Major Focus This Year Dallas 2026 dedicates significant time to AI — how business owners are using it to automate the back office, cut labor costs, and widen margins without security nightmares, and how investors are using it to evaluate deals faster and spot problems before they buy. Featured expert: Ben Brown, the software engineer building John's own air-gapped document system.

Securities Law Guest Speaker

Entrepreneurs & Investors in any field. And your tax people or financial advisor – a lot of business owners have brought their team. Bring ‘em or send ‘em instead.

Networkers. Attendees constantly rave about their fellow attendees. Things Happen in such rooms

Maybe Not a Good Fit: The topics covered are advanced. As such, I normally attract a lot of tax pros & financial planners in spite of the class not qualifying for CPE or the like.

Pure W2 earners with no future plans for having a business or doing serious Alt Investing (e.g., something other than in the markets & the like) – not sure how much I can help you. The tax system is designed to hammer you. I’d rather you not show than show & be disappointed

Beginners love it or hate it. Some want to me to stop the presentation and explain basics. I shall not. Those who take notes and follow up ending up learning a great deal which may be helpful today (or not) and very likely very helpful in the future. You’ve been warned.
