In this episode, Aaron and Trishul discuss how taxes work in non-qualified investment accounts. Without account-level IRS rules or benefits, it's the actual investments inside of these accounts that drive the tax implications. Savings accounts and bonds generate taxes on interest. Stocks may have dividends and capital gain taxes, which depend on your income and holding period. And mutual funds can create a tax burden even if you don't sell any shares. Given all this, how do you think about which investments to pick and what type of account to use? They compare different strategies, expand on the benefits of buy and hold, and discuss asset allocation versus asset location. By understanding after-tax total return, you can find the gray area on the spectrum between investments and taxes that makes the most sense for your situation.
