  Register for free June 2 Taxbot webinar  
 

Sandy Botkin is a former IRS tax attorney and he knows the ins-and-outs of the tax code better than anyone in the business. NVR member benefit partner Taxbot, featuring Botkin, is hosting a special presentation, highlighting the top 10 deductions real estate professionals should be using right now.

This one presentation could save REALTORS thousands in taxes this year alone. The upcoming Taxbot webinar titled, "How can two people with identical incomes get two very different tax refunds?" will cover these topics and much more: 

  • Why most self-employed people "donate" an extra $10,000 to the IRS and how to make sure you get every deduction you are legally entitled to!
  • How to legally pay for your kid's hobbies, sports, video games, and even their college education-through your business-tax free!
  • The IRS approved "Healthcare Refund" that you have never heard about even though it has been in the tax code for 60+ years! This could be the easiest money you can find with average savings of almost $6,000/year for those that qualify.
  • Travel points are great... But they are worth nothing when compared to the cash savings you can get when you plan your travel so that you get bonus tax deductions!

The free Taxbot webinar will be held Wednesday, June 2 at 10 a.m. Be sure to register by clicking here.

  Last week to apply for 2022 NAR committees  
 

REALTOR® members can apply to a 2022 Committee and help shape the direction of the National Association of REALTORS®. Now through May 28, members may submit their applications in order to be considered for a committee leadership or member position. 

NVR members are encouraged to submit multiple applications (up to five) in order to be considered for all committees they have an interest in serving on. However, members will only receive one appointment, per current policy. Applications are compiled for review by NAR Officers during the NAR committee selection process.

To the extent possible, the composition of committees shall be representative of the general membership. While broad-based representation is desirable, this should not be construed as limiting the president from appointing the most knowledgeable and competent individuals available to serve on committees. Click here to apply for an NAR committee.
