I don’t qualify for many DSTs I’m finishing due to the amount I sold the house for vs my loan on it.I might have to pull out the cash and at least I’ll have a year before I have to pay the tax man, I might just invest in stocks or a high interest account instead.im also thinking to maybe to tax defer some through a IRA… I’m new to all this, I paid over $50k in taxes from my severance package too last week :(Quote from @Dave Foster: @Jemma Jacques.
