@Vickie Helm This book was an exceptional read, deeply informative without ever feeling heavy or inaccessible. It breaks down complex topics like land ownership, Golden Visas, asset trusts, holding companies, crypto, and Al in a way that's both practical and easy to digest. What stood out most is that it doesn't tiptoe around private wealth management or money strategy subjects, most people treat as taboo. Instead, it addresses them head-on, offering clarity where there's usually silence. Empowering, enlightening, and refreshingly honest. You even shared losses, (which happens more than people realize!), in a very real and transparent way. I appreciate you. A fun fact about me: Boarding school/Finishing school to a Women’s College gave me the audacity and emboldened me to purchase my first home at 21 and own 3 by 24. Did this before I got married 😉 It’s women supporting women, and guiding them that truly builds communities. I am currently in th process of applying for dual citizenship for my children.

Good morning all. I am excited to be here. I am a Christian, woe, mom of 6 sons and 1 daughter 😁❤️. I am a lover of education, a realtor, and real estate investor..I am in North Carolina. We have other investments as well, so I am looking to learn more about wealth strategies, grow, celebrate with you all and contribute. Have a wonderful day! 😁

I thought the undependent women here trading in cryptocurrency might like to be made aware of these new IRS rules. After four years of work, the IRS has finalized its cryptocurrency regulations, and crypto tax reporting now begins. Starting with the 2025 tax year, custodial crypto platforms must report taxable crypto transactions directly to the IRS. “Digital asset brokers” must handle this reporting when they take custody of the digital assets their customers sell or exchange. These brokers include - operators of centralized trading platforms such as Coinbase, Kraken, and Binance; and - hosted wallet providers (also called “custodial wallets”). Most crypto transactions run through these brokers. Brokers must file the new IRS Form 1099-DA, Digital Asset Proceeds From Broker Transactions. This form reports the following: - Customer’s name, address, and taxpayer identification number - Name and quantity of the digital asset sold - Sale date - Gross proceeds amount Brokers must file the first Forms 1099-DA for the 2025 tax year by March 31, 2026. For 2025 only, brokers must report gross proceeds from sales or other transfers. Gross proceeds represent the total amount you receive when you sell or exchange crypto, before any fees or other costs. Beginning in 2026, brokers must also report the customer’s cost basis—the original value of the crypto at acquisition plus any associated costs. With Form 1099-DA in place, you will find it easier to calculate your crypto gains and losses when you file your return. However, the IRS will know much more about your transactions.
