We're back, baby! After a year-long hiatus (and a new baby in the Hill household!), Personal Finance from the Hill-Top is kicking off Season 2. In this episode, I’m joined by my good friend Tyler Landes, CFP®, as we break down the last-minute tax planning moves you can still make before Tax Day (April 15th).

✅ What to Do If You Owe the IRS – Payment options, extensions, and penalties

✅ Planning Ahead for Next Year – Tax projections, safe harbor rules, and why tax planning is a year-round sport
