How to Read a K-1

Today’s episode is all about taxes! Specifically, we’re going to
be talking about K-1s. A K-1 is a tax form that you get from
private investment (typically an LLC.) on an investment you’ve
made. This is the tax form you’re going to get yearly from that
sponsor so you can pay your taxes on that income.

tune in to get all the basis on what exactly a K-1 is, how they
work, the key pieces of information within them, their benefits,
