In his Forbes column, Co-Director of the Retirement Income Center at The American College of Financial Services, Steve Parrish writes about the Qualified Business Income or “QBI” deduction and how it can be used as a retirement planning solution.

Ross Riskin, assistant professor of taxation at the American College of Financial Services met with CNBC Make It to discuss student loan repayment assistant programs: “Just because something comes out and it’s popular doesn’t always mean its good. You shouldn’t accept a job just because the company provides this type of assistance either. The salary offered, other benefits and your passion for the work are just as important. “It shouldn’t be the main driver for them to take the job,” Riskin says.
