ALL THE MONEY NEWS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Mon Feb 12 2024

 

Daniel de Visé Personal Finance Reporter

Good morning! It's Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money.

Older workers are everywhere these days. And so, it seems, is age discrimination.

Roughly two-thirds of adults over 50 believe older workers face discrimination in the workplace, according to a new AARP report. Of that group, 90% believe ageism is commonplace.

The finding, based on a series of surveys in 2022 and 2023, comes at a time when America's labor pool is conspicuously aging. The 65-and-up workforce has quadrupled in size since the mid-1980s. Nearly one-quarter of the workforce is 55 or older. Read the story.

What the soaring stock market means for your retirement

We're going allll the way back to Friday for this one, which drew readers in droves all through the weekend:

The S&P 500 hit yet another milestone, Bailey Schulz reports, ending above 5,000 for the first time on Friday.

It's good news for Americans' 401(k)s, which are heavily invested in stocks, and comes just three weeks after the index notched its first record close since January of 2022. 

(Historical aside: We're pretty sure we were already in this business on the day the S&P 500 ended above 500 for the first time. Further disclosure: We once owned a flip phone.)

Death is certain, but what about taxes? Not always. There are many ways to whittle down those due on corporate and individual income, legal or not. By one estimate, the United States loses the equivalent of three-quarters of its federal budget deficit to unpaid taxes every year.   Tax abuse comes in two main forms: evasion and avoidance. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service   defines   tax evasion as a deliberate underpayment of taxes, a   crime that can lead to hefty fines and even prison time. This differs from tax avoidance, the practice of legally exploiting loopholes in the tax code.    In 2020, the Internal Revenue Service issued nearly 34 million income tax penalties totaling $14.1 billion  against individual and estate and trust income taxes. The largest number of censures involved failure to pay, followed by not paying enough or late payment of estimated tax. Other penalty types include delinquency, bounced checks, and inaccuracies. Interestingly, outright tax fraud made up the smallest share of the volume of IRS penalties, at just 1,330 totaling $113 million in fines.    For corporate tax evasion, the IRS issued   587,511 penalties totaling $1.43 billion in 2020, including 57 incidents of tax fraud that incurred $7.9 million in penalties. (These are    19 big companies that paid almost nothing - or nothing at all - in taxes in 2021   .)      To identify the countries losing the most to tax abuse, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed    The World's Biggest Tax Offenders   , a report published by the financial software company Tipalti. The rank is based on the losses to tax abuse as a percentage of total tax revenue collected.   These percentages range from 4.15% to 22.26%.     When it comes to tax abuse, the United States isn't on the top list of countries losing the most, even among developed nations. For   example, Germany and the United Kingdom have higher rates of tax abuse as a percentage of total tax revenue collected. Other countries with a high rate of tax abuse include Singapore and Colombia - but the worst of all is Ireland.  (These are the    countries collecting the most taxes.   )
