Taxes on the Series 7 exam don't have to be complicated. The problem is that tax questions show up everywhere — stocks, bonds, mutual funds, options, retirement accounts, and even wash sales.
In this episode, the Series 7 Whisperer breaks down the tax concepts you actually need to know to pass the Series 7 exam. No unnecessary CPA-level details, no memorizing endless tax brackets — just the rules, shortcuts, and calculations that matter on test day.
What we cover:
- Ordinary income vs. capital gains
- Short-term vs. long-term capital gains
- Qualified and nonqualified dividends
- Municipal, Treasury, and corporate bond taxation
- Cost basis for inherited and gifted securities
- Wash sales and the 30-day rule
- Tax treatment of options, premiums, exercise, and assignment
- Covered calls, protective puts, and option spreads
- Bond premiums, discounts, and accretion
- Tax-equivalent yield
Whether you're preparing for the SIE exam, Series 7 exam, or Series 66 exam, this episode will help you understand the concepts instead of blindly memorizing rules.
Study smarter. Not harder. And remember: MAKE IT SMALLER!
