It all depends on the context, not the noun used as the subject. There are situations (context) when は and が are interchangeable to an extent with only a slight difference in the nuance, which is basically the case with your sentences about money above. "I have money." vs. "I have the money." However, the は and が aren't at all interchangeable in your sentences about Tanaka.
I know it's frustrating to you but it will take a few years for anyone to start using those two particles correctly over 70% of the time, let alone 80.
