Dear Family,
Do the weeks seem to fly by faster and faster? Whew! It was just Monday a few minutes ago.
OK, the big excitement this week was Congress pushing through the HIRE Act – and President Obama signed it immediately. Kind of surprised my friends at IRS when I called first thing yesterday morning. They couldn’t give anything ‘on the record’ until the bill was signed into law. They told me President Obama often holds bills for days without signing them; I’d have to wait. A few hours later – voila! A press release from IRS because the HIRE Act was suddenly law. See, you really should believe your TaxMama!
In the meantime, we discussed the HIRE Act at our first 2010 TaxMama Roundtable this week. About a half dozen tax professionals were there – no civilians. You should be there. You can really get your questions answered in depth. We covered a surprising array of topics, considering the time we had:
- The new HIRE Act
- The Homebuyers credit
- Truck Drivers Tax Home
- Ideas on how to get new clients
- Dealing with banks who want letters you can’t give them – or can you?
- Deductions for school teachers
- Good places to network
- Where to get good, inexpensive CPE
- e-filing tax returns with foreign addresses
Join us next month. They will take place every third Thursday morning.
