by TaxMama on September 8, 2010

Honoring Rosh Hashana

Dear Family,

First let me start with an urgent reminder. There are deadlines coming up – all corporate, partnership and estate tax returns are due next week, on September 15th. Estimated tax payments are due, as well.

Note: The office will be closed and please don’t look for answers from TaxMama – until Monday!

Tonight is the beginning of a fresh, clean new year – 5771 on the Jewish calendar.

You will hear people wishing you a healthy and happy new year.

Wishing for peace in the year to come.

That is what I wish for you!

Peace in the world, health, sweetness, love, family, friends, and prosperity.

This one’s for [...]

Ask TaxMama Issue 564 – Lucky 13

August 13, 2010

Dear Family,
Welcome to Friday the 13th.
The days dawns bright and sunny. The squirrels are still quietly asleep before their busy day of frolicking  on their trellis jungle jim and spitting out walnut seed pieces on my car. The birds are twittering quietly, still asleep. Soon, they’ll be up chattering passionately about their latest victory over [...]

Ask TaxMama Issue 563 – Good Choices

August 6, 2010

Dear Family,
Today’s theme was not planned. By coincindence, the very first two stories I researched this morning are about Orthodox Jewish experiences. In case you didn’t know, I was brought up in that community, attending full-time Hebrew or Jewish schools from nursery school all the way back in Hungary to an early admission to Yeshiva [...]

Ask TaxMama Issue 562 – Tax Holidays and More

July 30, 2010

Dear Family,
This has been an interesting week. I got to do some political lobbying and met a passionate woman.

Ask TaxMama Issue 560 – The Advocate Speaks

July 9, 2010

Dear Family,
This morning I started reading the Taxpayers Advocate’s (TAS) report to Congress and completely lost track of time. Does that happen with you, too?  For me, reading is a fully absorbing activity. Books are especially dangerous. Once I sit down with a book, I’m lost. I’ll stay up all night to finish it. In [...]
