Ask TaxMama Issue 611 – Full Hearts

Dear Family,  The stock market has been quite a ride this week. Someone was kind enough to thank me for my wise and useful advice and wanted to know if I could also help him with his septic system. (In other words…in case you missed the sarcasm, he’s saying I’m full of excrement.) Which is […]

Ask TaxMama Issue 610 – Keep Your Fork

Dear Family, The week just seems to fly by when you have interesting and exciting things to do. And we definitely have those around here!   We’ve been working with the folks at NASBA to arrange for continuing education credit for CPAs who take TaxMama’s® courses and the SFV Breakfast roundtable.

Ask TaxMama Issue 603 – Success and Failure

  Dear Family,  You’ve heard the old Chinese (or is it Jewish) curse – may you live in interesting times!   This week, I am.  One of the things I write about in the very first chapter of Small Business Taxes Made Easy is failing because of success. It’s a warning to business-owners to make provisions […]

Ask TaxMama Issue 602 – It Feels like Summer

  Dear Family,  The first bit of news this morning was that Jack Kevorkian has died. What a bold, amazing man he was, campaigning for the right to assisted suicide. Of course, none of the obituaries I’ve seen answer the question that’s on everyone’s mind. Did Jack get an assist?  It’s been a busy week […]

Ask TaxMama Issue 601 Happy Memorial Day Weekend

Dear Family,  This weekend is the Memorial Day Weekend. Speaking with TomBuck earlier this week, he tells me his community goes out to the cemetery to honor all the local war veterans, alive or dead.

Ask TaxMama Issue 598 Happy Mothers Day weekend

Dear Family, Happy Mothers Day weekend. Rather than going to crowded, noisy, over-priced places with bad service on Sunday, consider having everyone go to Mom’s and bring the food and dishes.

Time & Money Saving Devices

When I was poor and working my way though college at night, I got low-paying, part-time jobs, doing bookkeeping, writing by hand, into a journal and ledgers. I worked forty hours a week, had time to get two college degrees. And still had my weekends free.  I owned a house, had savings and a car, free and […]

Ask TaxMama Issue 596 Tax Deadline Approaching

Dear Family,  This morning has been filled with last-minute work, finalizing articles for MarketWatch and the AccountingWeb.com blog, responding to students and clients – and messing with interface for the newsletter (I could scream!) And the time has rushed by.  I need to run out for appointments, so today’s issue will be brief.  We have […]

Ask TaxMama Issue 594 April Fools Day

Dear Family, Happy April Fool’s Day! This morning I read a CNN story about a family with a $54,000 tax refund. The H&R Block office was apparently so surprised that they repeatedly recomputed the tax return to see if there was a mistake. There wasn’t. And this is not an April Fool’s Prank! It turns […]
