This week, the IRS announces new limits on a variety of things for 2013. That’s the entire content of this week’s IRS news features:
In IRS News we get the new limits on a variety of benefits for 2013 – with more to come in the IRS’s announcement on November 5th. The IRS also provides in-depth detail about the 2013 pension plan limits. There are so many, you’ll want to go to the TaxMama site to find them all.
Now you need a good laugh. So in this week’s Money Funnies, we show you a very clever, (shall we say, conniving) senior. You can learn from this. A great way to eliminate argument and stress. (for someone)
This week’s Equifax Blog describes what you can deduct when you move across the country…or at least 50 miles away.
If you want to see all the TaxQuips from earlier in the week, drop by here. There are some interesting topics.
