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 a new budget – I’ll give you more details on Monday – or perhaps will discuss it on the air with Bob McCormick at KFWB – tune in then – and call us, give us your opinions. We’ll be there from 9-11 KFWB-TaxMama Tax Day Call in Event.
TaxMama’s EA Exam Review Class
Tax pros wanting to sign for TaxMama’s EA Exam Review Course, the discount is now 5%
However, to balance it out…I have raised the discount for Family Members to 15%. And you can use both discounts – to get 20% off the price of the class – but only until April 19th.
IRS will be releasing the new renewal forms for EA for $30 next week!
Answering Your Tax Questions
Your questions are pouring in – and I am delighted to tell you we are answering them all. Remember, post your questions in the TaxQuips Forum – I try to answer everyone early in the morning. If you don’t get an answer right away, be merciful! It’s tax season. We’re working. We WILL answer you. If you want to ensure getting an answer soonest – join the Family!
All the same wonderful people have been answering questions!
We covered SO much ground in the TaxQuips Forum this week. Dealing with Hoarder Houses with help from Tax Nerd David Toelkes, a real estate professional in SC. Mike Emeigh the NC TaxPro, Rita Lewis an Enrolled Agent from CT, and Kris Hix, EA in Kentucky were all busily answering your questions, too. This is while they are deeply immersed in their own client work. I am so grateful to get such good information from such terrific people.
Thanks again to everyone who’s been pitching in and helping out! When tax season is over…you will be getting gifts. Make sure I have your mailing address. Thank you all ever so much!
You will find the highlights of this week’s articles, below, along with this week’s features – IRS News, Money Funnies, AccountingWeb Blog, and more.
Remember, we will be using Twitter more and more often, to get quick notes and updates out to you – www.twitter.com/taxmama . You don’t need to subscribe to Twitter if you’re on Facebook. Just friend me there. The posts will appear there, as well.
More Places to Ask Your Tax Questions!
As you know, I am doing my best to give you opportunities to ask your questions, get answers, or just plain get useful information. I am using every means to reach you and your friends – and to keep you in the loop about changes to tax laws, and to give you information to help you keep your taxes as low as possible. That’s my goal in life – is to keep you safe from taxes, tax predators and tax audits.
You can find lots of information in this week’s articles and interviews.
