Dear Family,
Recently, I asked you for your ideas on how to help your neighbors, local schools or schoolchildren, unemployed folks in your community or industry, seniors, those with disabilities. Thank you for your ideas and responses! Well, we’ve gotten the ball rolling at MarketWatch.com.
If you want to continue to provide ideas, I’ve set up a special e-mail address just for this project.
positive.community@gmail.com – please send your ideas to THAT address only.
Already this morning, lots of ideas are pouring in from
In the course of addressing the concept of people helping each other, and this presidential campaign where the candidates talk of pushing the tax burden on the very rich, the top few % of the population – there’s a great deal of criticism or sarcasm. Marx’s concept of ‘FROM each according to his ability; TO each according to his need’ which was so brilliantly, and scornfully exposed in most of Ayn Rand’s novels doesn’t hold true in today’s economy.
Rather than continuing this conversation here, I’ve moved it all right here: https://taxquips.com/index.php?id=1015 That way you can avoid reading it entirely. OR…read it and add your own comments. Incidentally, you’ll find links to all the references in the article’s Resource Box, below.

Incidentally, October is National Disability Month. The IRS and its partners are using the occasion to promote awareness and education, tax preparation assistance and financial assistance for individuals with disabilities by spotlighting the IRS’s new website – Disability Information for Individuals, Businesses, and Partners Providing Services. It’s a terrific resource.

TaxQuips this week contains some fascinating discussion from the Tax Pros! There’s information in there you may not find anywhere. I certainly learned about new concepts. (Read the notes below, too.) We covered homeowners associations, nasty divorces and bargaining chips, what happens to your SEP contribution if you file your tax return after the extension deadline, and how do we handle care givers compensation – which will be affecting more and more people as Baby Boomers age.
