Dear Family,
Ah, what a very busy week.
Time flies when you’ve got so much to fill it.
It’s my mother’s birthday this weekend and
we’re taking her out. Naturally, she no longer
counts the years and doesn’t want a celebration.
But…
She’s finally, essentially retired and has
little to do to fill her days. So, I wasn’t
quite sure how to answer her when she asked me,
“Why don’t you pick out a movie or a play?
Why should I do it?”
Of course, the respectful answer, which I gave,
was – we want to do something YOU enjoy. So
you pick out something to make you happy.
And I’m thinking – Hey, Sweetheart! I am sitting
here working from 4:30 am – often until midnight.
And you’re sitting there bored out of your mind.
Wouldn’t you relish the opportunity for something
to do? Like to find some entertainment?
But we must never say things like that to people
we love.
Neither did the mother in this week’s Money Funnies.
She just let her husband go shopping while she was ill.
TaxQuips has lots of good questions this week.
And links to some very interesting research.
will appeal to the real TaxNerd in you.
It’s the release of their latest Statistics.
Speaking of statistics, the Taxpayer Advocate’s
annual report to Congress is full of statistics
and charts. This week, I stumbled across a
reference in last year’s Advocacy Report to
Congress – about TaxMama.com !
(Look at page 655 of the report, or page 20 of the
PDF file of Section Four. What a kick!)
The Advocate noted that many of you got active
and sent in your concerns about the way IRS is
handling tax collections of balances due from
divorced couples. Well done, friends!
Because you came through, the Taxpayers Advocate’s
office not only took the issue seriously, they
brought up the topic to Congress. See, all it
takes a good letter-writing campaign in the right
places.
Oh, you’re going to love this weekend’s
MarketWatch.com column. I found this really
interesting site that helps folks get business
licenses. And what they do for the average person,
aside from just businesses, is really quite fun!
So keep an eye out for this weekend’s TaxWatch
column.
Have a less taxing weekend.
Hugs from your favorite TaxNerd,
Eva Rosenberg, EA
