Dear Family,
Did you enjoy the Stop Taxing My Patience Contest – from Office Depot and H&R Block?
The questions were so interesting. I love good questions – especially if they are short and challenging. The forum and all the questions will stay up for your benefit. But you can no longer post to it.
Please post your questions in the Ask TaxMama forum – https://taxmama.wpengine.com/forum
I am doing my best to keep up with all your questions. And now, since they are online, the best tax pros in the country can help you too.
All the experts who have been answering questions in the past – and are doing so now – are getting upgraded to the Family Membership ($177 value). And you can include a link to your website, so people can find engage your services, if they are impressed with you.
So, if you’ve always wanted to become proficient at helping people, this is the time to do it. Be sure to research your answers and to provide links to the source of your information. Just posting a flip answer that adds nothing to the discussion will not qualify you for the upgrade. Also, you must use your real name. Usernames just won’t cut it for this deal. We want to know who you are.
Since it’s TaxNerd season, I’ve updated the TaxMama Zazzle Shop, where you can find all kinds of clothes, hats, bags and other goodies to proclaim your TaxNerdieness. Better yet, you can customize all the Tax Nerd goodies with your own name, company name, or witticism. A great way to promote your tax practice, too – for all you proud tax pros. Incidentally, you can customize the TaxMama stuff, too.

Has anything been going on in the news this week?
Let’s see, according to Lynn Freer from Spidell Publishing Inc www.caltax.com , we learn that the COBRA subsidies have been extended another 6 months – to fifteen months. If you were laid off, please check with your employer if you can participate. For details about how the whole COBRA subsidy works, here is some information from last year – https://taxmama.wpengine.com/alert-for-cobra-subsidy-recipients/
A reminder that the Social Security income report you get each year does not include the $250 reimbursement you may have recieved. My clients have been showing me a separate letter from the SSA telling them they are receiving that extra $250 check. If you are on Social Security, VA retirement or disability, or Railroad retirement or disability, and you are not sure if you received the $250 or not – call your agency. Unfortunately, there is no quick look-up online.
This week, TaxMama’s media visits took me to see Jeff Levy, the Digital Doctor
