I’ll go the other way on the partnership / fiduciary question: fiduciary tax builds on income tax, and IMHO that makes it less useful since one will pick it up quickly enough as one works. Partnership tax, OTOH, can be devilishly complicated and having a decent foundation from law school can save a whole lot of time down the road if one is forced to grapple w/ it.

Thanks for the link-love! That was a fun series to do, and I’m thinking it might be time to do it again. Maybe in January, to catch all those Christmas/Hanukkah present Mac recipients.

I really liked your response to the first taxpayer. Now that I’m out of the practice of law altogether, I often wonder if I regret going. I haven’t actually decided, which I guess means that I don’t regret it, at least not completely. As with many things in life, there was some good, some bad. But getting shouldered with that loan debt — definitely bad.

I’m not sure if you meant “DO let fear stop you” or “DON’T let fear stop you,” but I’d say this: DO let fear give you pause. On many days, I wish I had paused just a little bit longer …
