Stein’s political beliefs generally tilt towards the […]
Earlier today, I blogged the story of my former law professor’s expulsion from the GOP in Delaware. I followed up via email with Professor Ting, who graciously agreed to answer a series of questions about the fiasco - and his quick views on the candidates and tax reform - despite the fact that he’s […]

And if I weren’t doing tax, ummmm…
I’d either be running some kind of nonprofit organization that does grass roots neighborhood improvements - or I’d own a winery!

Taxpayer asks:
Why did you become a tax attorney?
Taxgirl says:
Wow, this is not a short answer - but hey, it’s late/early - it’s the Blog Off and I have time.
When I went to law school, I vowed never to take tax. It just felt boring.
