Ask the taxgirl: “Fall Can’t Come Fast Enough” Edition

19 September 2010

Me, me, me. It’s all about me.

11 February 2010

Taxpayer asks: Hi Kelly, I saw you speak at BlogHer in San Francisco and was hoping I’d see you again this year in Chicago. Since I didn’t see you, I thought I’d email you a question. I just wanted to know if you had any updates to your handout from the BlogHer seminar about deductions [...]

10 February 2010

Taxpayer asks: I read your post about Mary Kay and I am still confused about hobbies. I own a bunch of blogs. I make money on some of them and I lose money on some of them. Does this make me a hobby? Taxgirl says: You’re right to be a little confused because this is [...]

It’s a snowy Wednesday here in Philly – we’re expecting over a foot by the end of the night. This comes hot on the heels of the snowstorm from this weekend. I know there’s some whining and moaning about it but I’ll go on record as saying that I love it. As a girl from [...]

My daughter was invited to a birthday party today where she expected to swim – only the kids decided to go play a little wiffle ball first. For six and seven year olds, some of them were pretty hardcore ballplayers, even wearing their softball outfits to the park. Katie, standing in her glittery Hello Kitty [...]
