Sunday Mailbag: The Edition Where I Talk About Tax Pros

22 January 2012

I had a great time on Friday with our “Ask the taxgirl LIVE” segment. I know there wasn’t a lot of notice about it and yes, I heard about it (thanks for your emails and messages). This was my first time live blogging on Forbes and we had some technical pieces to work out. That [...]

Sunday Mailbag: The Edition Where I Pretend to Know About Tech Stuff

17 July 2011

I opened up my calendar this morning and had to switch from the month view to the week view because all of my appointments were overlapping into some kind of freaky Ven diagram. My summer (which I thought would be slow) has been a whirlwind of activity, from client meetings to chauffeuring to and from [...]

Ron Cohen Presents on Google and the “Dutch Sandwich”

20 March 2011

Ron Cohen of Greenstein, Rogoff, Olsen & Co., sent me this video of their weekly tax update focusing on “Dutch Sandwich” or “Double Irish” offshore planning. Offshore planning is something I’m familiar with – and I’ve been blogging about quite a bit – so I thought it made sense to share it on taxgirl.com. Enjoy.

You Can’t Check “Prepared by Google” on Your Return

29 September 2009

Admit it, you Google for tax advice. You might have even Googled to find me (Google seems to like me now that they no longer think I’m a porn site). But you can take Google too far… Just ask Kenneth and Trudi Woodard. The Woodards filed a joint federal income tax return for the 2004 [...]

Fix the Tax Code Friday: Tax Breaks for Investments

5 June 2009

It’s Fix the Tax Code Friday! Yesterday, I blogged about NC’s efforts to woo Apple and Google to the Tarheel state by passing corporate tax breaks directed at each of them. This is nothing new. In my own state of Pennsylvania, a new film tax credit is being touted in an effort to bring more [...]

NC Woos Apple With Promises of Tax Breaks

4 June 2009

In a tough economy – when a state can’t yet pay its bills – you’d think the fiscal plan for the future would be conservative. Not so, North Carolina. Despite massive budget woes, the state legislature has agreed to special tax breaks designed to bring Apple to the Tarheel State. Apple, the company that makes [...]

A Note About Spam

3 June 2009

Earlier in the week, I received an email about spam and I just wanted to take a moment or two to re-emphasize my thoughts on spam and your privacy. Like most bloggers, I use a service to send out feeds via RSS and email. The most popular service is Feedburner, which is what I use [...]

And So It Goes…

26 January 2009

Google/Feedburner/thorn in my side swears that everything is working fine now. However, the feed count still continues to drop. So, can I ask you a favor? If you normally subscribe to taxgirl via RSS, please make sure that you’re feeding to http://www.taxgirl.com/feed – you can also click on the little icon to the right. If [...]

Dropped Like a Hot Potato

26 January 2009

I have been made aware of the fact that several thousand subscribers were dropped from taxgirl’s feed over the weekend. Please understand that I am crazy upset over this. I believe that it’s related to the Google “take over” of Feedburner that I mentioned before. I’m validating feeds and otherwise doing all that I can [...]
