Tax Trivia: Popular Questions

Kelly Phillips ErbMarch 13, 2009May 14, 2020

We have a winner! See comments!

Our next tax trivia question is:

In 2008, the most popular topic for both “ask the taxgirl” and search terms on my blog was the tax rebate/stimulus check. What was second (you must be specific)?

Don’t forget: the first correct answer wins free CCH tax prep software.

What’s your guess?

    Was it a tax protestor thing — people asking whether or not we really have to pay income taxes?

      Steve C., I’ll take it! Mostly, questions come on the independent contractor side – folks wonder why they receive a 1099 when they thought they wouldn’t be reported. But that makes your our winner!
