It’s Fix the Tax Code Friday! Over at Only3Years, Iz contemplated the question of where she might be a year from now. The more I thought about this, the more I thought that it would make a superb Fix the Tax Code Friday… I’m constantly asked what I think will happen with respect to a…
Earlier today, I wrote this post wherein I more or less insinuated that I believed that Daniel Andersen might be inclined to tout his tax evasion nonsense again, despite being caught and serving time in a California federal prison. A few hours earlier, I had been tweeting away about the signing of Michael Vick with…
Here’s my advice on a Friday morning: if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. No pill will really help you lose 100 pounds without diet or exercise. No executor of a Nigerian estate is really going to send you millions of dollars just for answering an email. No seminar series is…

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has requested the names of more than 50,000 US taxpayers with accounts at UBS. The Swiss bank handed over about 300 names so…
I don’t practice family law. I don’t litigate. I don’t take worker’s compensation settlements. I’m a tax lawyer. I do tax law. And sometimes that means I dip into related areas, but when it gets beyond my area of expertise, I tap into the collective experiences of my colleagues. This makes sense to me. I…
It’s Getting To Know You Tuesday! Today’s featured tax pro is Mary Kay Foss, who I’ve been trying to include for eons but apparently, my server doesn’t like her email. Thankfully, we got past it and we’re onto the interview. 1. Where are you now? At the office staring at my two large monitors 2….
Taxpayer asks: Hi, I heard a car dealer on a radio talk show say that if the consumer owes any federal or state taxes when they buy a C4C car, the dealer is on the hook to get reimbursed by the consumer or eat the difference, because the federal payment will take out the arrearrage…
As you probably know, 2010 is a key election year. In the Senate alone, there at least 36 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate up for grabs – talk about your shift of power! The rhetoric is ramping up already and, as you’d expect, many of the real issues are getting lost….
