Tax history, trivia, and the lighter side of the tax world — because even tax law can be entertaining sometimes.
Wow, in just about 12 hours (a little over), I’ll be crawling into a cab (before 5am, anyone would be crawling) to head out to San Francisco to speak at BlogHer. I am ridiculously excited for a zillion reasons, not the least of which is that I hear that the high in San Francisco is…
I sort of took yesterday off… to be interviewed for an upcoming documentary on taxes. I met with the crew of An Inconvenient Tax at my home on yesterday to talk tax. It was great meeting the guys behind the film. They posted a quick excerpt about filming me on their blog. Hmm. I had…
I’ve already reported that tax professionals received a benefit from the stimulus package with more taxpayers than ever rushing to file.

I started running again this spring – I haven’t really run since law school (gosh, that’s getting further and further away). For my first big event, I’m training for the Philadelphia Marathon’s Rothman Institute 8k – it’s in November and it is a great event for me to work towards. It’s a daunting challenge but…
Okay, so it’s not quite summer yet. But it sure feels like it in Philadelphia – we’ve hovered near the 100 degree mark for three or four days in a row. The heat and humidity is beginning to make me wish fondly for coastal NC summers (and if you’ve been to coastal NC in the…
Okay, we’ve established that it’s illegal. And yes, more than a little bit tacky. But now I’m curious… Which celebrities and sports stars would you snoop on if you could peek at their tax records? And why?
