Tax Guru – Ker$tetter Letter

This really isn’t much different than people who spend money just to get a tax deduction.

Every year at this time, as the nation turns its focus towards “Tax Day,” IRS issues a series of warnings about how dangerous it would be to not follow the rules properly, such as the following.

IRS, Justice Department Note Increase in Tax Enforcement

IRS Warns Businesses, Individuals to Watch for Questionable Employment Tax Practices

Treasury and IRS Issue Guidance on S Corporation, Tax Exempt Entity Transaction

IRS, Justice Dept. Promise Vigilance in Tax Enforcement

Let Seniors Get Off the Sinking Medicare Ship

Private Investment Protects Environment Where Government Fails – Something I’ve always known. Privately owned property is better maintained than what is owned by the government. This is 180 degrees off from what the environmental extremists (Sierra Club, GreenPeace, et al) and their media allies, want us to believe. Their very explicit agenda is to ban private ownership of property entirely, which was also a plank in a certain well known manifesto from 1848.

Making Life’s End a ‘Good Death’ – Some good info, with handy links, on living wills (which are not the same thing as living trusts, as many people think).

Treasury to Probe Kerry Tax Analysts – This is a completely bogus “scandal.” The media are free to publicize and promote John Kerry’s lies as gospel, and it’s somehow wrong for the Treasury Department to look at the actual figures.

In Pig Book, lawmakers go hog wild – Where the drunken sailors’ wild spending is documented. In defense of sailors everywhere, the big difference between them and our rulers in DC is that the sailors spend their own money when they become inebriated, while our rulers are spending our money in all states of sobriety.

John Kerry and Corporate Income Taxes

Stock spammers get rich quick – Anyone stupid enough to buy stocks based on some secret inside info they received in an email is probably also buying real estate on the moon and naming stars; other brilliant investments for morons.

I’ve posted more details on how our tax return organizers function that should hopefully clear up some of the confusion.

Who pays the taxes? – The trend continues of having fewer and fewer people (the evilest rich) pay a larger and larger share of the overall tax burden.

Americans are too optimistic about retirement, study finds – That’s especially true for anyone under 50 who believes Social Security and MediCare will be covering their retirement costs.

Tax Freedom Day Comes on April 11 in 2004, Earliest Since 1967 – Thanks to the Bush tax cuts.

Tax-Law Complexities Benefit Preparers, Software Cos. – There is no profession with more job security than the tax business. Our best allies are our rules in DC, who make more work for us very time they try to fix the tax code.
