Did Not Want To Split Tax Refund With Divorcing Spouse, Loses It All
Another observation I have is that of the preparer and electronic filing. Back in the day, the preparer gave the return to the couple or one of the couple or mailed it to their address and it was up to each of them to sign it. Absent forgery or coercion, it was pretty clear that they had each consented. Now it is the preparer pressing a button that signifies consent to the IRS. Many preparers need to step up their act when it comes to recognizing that with joint returns they really have two clients.
Tax Reform Might Come, Let’s Wait And See
Comprehensive tax reform and simplification is a fantastic idea. We here at the ABC Coalition for DEF just love the idea that you are working on it and totally support you. Of course we are sure that you know the DEF is critical to the American way of life and the health, safety and well-being of the world. We would just like to remind you that the GHI deduction and the JKL credit play a critical role in supporting DEF. So when you are doing your simplifying don’t even think about messing with the GHI deduction and the JKL credit. As a matter of fact, you probably should beef them up a bit and get busy on the MNO exemption that we have been asking for. Other than that, chop away at those special tax breaks and give us a simpler Code

To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
