The First Angry Tax Blogger
It dawned on me that we tax bloggers cultivate personas. Even if what we say about ourselves is strictly true, the process of selection makes each of us a self created literary character. But has this new literary form created a full blown character equivalent to fictional doctors like Sam Abelman ? It has.
April 15 What To Do If You Don’t Have The Dough
A joint return creates joint and several liability, which means that they can collect the entire balance due from either spouse. If you are not paying your balance due timely, you are entering into a different world where the amount of the tax may turn out to be of merely academic interest. Collections is all about ability to pay.
Keeping The 99% Out Is Not Promoting Social Welfare
Actually there are lots of these gated communities and I can see the attraction that they have. You can also mount a social criticism that as people create enclaves of security with private recreational facilities the infrastructure for the 99% might be left to crumble. Regardless of the merits of gated communities apparently the Service does not believe that keeping people out of your space is a community service:
Megachurch Denied Property Tax Exemption For Gym And Bookstore/Cafe
The purpose of the State’s taxation laws clearly are not to interfere with or suppress religious practice. Neither the tax laws or the statutorily defined exemptions discriminate against any particular religion or prohibit or impede any particular practice. They are neutrally applied without regard for religious doctrine or belief. They do not compel CCP to violate or abandon any particular belief, or prevent CCP from any practice.
GLAD Alerts Same Sex Couples To Act Quickly To Preserve Refund Rights
Fortunately, GLAD (Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders) has provided some material to make the process a little easier. Pay particular attention to the link to “Tax Time and Preserving Your Federal Rights”.
Wesley Snipes Raises Creationist Hopes For Kent Hovind
We, Creation Science Hall of Fame, began to see the reality of Kent trying to fight his way out of jail without success. We saw a valuable asset to the Creation Community that was wasting away in jail. Lord knows that the “good fight” is tough enough. But having one of our most valuable assets in jail doesn’t help our cause.
Wesley Snipes Almost Out – Kent Hovind Remains In Prison
I would also argue that Eric’s compliance pretty well refutes the charge that the IRS was persecuting Kent Hovind for his creation science message. 46% of Americans believe that God created humans pretty much as they are now less than 10,000 years ago. Likely more than a couple of those people work for the IRS.
Sex And The Single Transcendentalist – An Evening With Megan Marshall
I was hoping that Ms. Marshall would be able to point me to a study possibly a multiple career line biography (a prospography) of the women who participated in the Conversations. Sadly that is a book yet to be written, although she agreed that it deserves to be.
Lawyers Unite To Keep Dark Money Dark
The result was a slew of stories like this one in the Daily Beast titled Mitt Romney Secretly Supported Anti-Gay Marriage Group. In my mind it was not much of a secret or much of a story for that matter. Even though the report of the money going into NOM was not public record, the money going out of the Romney PAC ($10,000) was public record. A Romney PAC spending ten grand opposing same sex marriage shocking, shocking.
Taxpayer Beats Idaho On Domicile But Loses On Community Property
It turns out that Washington treats spousal earnings as separate property when a couple is living apart, but only if the separation is due to marital discord, which was not present in this case. All in for three years, Idaho ended up getting a little over $13,000 from Martha rather than the approximately $30,000, they were hoping to get from George.
