Removing Inflation Distortions From The Tax Base – The 1984 Solution
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 was a great achievement and it really did represent a step toward a more rational tax system. But what happened ? As it turns out using the tax code as an instrument of social and economic policy is just too big of a temptation. It seems too much like a free lunch.
Tax Court Judge Emphasizes Magnitude Of Losses In Denying Horse Breeding Deductions
Mitchel and Eric clearly wanted to have a high-quality horse-breeding operation, and they spent generously to demonstrate that they were serious players in the Standardbred universe. But we find little evidence that they conducted this activity in a “businesslike manner,” i.e., in a manner intended to generate a profit.

S Corporation Or LLC ? A Misleading Question That Can Lead To Expensive Mistakes
You can find quite a few articles floating around in which the question under discussion is whether you should use an S Corporation or an LLC for your business. It would be two harsh to say that it is a stupid question. Let’s rather say that it is the wrong question.
Judge Denies Stimulus Payments To Citizen Children With Undocumented Parents
He notes that it is clear that Congress has no constitutional duty to provide all non-citizens with the same benefits it provides to citizens.

They have their programs in place to issue a collection notice two weeks after not receiving a response to the CP 162.
