* I have always advised clients and readers to think carefully before deciding to go into business with family members. The results can be disastrous.

* Bruce, the tax guy from Missouri, discusses “Misconceptions Business Owners Have About Their Returns”.
* It looks like good news from the IRS regarding the e-file mandate. Joe Kristan has read the proposed regulations and concludes that it contains “A Loophole Big Enough to Drive Robert D Flach Through”!
From Joe’s “mouth” to the IRS’ “ears”!
* YAHOO NEWS brought us the word –
“Veteran Rep. Charles Rangel, the raspy-voiced, backslapping former chairman of one of Congress' most powerful committees, was censured by his House colleagues for financial misconduct Thursday in a solemn moment of humiliation in the sunset of his career.
After the 333-79 vote, the Democrat from New York's Harlem stood at the front of the House and faced Speaker Nancy Pelosi as she read him the formal resolution of censure.”
Chuck breaks the law and has to stand up in front of the class while the teacher says he was a bad boy.
The message to America – If you attempt to defraud the government and cheat on your taxes you can go to jail, even if you are a television (idiot Richard Hatch) or movie (Wesley Snipes) star. The only people who are exempt from punishment and penalty are members of Congress.
So if you are thinking about cheating on your taxes you should run for Congress first – or maybe try to get appointed as Secretary of the Treasury
* Over at TAX GIRL Kelly Phillips Erb’s question for Fix the Tax Code Friday is “How Rich is Rich?”.
* Beancounter Donna Bordeaux rambles on with some good guidance on “Independent Contractors – How to Classify Workers”.
* CNN.MONEY tells us that “Tax Squabbling Earns Congress Failing Grade”. The article makes one very important point (highlight is mine) -
“Nearly all the big tax issues that were on the docket at the start of the year are still on the docket.”
These idiots have had a full year to act! They deserve more than just a failing grade. They should be expelled – especially the individual party leaders!

Thank you for mentioning me.
