Check out the January issue of LOIS.
+ This week’s TAX TIP installment at
MAINSTREET.COM (by me) is “What’s New for the 2011 Form 1040?”.

Go to the MISSOURI TAXGUY blog and look for my Robert F page at the “Store”.
+
Many states are no longer mailing out Form 1099-G to refund recipients. You have to go online and download a
copy. The MISSOURI TAXGUY tells us this
is the case in his home state in “The Missouri 1099-G in 2012”.
This
is also true for New Jersey and New York.
Click here to download a Form 1099-G for New Jersey. The NY online system is not available yet.

Speaking of NJCHANNEL NINE reports on the governor’s State of the State Address
and tells us “Christie Calls For 10 Percent Income Tax Cut”.
+
Elsewhere, according to the WASHINGTON POST, “Governor O’Malley’s Budget Raises Taxes on Maryland’s High-Earners”.

Although Trish referenced this correction in a comment, I thought I would
provide it here as well – “RAL Bounce – Edited”.

Howard Gleckman reminds us that “Congress Is Back, And So Are Its Battles Over Tax And Budget Policy” in BUSINESS IN THE BELTWAY over at Forbes.com.
“The least popular Congress in memory is
back. I, personally, am thrilled.
After a year in which
lawmakers did almost nothing besides (barely) keeping the government running,
this session promises hardly more. Tax
policy will be at the center of much of the partisan squabbling, but it is hard
to imagine Congress achieving more than a temporary truce in its ongoing battle
over last year’s unfinished business.”

Joe Kristan introduces us to a new Iowa-based tax blog in “A New Tax Blog Right Here in Town”. It is the Davis Brown Law
Firm’s UPDATES AND ANALYSIS OF TAX LAW.
+
EFILE.COM has a table listing “State Tax Filing Deadlines - Due Dates for State Income Tax Returns and Tax Extensions”.
+
The “Tax Tidbit on Deducting Meals” that Kimberly Kislak posts at KISLAK TAX
& NOTARY SERVICE’S BLOG involves the standard meal and snack rates for 2011
and 2012 for day care providers.

Don’t forget to check out my TAXPRO BUZZ over at THE TAX PROFESSIONAL.
THE
FINAL WORD
Henry
and Richard’s advertising slogan – “Don’t Settle For Less” – is confusing. It is as if they are telling you not to go to
H+R Block to prepare your tax return.
H+R will certainly provide less service, less quality, and less value
for your buck. The only thing that will
not be “less” is the cost. Maybe that is
what they mean.
