Philips Erb deals the new IRS voluntary “certification” program in “IRS Announces New Tax Preparer Program To Mixed Reactions” at FORBES.COM.
Kelly acknowledges,
but misinterprets, my objection to the new program as announced. Be sure to see my comment to the post.
* Jason Dinesen
explains “I Can’t Do Much to Help You Once the Transaction Is Completed”. Nor can any tax professional.
He correctly points
out (the highlight is his) –
“Your accountant is not a magician. If you do
something without asking for advice beforehand, and you end up with a big tax
bill, and your accountant says there’s nothing that can be done … your accountant is saying that BECAUSE
IT’S TRUE, NOT BECAUSE HE’S AN IDIOT.”.
Just because you do
not like what your tax pro tells you does not mean that it is wrong. And just because you find someone who agrees with you does not mean that it is right.

THE LAST WORD –
Part 1:
Yesterday morning
while having breakfast at a local diner I came across an excerpt from a review by
Richard Roeper of the latest Adam Sandler movie, which apparently is still in
some theatres, in the Scranton paper.
Here is what RR
said about the movie –
“A clichéd, cynical, occasionally offensive,
pandering, idiotic film that redefines shameless.”
Hey – that describes
just about every Adam Sandler movie!
Part II:
Pamela Anderson is
now 47 – years old, that it.
