* From FORBES.COM’s TaxGirl Kelly Phillips Erb - “Taxpayer Advocate: You Literally Need A Map To Navigate Our Tax System (So They MadeOne)” -
“The map highlights the complexity of tax
administration, with its many connections, overlaps, and repetitions between
stages.”
* Fellow tax pros – have you seen the July issue of THE TAX PROFESSIONAL yet?
* The IRS has issued a draft copy of a new Form 1040-SR for senior taxpayers. Hey, it is
bigger than a postcard.
* And we return to Kelly Phillips Erb, who borrows a
lyric from Peter Allen to tell us about another new Form 1040 – the 2019 draft
version - in “Everything Old Is New Again As IRS Releases Form 1040 Draft”.
The new 2019 Form 1040 is the same as the previously
mentioned Form 1040-SR without the large print and the Standard Deduction
Chart.
The 2018 “postcard” Form 1040, actually bigger than a
real postcard, was the stupidest thing I have seen in my 47+ years in the
business. This new 2019, instead of
being half a full 8½ x 11 sheet, as Kelly points out “takes up just 2/3 of
the page”. However, it does to some
degree bring back the logical flow of the old, far “more better”, Form
1040. There are still 6 additional
schedules to supplement the Form, with some minor changes to the content but
not the size for 2019.
One item on the 1040 is noticeably missing – the box
to check for “full-year health coverage or exempt”. Since the Obamacare “shared responsibility”
penalty for 2019 and beyond is “0” the IRS no longer needs to know if you had
proper coverage.
THE LAST WORD
Trump is many things – ignorant, incompetent, a liar,
a narcissist – but one this he is NOT is a Conservative.

Trump is also obviously not a Christian.
Anyone claiming to be a Conservative or a Christian
who supports and defends Trump, the Trump Presidency and Trump’s re-election is
NOT a Conservative or a Christian.
