WHAT’S THE BUZZ, TELL ME WHAT’S A HAPPENNIN’ - TUESDAY EDITION

“Tax complexity itself is a kind of tax.” – Max Baucus

I trust you had a “successful” Labor Day week-end.  I finished a GD extension.  Not too much BUZZ this installment due to the holiday.

* Have you seen my items “The Big O” and “When to Contact Your Tax Pro” at MAINSTREET.COM yet?  Why not?

 

I also have an update on same-sex marriage issues that should appear in the Tax Center later today (Tuesday).

* Check out my new monthly online “magazine” THE LAKE REGION SOMETHING.  It has a couple of items on income taxes.

If you like it let me know, and tell all of your friends.

* Over at FIVE CENT NICKEL William Cowie deals in depth with the question “Is a Timeshare a Good Investment?”

His answer – “In a word, no.”

* BEYOND 415 lists “Six Myths That Lead to Worker Misclassification”.
