In my January 3^rd post “The Future of Wandering Tax Pro” I explained –
 
“Going forward THE WANDERING TAX PRO posts will be limited to a more detailed and comprehensive weekly WHAT’S THE BUZZ installment and commentary on income tax related issues and developments.
 
I will be providing more detailed and comprehensive income tax planning and preparation advice and information, and sharing resources on federal income taxes, via a monthly print newsletter titled ROBERT D FLACH’S THE 1040 LETTER.
 
The premiere January 2023 issue of this newsletter is available for review free by clicking here.”
 
The February 2023 issue of ROBERT D FLACH’S THE 1040 LETTER, the first issue of the paid subscription, will cover in detail the following topics -
 
* CONGRESS PASSES SECURE 2.0
* 2023 STANDARD MILEAGE ALLOWANCE RATES

ROBERT D FLACH'S 1040 INSIGHTS

I write a newsletter, published 5 times a year - May, July, September, November, and January, titled ROBERT D FLACH’S 1040 INSIGHTS.  This newsletter shares in detail my insights on tax deductions, credits, strategies, and issues based on my 45 years in “the business”.

 

This newsletter is not written for the “wealthy” – but for the average middle to upper-middle class taxpayer.

 

The September 2017 issue, currently being “proofed”, deals with the “Just About Everything You Always Wanted to Know About an IRA”, including how an IRA contribution can be partially “reimbursed” by the government via the Saver’s Credit and how a deductible IRA contribution can affect the Premium Tax Credit, and explains what I think tax reform should look like.

 

The July 2017 issue discussed medical deductions in detail, and also discussed keeping track of investment cost basis, forming an LLC, and some tax-related “nevers”.

 

The May 2017 premiere issue covered deducting charitable contributions, taking a tax-deductible vacation, how long to keep tax records, and when to contact your tax preparer.

 

A one-year subscription to ROBERT D FLACH'S 1040 INSIGHTS is normally only $11.95 delivered as a pdf email attachment.  A print edition sent via postal mail is available for only $17.95. 

 

But as a special offer – if your subscription order is postmarked by August 31^st you can subscribe to this newsletter for only $7.75 or $11.65 – a 35% discount!  Your subscription will include the May and July 2017 issues, but will run through July 2018.

 

One tip from an issue could return the cost of a subscription many times over.

I am currently working on the October 2016 issue of my bi-monthly (published every-other month) subscription newsletter ROBERT D FLACH’S THE SCHEDULE C LETTER, written, as the title suggests, for self-employed sole proprietors who report income and expenses on Form 1040 Schedule C.

THE NJ-1040 LETTER

 

You are paying too much New Jersey state income tax – and it’s nobody’s fault but your own!

 

Most NJ taxpayers concentrate on their federal tax return and spend minimal time on their NJ return, simply taking numbers from the 1040 and putting them on the NJ-1040.  As a result they are paying more NJ state tax than necessary, often paying tax on income that is not even taxed by NJ.

 

By becoming informed on NJ state tax law and using proper tax planning you can make sure that you pay the absolute least amount of NJ Gross Income Tax possible for your particular situation.

 

I have been preparing NJ-1040s for as long as there has been a NJ-1040, and federal income tax returns for even longer.  I have created a new newsletter titled THE NJ-1040 LETTER to share my knowledge and experience from over 40 years as a professional tax preparer to help you experience the joy of avoiding NJ state taxes.

 

Published 6 times a year (January, February, March, April, July, and October), each issue will contain valuable NJ state tax-saving advice and information, updates on NJ state tax law, NJDOT rules and regulations, court cases, and the special NJ property tax relief programs, and links to online resources to help you in planning for an preparing your NJ-1040.  Also included in each issue will be special forms, schedules, and worksheets to help you during the year and at tax time.

 

This is the only publication that I am aware of that deals exclusively with tax planning and preparation advice for the NJ-1040.

 

A one-year subscription to THE NJ-1040 LETTER delivered as a pdf email attachment is only $11.95.  A print edition sent via postal mail is also available for $24.95. 

 

Subscribers will be offered special discounts on other tax-saving reports throughout the year.

 

You can download a free copy of the premiere July 2016 issue by clicking here.

 

To order your subscription send your check or money order, payable to TAXES AND ACCOUNTING, INC, for $11.95 or $24.95 and your email or postal address to –

TWO NEW NEWSLETTERS!

Let me introduce two new monthly online newsletters – one free and one not free.

The free one is ROBERT D FLACH’S THE 1040 LETTER – with valuable tax planning and preparation advice, information, and resources.  It is a “companion” to THE WANDERING TAX PRO.

Click here to read the premiere issue.

The second newsletter is really not about taxes, although it will contain at least one article on taxes each monthly issue.  It is titled BOBSERVATIONS.

As I say in the “masthead”, this newsletter contains “Observations on life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”.  I will discuss, but not exclusively, popular culture (theatre, tv, movies, and the internet), personal finance (and, yes, taxes), politics, and travel.

A one year subscription to BOBSERVATIONS is only $9.95.  Premiere subscribers will also receive as a free gift my e-book WON’T YOU TAKE THIS ADVICE I HAND YOU LIKE A BROTHER – a compilation of my best tax advice from 45 years of preparing 1040s that currently costs $7.95.  And premiere subscribers will also receive a special 10% discount on the purchase of any of my other books, reports, and compilations.

The monthly issues of BOBSERVATIONS and WON’T YOU TAKE THIS ADVICE I HAND YOU AS A BROTHER will be delivered to subscribers as a pdf email attachment.

Click here to download a free sample of the premiere issue of BOBSERVATIONS.  An order form is included in the issue.

As with all my writings and publications – your thoughts, comments, and suggestions are welcomed and solicited.

Enjoy!
