I remember at the end of April 2019 that I felt like it had been one of the wildest tax seasons in memory. The TCJA ("Trump Tax Code") had thrown a ton of curveballs our way, and we were looking forward to implementing tax planning strategies for our Cleveland clients...

I hope you're hanging in there. We're LOCKED in, helping our Cleveland clients, and I have a bunch of things to share with you today, based on recent activity.I will say that, between helping clients, and the astonishing rapidity of change, I'm not always able to put...

The clock is really ticking now on 2020.But before you celebrate, please -- for the love of Pete -- make SURE that you are getting whatever needs doing done NOW that might affect this year's taxes. I've been banging this drum the last couple weeks, but I know how...

This is the time of year when we are normally opening up to file returns on behalf of Cleveland clients, and taking a breath of "calm before the storm".Not this year though. Not only is actual tax filing delayed until February 12, but Congress made their end-of-year...

Still no guidance from the IRS about the payroll tax "holiday" (deferral), so it's extremely unlikely that your Cleveland employer will be ready -- simply because the major payroll companies (Paychex, ADP, Gusto, and many others) don't have the answers to many...

We're almost done with 2019, cue the fireworks. It's been a tough year for many (including some of our clients), and you might be eagerly looking forward to that calendar change.Shoot, we're about to set forth into an entirely new DECADE. It's as good a time as any to...

Right now, it's almost impossible to escape the conflict, the noise, and the shaming over various cultural decisions we're having to make. Lockdowns, schooling, more economic stimulus, elections, vaccines -- it's all enough to drive you crazy if you pay close...

You might have seen the news that Congress has agreed on the massive new stimulus bill, called the CARES Act.As of this writing, the stimulus bill is NOT YET SIGNED. But it is getting very close.And it might help you VERY much, depending on your situation.I will have...
