Right now we're living through an age in which media trust has been thoroughly decimated. "Expert" authority itself is being questioned (in many cases, rightly), and misinformation is rampant.That's perhaps one of the reasons I've received so many visits to this...

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...

However you slice it, the schooling situation right now is tough, with no good options.If you are vehemently in favor of full-on school ... well, compassion would dictate that you would recognize that others are having more difficulty with that, for caution's sake or...

Taking a look around the world these days, and where things seem to be headed...But our heads are high here at Hinckley Tax Service because we worked our tails off for our Cleveland clients this year. We helped a bunch of people save a ton on their taxes -- with...

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...

With national events continuing as they are, here at Hinckley Tax Service, we're finding ourselves locking into "go mode" ... again. It's unusual for us to be in this mode smack in the middle of June, but this year has not been ... usual. This is because the tax...

Based on the history of events over the course of the last few decades (both here in Cleveland and beyond), you might have thought that world events would have slowed down in the last week -- that there could begin to be some sense of normality.But no. This isn't a...

All over our nation, we're seeing pain.It's overwhelming, as someone who has to communicate to a broad base of Cleveland clients, to even articulate meaningful words about everything that is happening.So ... I'm just doing what I can to sit in the pain of it all with...
