By now, you may have been contacted by your employer to change your federal and state exemptions. Both because it’s a new year- and because of the tax law that was enacted last year.   Normally, you can follow the instructions that you are provided.  (But NEVER choose 9 or more exemptions- even if you think that makes sense, because that sets off alarms with every tax agency.  I’m not saying you are wrong- I am just saying, why bring on the aggravation.)

Running a business? Then, you know that money you spend for meals – or entertainment- that are business related are not fully deductible. Oh, sure, if you spend $ 100 wining and dining a client, your profits have been reduced by $ 100. Except that’s not how it appears on your Schedule C or Form 1120 or Form 1065. Because only 1/2 of that expense is deductible.

Here, we go. It’s the heart of election season (only because we have made the primary season so long- and have it run right into the national election).   Only, this time, there’s enough talk (but still no action) that maybe we- that’s you and me, folks- can goad our do-nothing Congress into doing something to back up everyone’s polemics.

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.

No, this post has nothing to do with Tina Fey’s new movie. I even considered using a term I learned when I was about 7. the headline on the (then ultraliberal, now ridiculously conservative) New York Post that read ‘SNAFU’. And, when I confronted my dad to define the term for me, there was a great deal of hemming and hawing, until he came up with ‘Situation Normal, All Fouled Up’.
