Monday, January 31, 2011. Judge Judy and Tax Law Part II. About ten days ago, in Judge Judy and Tax Law. I wonder what sort of impact on the viewers this episode has made. Has it taught people that it doesn’t pay to commit tax fraud, that the improper filing might be identified even if it is not the IRS that discovers it, that con artists specializing in tax fraud are popping up all over the place, and that one should check out the credentials and experience of a prospective tax return preparer? Fourth, ...

Sunday, October 31, 2010. Happy Halloween: Revenue Department Scares Kids Into Abandoning Pumpkin Sales. It’s a frightening time of the year. Actually, considering how frightening the world has become for the rest of the year, let’s say that it is an even more. Frightening time of the year. And what could be more frightening than employees of a state revenue department descending on two children, both under the age of 7, and shutting down their pumpkin-selling fund-raising efforts? Could, perhaps, their ...

Friday, July 31, 2015. Another Problem with Targeted Tax Credits. It was no surprise to me that a study demonstrated the return to a state for each dollar of tax giveaway was less than a dollar, and in some cases way less than the dollar. Now comes a report. Posted by James Edward Maule @ 8:01 AM. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Changing the Look of Tax Forms. A reader pointed me in the direction of a three-year-old paper. So why not do this for a tax return?

Friday, February 27, 2009. Tax Policy: It's OK for Us But Not For You. Apparently when it comes to tax policy, certain things are acceptable if they're done by one group but not by another. In his reply to the President's economic speech on Tuesday, Governor Jindal of Louisiana, explained to the nation. That is precisely what the Democrats in Congress just did. It's irresponsible. And it's no way to strengthen our economy, create jobs, or build a prosperous future for our children. Is it not possible tha...

Monday, November 29, 2004. Tax Meets Technology on the Road. So what does it mean when a person who favors GPS-based highway per-mile taxes (user fees? Is appointed as Director of the Department of Motor Vehicles in the country's most car-dependent and perhaps car-loving state? Similar proposals have been made in the United Kingdom. Read on, because this is an idea that could get hot quickly, in a lot of places. How does it work? The technology would permit that to occur. Would the legislature do tha...

Don’t Forget to Say Thank-You. What I do remember is that, with the exception of 2008, a Thanksgiving post has appeared in this blog each year as Thanksgiving showed up yet again on the calendar. I do not remember what happened in 2008. Nor have I tried to figure out what happened. Beginning in 2004, with Giving Thanks. I have presen...
