You, Your CPA, and Getting Out from being Under(funded).
Inarguably, many business professions are challenging their traditional "boundaries" in order to take advantage of technological advances, greater control of their clients' situations, and capitalizing on additional profit and revenue streams by expanding their services. What very much used to be one-stop-shop operations (professions) now involve a number of additional add-on areas that you may or may not need. Should your investment house or bank be selling you insurance? Should your attorney be your realtor? Is there such as thing as having too many of your (nest)eggs in one basket? You bet. [Read More]

SELECTED DISCUSSIONS OF FEDERAL TAX REFORM PANEL RECOMMENDATIONS

President Bush created a bipartisan panel to review reforming the income tax code. It is a widely held belief that the income tax code has become too complicated, and in response to this complication, too many taxpayers must hire tax professionals to prepare income tax forms, and provide consulting services in order for them to save on income taxes. The panel also felt that savings and investment in the United States is lower than most industrialized nations. Thus, it is the panels ultimate goal to make the income tax code simpler, while simultaneously creating impetus for saving and investment. [Read More]

ARE YOU WORKING WITH THE RIGHT CPA?
8 WAYS TO FIND OUT
By Donald S. Paris, CPA, MST
Written for Retirement-Retirement.com

Think about it — most of us wouldn't want a novice handling our legal issues or a medical student performing heart surgery on our loved ones. We would want a specialist, a professional, someone who has a concentrated knowledge of and experience in handling one of the most important aspects of our lives.

It is with similar seriousness that only a specialist should be considered in the case of hiring someone to handle your finances. Someone responsible for something as important as your financial stability and future should understand the complexities of it on multiple levels and be able to provide customized, unique services for a consumer's specific situation.

Financial training for your young adult children (18 to 25)

Basic financial skills are essential to successful adulthood, and many of you have expressed a desire or concern about training your young adult children to be financially literate.

I am delighted to inform you of a web-based product that does this in a unique, enjoyable, and effective way. Although it’s game-based, the content is anything but trivial. Try the MoneyU demo - or better yet, have your kids try it.

Many of you may have noticed that 2006 was a rather remarkable year for charitable giving. Bill Gates and Warren Buffet not only made headlines and records with their largess, but they also initiated a trend in what is sometimes called the "New Philanthropy." Giving isn't new of course, but how we give has changed somewhat remarkably.

As a CPA, I see many mistakes, miscalculations, and missed opportunities made when donating to charity. Therefore, I have expanded DonParis.com to include a section specifically for charitable giving. It now features an article I've written on just this topic, and there will be more soon. So please take a look by clicking here, and don't hesitate to call or e-mail me if you have any specific questions about giving, charities, structuring your gift, or the tax consequences. Thank you."
