Form 1040 “New for 2009, Filing”

color and form            Well the IRS has released its “draft” of the 2009 Form 1040. Clicking the photo on the right will take you in a new window so you can see it if you like. 

The only change in the “Income” section is line 19. It is still for “Unemployment compensation”, but they added the phrase “. . . in excess of $2,400 per recipient (see page 27)” This is done so that those who are not aware (and prepare their own returns) that this is something new. If you need clarification, please visit Unemployment Compensation at the IRS site for Tax Changes for Individuals

Welcome to the new site address. .

            Welcome to my new site for this blog. As you can see I have changed it around a bit. Okay a lot. 

            Reason for the change is, well, not sure. Basically just decided the place needed remodeled. That is what has been taking so long. Locating a theme and then tweaking it to something that is enjoyable on the eyes and easy to move around in. 

            I don’t have all the bugs worked out of a few things so if you experience problems please let me know.

From one to the other to here

So I went from a Word press blog at wordpress.com. to a wordpress blog atached to my site www.lrtaxprep.com, to having my own address. I think I have landed my blog.

 

This is a test post.

A little Professionalism, if you please.

          Earlier this past week I noticed a post(1) from a blogging colleague. I mention this as although his said intentions were set and designed to inform taxpayers, I found not only a few things wrong with the post, but also felt like the post was an attack. The attack was not to just a good blogging friend and colleague, but to other such professionals as well. Moreover, I am not just referring to tax professionals. 

Please, let me explain better. 

          There has been an ongoing, somewhat group, discussion about the pending and upcoming regulation of tax preparers. In the post referenced above it is clear that the subject is surrounding this topic.

Back for more. . . . , somewhat. . . .?

 

            Okay it has been a month since I last put something up here, and has been almost two months since I actually wrote something. I really have missed being here, so I have decided that giving this up is not something I am ready to do.

            Some of this decision was based on a friend of mine has a daughter who is an English teacher. I mention this as through communications from them both I have learned that my spell is “atrocious”. 

            So why bring all that up? Well I have learned that as I wrote more post my spelling improved somewhat as I was going. So that is one reason that I am returning to my blogging. 

            Over all I miss posting information out there. Although it can be time consuming at times and I need the time for other venues I find in my heart I also need this. 

            Over the past two months, a lot has happened. I have several new clients, I have reopened publicly that I am offering payroll and general bookkeeping services. To do this I have bought some very updated and techy software to achieve my ends for the clients. By end of year 2010 I anticipate being on line for client information. Meaning I have it going in a direction that my clients will be able to do much needed tax stuff via a secured web portal from my site.

            The software is massive and a big learning issue for me but is going along nicely. New tax clients will be going directly into the new system, my way of testing it. 

            My son (all of age 11 ½) is making a presence on the web learning that it is more than just a game source. Moreover, I am totally able to spend more time with both of my children. 

            My post will at best, be sporadic, but I can assure that there will be at least one a week. I hope I can get back to the readers who I left. Tax season is approaching and there is a lot to know as a taxpayer. 

            See you soon.
