Great guest post. A lot of taxpayers don’t know this little tidbit when it comes to loan forgiveness (foreclosures/short sales, etc)…and neither do their real estate agents.

Great article! Handling bounced checks in any accounting software is always tricky. Thanks for the tip.

wow.. that’s all I can say. I know it’s not much consolation but I have been using Backup Buddy (by iThemes). I backup my blog & website database daily and the full shabang weekly. It’s not a free plugin but it’s worth it for the piece of mind and the ease of auto backups and one-click restore.

Great article with even better tips. It’s amazing how many people just foolishly spend that refund on things they don’t need.

It really Blew chunks Nancy, I am moving but not until after season settles… I need to focus, and I am having trouble with that as it is…. :/

I agree, having lost three months of tweaking and post was about the most horrible internet experience I have had… and it did reduce me to tears, I had worked really hard on stuff from December through January.

I somewhat recovered but I won’t let them do it again.

Bruce – this is horrible! What a mess (an like you need any more to do during tax season). We use a local company to host our site – in 9 years we’ve never had an issue (no matter what crazy thing I’ve wanted to do) – he’s always available. If you’d like I can give you his info.

This is a great overview of the plan options available to small employers. Also, they can do a simple profit sharing plan and if the census date is favorable a defined benefit plan. The latter could generate some very large deductions for an older workforce for a very successful company.

In addition, small employers also have some very important worker classification concerns. The IRS has just issued a VCSP program that allows employers to come clean where they have been treating workers as independent contractor when they should be employees. This may be a good way to resolve a pending problem, but it may have other implications where these workers now become eligible for other company benefits. For more details readers may want to see

I agree. Playing hide-and-seek with the IRS will only make it worse and could lead you to more grave consequences.
