Well the last week of August, and a great week for bloggers.

Do you Owe the IRS?

            As report by Joe Kristan from Roth & Company, PC the tax update blog, on Friday, (Owe the IRS? Your Interest rate goes up) For links to the ruling, and the rates from and to check the link above.

How to deal with higher taxes is just great. I wish I had thought to write this. Alas I would have made it sound dull. Andy over at $saving to Invest has done a job. A must read.

“Accountant fights IRS and wins!” Is another must read for you. Don’t be fooled by the intro the information is awesome. This came from Don’t mess with taxes. It seems this was hot topic too for Roth & Company, P.C., Tax Prof, Not sure what it all means then check out the great job Robert did over at The Wondering Tax Pro in his post “The feeling is Demutual”

TWTP is back but only to leave again, this time for higher education in the tax laws. New and old he’ll review to let us in on what is going on. Check out this post to find out about his last trip, OUTTA STATE, MAN!

We have a winner of the book contest from Wide Open Wallet. Way to go Tiffanie form We like money. I was trying to win the book, now I’ll have to go buy it. What was the book? Well go check Wide Open Wallet. A hit is that it is all filed under green living.

From Andy at $aving to Invest here are six reasons why higher education students must pay attention to their finances or face years of financial sorrow long after they leave school in Six sure fire ways for students to ruin their financial future.

With more on school, Patrick writes Back to School Money Tips for College Students » over at Cash Money Life.

School, school, school. I love going to school

Ashley over at Wide Open Wallet has started going back to school. In an effort to help, I have a guest post “How long to save your tax records”, I ask other bloggers to ask her or send her a guest post to help her out until she can get  acclimated to her new class schedule, and back to blogging.

McCain’s seven-house money lesson post from Kay Bell at Don’t Mess with Taxes brings up some good points for couples (don’t have to be married) who share living expenses. Be sure to also read from the post The Six Financial Mistakes Couples Make (a post from SmartMoney), and His, Hers and Theirs an article Kay wrote for austinwoman magazine.

I want to thank Joe from Roth & Company, PC for mentioning the taxguy on Monday and the post Filing Status Head of Household. . .

So apparently over at the TaxProf Blog collecting tax “bric-a-brac” is a past time, first I read about a really cool tax puzzle (I like puzzles), then I found out you can buy 1040 TP. Oh my.

Nine Things to Do When the Going Gets Tough from Trent at the simple dollar is a great read, full of information and ideas.

The Wondering Tax Pro picked up on where I sorta` left off with Release of Claim to Exemption. . . with his post CLAIMING CHILDREN OF DIVORCED OR SEPARATED PARENTS. Please check it out. There is more info than I provided.

Fridays post from $aving to Invest, Andy writes Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRIPs)- A great investment the article is part of the Finance Blog Network group writing project covering a theme, “The Best Financial Advice I Received and How I Use it Practically“. Lots of info here.

In my blogroll I would say everyone had great post this week and would encourage everyone to go through and check out all the blogs from all those I read regularly.

I’ll be adding a few more blogs to my blogroll next week one from PF and another one on tax…

The Web site experience. . .

Those of you keeping up with my company web site follies, I had a site building software (?) going but didn’t seem to work well with my server. So after a great day of personal failure I realized that I need to get it together and found similar software that did work on my server. Now although the two are similar, they are different but I at least have something that is working.

I have a few pages up now, and intend to get more up between today and the end of Tuesday, this week. However I am not as familiar with this new software and it is taking me longer to get through it all. 

The other slow down is that as I re-read the pages that I am putting back up I am finding errors that are taking time to fix, along with links that are either broken or missing. It is such a slow process. And I am sure I am still missing errors because I am still hurrying along so that I can keep up with my work load.

Anyway I have a sight started and hope that by the end of next week to have at least half of it back up and running again. It is a lot fancier than the last sight but I have to figure out how all the bells and whistles work yet.

Great blogging to all. . .
