I routinely have this argument with clients. It’s actually a cut-and-dry ruling, but everyone wants to play fast and loose with the rules.

Ted Mann- Tikun Olam in the Flesh
Today is Rosh Chodesh Shvat- the new moon of the month of Shvat. An appropriate day to remember Ted Mann, another COVID-19 victim.
Hell Bent?
Here’s a scoop. Personal tax filing is now barred until 27 January Lincoln’s Birthday (12 February; hot off the press RIGHT now). (Business entities can file now.) Each and every year it gets later! But, that’s not the whole story- many states won’t finalize their forms until the 5th of February, so there may be further delays barring your tax filing.
WFH Problems
Talk about the new normal! Bet you that 12 months ago, almost every one of us would complain about the government speak in the headlines. What the heck (yeah, I know, most of us rely on WTF) does WFH mean? Now, it rolls off our tongues like we've known this concept for decades!
Wishin’ and Hopin’?
I wonder how the other English speaking country in the world is being governed. (Not that the current administration is doing this nation any great favors, either.)
What’s obvious with Google Earth?
We have a government that is asleep at the wheel. Or at least a Chief Executive who is. (Or, maybe he is just way too busy being subversive!)
Fabled Tales
I admit it. I have never understood how so many people keep falling for the “kool-aid”.

CARES Act 2. Or what a 5593 page law doth bring (Part 2)
This is part 2. If you didn’t read yesterday’s blog (What??? How could you not), here’s the link to it.

CARES Act 2. Or what a 5593 page law doth bring (Part 1)
By now, y’all know that the Federal Government has an approved budget (through September 2021; the end of the Fiscal Year)- and the CARES act provisions have been extended/modified. This involved a 5593 page bill (and the GOP complained that Obamacare was long!), the majority of which was the budget ($1.4 trillion of the $2.3 trillion package) which also took a significant portion of the verbiage (1815 pages; actually that’s less than 1/3 the total document length).
