Tax Time Tips

Happy 2010! A new year, resolutions, snow, wonderful light, and taxes!

I love tax prep -its this big puzzle with all these neat formulas and opportunities to save some money. I even had the good fortune of working for H and R Block at one time.

This issue is devoted to both provide some education about what you need and do not need to keep in your files and to give you some deductions to make sure not to miss.

Wishing you good health and happiness in your new year (wealth would be ok, too!)

Best regards,
Debby Fenn, CPO®
