I keep hoping that one of these days they will MEAN it!

I get my "Final" copy of Kiplinger about every quarter. I signed up for them about10 years ago, but their analysis was a little projective ("we expect congress will pass XXX legislation and it will have this effect on your clients") and geared toward higher earning clients. I did not renew, but about every 3 months my "Final" copy arrives in the mail. Tom Modesto, CA

It'll take years for those email addresses to get scrubbed from their databases but at least NEW companies won't get it? I haven't lived with my parents since 1993 and I still occasionally get solicitations sent to me at their address. The really interesting part is that my parents moved 12 years ago and the companies updated their address for me and it followed to the new house.

This doesn't surprise me, I remember when credit card companies would sell customers telephone numbers during the era of telemarketing. Now for your enjoyment, people taking revenge on telemarketers: Now

It's more than 20 years of free issues from Kiplinger for us.

I have often found that if I look ALL over for an answer, and simply can NOT find it, it helps to post a query. Because then, the answer I spent three hours looking for pops up from my OWN desk, RIGHT in front of me, where it was hiding all along, to say "Here I am; fooled you!" But it always makes me ask before it will come out of hiding.

Parker Tax sends two emails a month with their service. I also continue to subscribe to the old PPC Tax Action Bulletins which come twice a month.

One report I saw said the individual mandate would expire in 2019, if it remains in its present form. (But maybe that's old news). In any event, as Jack says, nothing is known until the final legislation is written and signed. That won't happen until all the the various bribes & trade-offs are in place. It's not for nothing that we have the best politicians money can buy.

Nothing is changed until the Presidential ink is dry on a bill. To talk about things before this happens, is to play into the hands of the media and troublemakers in Washington. The more political gossip they get people to participate in, the more distracted everyone will be about all the other changes that are sure to happen.

I took this to mean the client's 2016 income tax return was e-filed in October, and now the client needs to issue 2016 1099-Misc forms. I think the question is can 2016 Forms 1099-Misc be e-filed right now, even though IRS is not taking individual tax returns electronically from Nov 18 - late Jan? I honestly don't know if they can or not, so I don't know why I am contributing here, except I have a weird need to know if the question was understood and answered.

I subscribe to all the relevant (to my practice) IRS e-newsletters, David & Mary Mellem, everything relevant from NATP, NAEA, CCH, and others.

I recently subscribed to KPMG's Tax News Flash. It's way more than I need but I just skip to the relevant articles. Plus it's free. Long time reader of Dave & Mary Mellem's emails. I think you can subscribe by just emailing Mary at [email protected]. Forbes has some good tax writers like Tony Nitti.
