How do you know if an introvert likes you? When he talks with you he looks at your shoes instead of his own.

Merry Christmas holidays are awfully hard on an introvert. I am so tired.

This is a no brainer for NY. I also will sign an executive order Next December and allow all my clients to prepay their tax services between December 5th, 2018 until December 20th, 2018 so I have money for a nice Christmas.

Since we've had a few topics posted already with questions, and several that included where information or analysis can be found, I thought it might be a good idea to make one post with links to the law and those additional sources. Here's a link to the final enrolled bill on the Library of Congress website: https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/1/text Today's KPMG News Flash email included extensive first observations of the new law, 167 pages worth. Thank you, @Abby Normalfor suggesting this as a news source. That document is here and is a searchable pdf: https://home.kpmg.com/content/dam/kpmg/us/pdf/2017/12/tnf-new-tax-law-dec22-2017.pdf There's this this nice summary from CCH of the highlights: https://www.cchgroup.com/media/wk/taa/pdfs/news-and-insights/federal-tax-legislation/house-gop-tax-cuts-job-act.pdf Please feel free to add any others you've found that may be useful and accessible to our members.

Very cute - but the actual answer is that after a time of being "On" (attentive, personable, interactive) an introvert needs time alone and quiet to recover - quite possibly including a nap. It can be as exhausting as suddenly doubling or tripling your usual level of physical activity.

Funny, one of the planning tips I have read about recently was to have your clients prepay their 2017 tax year preparation fees, since misc itemized deductions will be no more.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays everyone! You're all invited to my house, I bought too much food....again. Allie is not too happy getting dressed up.

This article gives some examples of how to figure the 20% deduction for pass-throughs. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyphillipserb/2017/12/22/what-tax-reform-means-for-small-businesses-pass-through-entities/#319a9e266de3

If you have AnswerConnect, their analysis is here. And, you're welcome for the KPMG source!

regarding the application of this to certain personal services.. the reply was truncated... correct me if i am wrong but i think The deduction would also be disallowed for specified service trades or businesses with income above a threshold. if accounting/tax practice grosses 250,000 this cut should but ok right?

The NATP summary lists 'the most notable changes taking effect after December 31, 2017' so I interpret that as tax year 2018. " Pass-through Businesses Non-corporate taxpayers, including trusts or estate. who have domestic qualified business income (QBI) from a partnership, S corporation, or sole proprietorship are allowed to deduct 20% of business-related income, subject to certain wage limits and exceptions. The remaining income is subject to normal individual rates. The 20% deduction in not allowed in computing adjusted gross income (AGI), but rather is allowed as a deduction reducing taxable income. It does not reduce income subject to SE tax. The deduction is also not allowed for businesses offering certain personal services........" Does this answer your question?

Doesn't the HSA have to be integrated with a high deductible health insurance plan ?

Enjoy all your holidays and the best of health, happiness and prosperity in the coming year!

......................................................... ....Joy and a Happy Holiday season to all....

Merry Christmas to each of you and yours! God bless us everyone!

Merry Christmas! This community is such a gift - thank you all!

Merry Christmas and safe travels to those that will be away over the holidays!

Merry Christmas to everyone. Same sentiments here, Catherine.
