  1. Super Tuesday on March 5 is when 16 states will host their presidential primaries. In honor of the pivotal political day and "doughmocracy," Krispy Kreme is giving guests two free donuts.

    The nationwide deal is coined as Krispy Kreme’s Super Twosday and customers can score two original glazed donuts, no purchase necessary. To snag the freebie, you just have to use the promo code “twosday” when ordering in-shop or in the drive-thru.

  3. WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today issued the 2024 optional standard mileage rates used to calculate the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business, charitable, medical or moving purposes.

    Beginning on Jan. 1, 2024, the standard mileage rates for the use of a car (also vans, pickups or panel trucks) will be:

    67 cents per mile driven for business use, up 1.5 cents from 2023.

    21 cents per mile driven for medical or moving purposes for qualified active-duty members of the Armed Forces, a decrease of 1 cent from 2023.

    14 cents per mile driven in service of charitable organizations; the rate is set by statute and remains unchanged from 2023.

    My mother-in-law had a SEVEN-DAY to-the-minute pre-Thanksgiving schedule. Starting from cleaning the refrigerator to make room for it all, grocery lists for serving by number of people, then when to take the turkey out of the freezer to thaw in the fridge, to when pie crusts were prepared, then pie fillings, side dishes, stuffing, and more. She even had charts, on grid paper, comparing roasting times by weight for stuffed versus unstuffed turkeys, plus suggestions for coping with the chaos and dealing with leftovers. It was truly astounding. 

    But this also pre-dated Excel, so it was all on 5x8 index cards, plain paper, and grid paper. 31-page pdf from her paper records. Does that still count?

    Very well....       YES            Thank You Catherine.

  6. Tax Home

    Your tax home is the general area of your main place of business, employment, or post of duty, regardless of where you maintain your family home. Your tax home is the place where you are permanently or indefinitely engaged to work as an employee or self-employed individual. Having a "tax home" in a given location does not necessarily mean that the given location is your residence or domicile for tax purposes.

    If you do not have a regular or main place of business because of the nature of your work, your tax home may be the place where you regularly live. If you have neither a regular or main place of business nor a place where you regularly live, you are considered an itinerant and your tax home is wherever you work.

    https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/foreign-earned-income-exclusion-tax-home-in-foreign-country

    Generally, your tax home is the entire city or general area where your main place of business or work is located, regardless of where you maintain your family home. For example, you live with your family in Chicago but work in Milwaukee where you stay in a hotel and eat in restaurants. You return to Chicago every weekend. You may not deduct any of your travel, meals or lodging in Milwaukee because that's your tax home. Your travel on weekends to your family home in Chicago isn't for your work, so these expenses are also not deductible. If you regularly work in more than one place, your tax home is the general area where your main place of business or work is located.

  7. Tax preparers are planning double-digit increases in their fees, according to the National Association of Tax Professionals newly released 2023 Fee Study.

    "Our study found an average cost for a new client in 2023 to be $218 versus $174 in 2021, an increase of just about 23%," said Tom O'Saben, director of tax content and government relations at NATP.

    So glad it’s over!  This morning as every year I leave MA at midnight to spend a few days with Mom in NYC after being away for nearly 3 months.  She’ll be 99 in a few weeks and all she wants to do is play dominoes, Bingo and drink my homemade wine with no sulfites.  A tradition I hope goes on for as long as I am in this business. Photo is not long ago.

    You have a fine looking Mom, Bill.  Bless your hearts.
