“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality…I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.” -MLK

For those hitting the ocean and waves this summer.
This is really simple. You can spot a rip current. Unfortunately, it's where it looks easiest and safest to enter the sea. This is because the rip current is looping around and pulling back OUT. Hence no waves rolling IN. NEVER ENTER THE SEA HERE. If you are already in the sea and get caught in a rip current (you'll know because you will suddenly be moved from your location and it will be impossible to swim against it) don't panic. Swim ACROSS, not against the rip current. For example, rather than trying to swim to shore while being pushed out, swim parallel to the beach and you will be able to get out. Then you can swim ashore. Please educate friends or family visiting the beaches this summer. Stay safe 🙏🛟🏖️

Here is my real issue with many of these TikTok-y tax strategies: Many have a grain of truth to them (see: hiring your kids) but the real work needed by ordinary taxpayers to ensure compliance often exceeds the "win."
Don't chase a #tax benefit, chase a sound financial decision.

Big tax news! D.C. Circuit Court (5/3/24) overturned Tax Court’s ruling (4/3/23) in Farhy, which means IRS has authority to assess and collect penalties if taxpayer fails to file a foreign information return. This could be headed to the Supreme Court!

Remember this piece on gray divorce from earlier this year?
I wrote it after Gerry Turner & Theresa Nist from The Golden Bachelor tied the knot.
Today, they announced they are divorcing, so the advice (including a prenup) feels particularly fresh.

Here is a beautifully produced story on @CBSNews about childhood anxiety, phone addiction, and how the Let Grow Experience builds confidence and reduces anxiety.
Independence is so much better for kids than Prozac! @LetGrowOrg

This has been mucking up searches in the legal space with articles that misstate the law ranking ahead of articles state the law accurately. nytimes.com/2024/03/29/opini…

Months after the Corporate Transparency Act—or CTA—went into effect, a federal court has found it unconstitutional, ruling that it exceeds the Constitution’s limits on Congress’ power.

This gave me goosebumps! What a generous gift to current and future medical students of Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
But someone on TikTok told me setting up an irrevocable trust will eliminate the need to pay income taxes 🙄
If you set up a trust, income taxes don’t disappear—either you, the trustee and/or the beneficiaries must pay the tax. Filing false tax returns with a fraudulent trust scheme can lead to prison and a 75% penalty. Aldridge v. Comm'r. (2/21/24)

A one-year only retroactive tax bill. What could possibly go wrong?
A new proposal introduced in the House, the SALT Marriage Penalty Elimination Act, would double the cap on the state and local tax (SALT) deduction—but just for one year.

The wealthiest 1% of families inherit $447 for every $1 received by the least wealthy group.
Take a guess: what do you think the average inheritance in the United States is? benzinga.com/personal-financ…

Two weeks after it opened the platform for beneficial ownership information (BOI) reports, FinCEN has offered more clarity on issues ranging from company applicants to identification documents.
