- Special Tax Benefits for Armed Forces Personnel
- U.S. military personnel and their families face unique life challenges with their duties, expenses, and transitions. The tax code includes numerous special tax benefits that are available to them. Here are several of the most prominent of those tax breaks:
- SE Health Insurance Deduction: Has the IRS Gotten It Right?
- It seems the IRS cannot make up their minds related to the self-employed health insurance deduction. Although it made sense that the Medicare premiums paid by a self-employed individual should be allowed as part of the self-employed health insurance deduction, the IRS said no in their 1040 instruction through 2009. Then for 2010 returns, without any fanfare, they quietly modified the instructions, allowing the self-employed individual to include his or her premium in the computation of the self-employed health insurance deduction and suggested prior year returns where the 3-year statute of limitations had not expired could be amended.
- Middle-Class Tax Cuts: Will Congress Act Soon?
- So who does President Obama see as the middle class? He has repeatedly used earnings of $250,000 for married couples and $200,000 for single individuals as the threshold for what he considers the wealthy and those who should not benefit from tax cuts.
- How the Health Care Law Will Impact Your Taxes

The intent of this article is to explain how the Affordable Care Act will impact your pocketbook in 2013, when the healthcare taxes kick in, and in 2014, when the mandatory insurance requirement becomes effective. Here are the details for 2013:
- Should Investments Be Kept In A Safe Deposit Box?
- Whether it is a good idea or not to keep investments in a safe deposit box depends on the investment. Certainly, some investments definitely require this sort of protection. These would include investments such as rare coins, stamps, and similar collectables, gold and silver, and negotiable instruments, such as bearer bonds that can be cashed by anyone who possesses them. The cost of renting the box is justifiable for keeping these items safe.
