Brian’s Tax Musings – More People Working For Themselves
It appears that the ranks of the self-employed are increasing (better than the unemployed) which means new sets of problems for these people. See this article by Mary Ann Milbourn in the Orange County Register:http://economy.ocregister.com/2012/05/01/more-americans-are-working-for-themselves/107848/Remember as a self employed person you have new responsibilities like payroll, accounts receivable and payable and budgeting.

Brian’s Tax Musings – H & R Block to Close Offices and Reduce Employees by 350
I just saw this article in the Orange County Register that H & R Block plans to Close 200 offices nationwide and reduce employees by 350 people. The article by Mary Ann Milbourn does’t give specifics but it is interesting that Block feels the need to reduce staff:http://economy.ocregister.com/2012/04/26/hr-block-to-close-offices-cut-350-workers/107734/Anyway, fewer H & R Block offices means you may need a new tax preparer next year. Call me at 818-317-6035 or email me at bstonercpa@sbcglobal.net if that is the case.Remember, You can count on us to count for you!
