Great, here is another former IRS employee charged with tax fraud and identity theft. See this article by Michael Cohn in AccountingToday for more details: http://www.accountingtoday.com/news/IRS-Employee-Charged-Tax-Fraud-Identity-Theft-69589-1.html So I hope that the IRS has a better screening and security process in place in the future, so this kind of thing doesn’t hit them in the face by surprise again. I know people have been critical of H & R Block and Jackson Hewitt in the past when former employees have been arrested and prosecuted for tax fraud and identity theft, so let’s get on the Service’s case too (of course, everyone already blames the IRS for everything having to do with taxes, including creating them, so I am sure they already have thick skins.)

CPA Tax Musings: Eight Tax Savers for Parents
Hey, the IRS has posted a list of eight tax saving deductions and credits for parents. They can save a lot of tax dollars – see the posting here from the IRS email: http://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USIRS/bulletins/a4a9df?reqfrom=share So now you have to be sure you let your tax preparer know about these items – hopefully if you have kids they will ask you. If not, don’t be shy – ask them if you qualify for the eight; there may be others that come up to save more money. For financial, accounting and tax musings, You can count on us to count for you!
