New Year-End, New Headaches
With 2013 medicare tax, self employment and social security tax and other changes to the code, there are still new tax planning situations starting now for the end of the year. See this article in AccountingToday by Roger Russell for some details and some solutions: http://www.accountingtoday.com/ato_issues/27_9/New-year-end-new-headaches-67873-1.html?ET=webcpa:e9253:204199a:&st=email Just remember, planning doesn’t work after the year ends!

If they win in New York, will they try to get things overturned elsewhere?
