This year, I had lots of stock transactions, investment property, sale of foreign property and repatriation of funds to US, gifts from family members etc … sounds complicated, right? I thought so too and decided to hire a CPA. Most of them asked for $500+ plus you have to give them EVERYTHING and they would simply punch it in their software. I had so many questions on these issues so I decided to use the turbotax tax advise call back feature. It works !! I posted my questions and got called back in 10 mins. They went over everything step-by-step and spent like 45 mins on the phone with me until my returns were complete. Can’t imagine a paid CPA spending that much time unless I’ve cut him a nice check. Anyways, I’m super pleased with Turbotax and recommend you use their tax advise service. Its good.

The smaller the nuebmr, such as zero, the MORE taxes/withholding are taken out. The bigger the nuebmr, the LESS taxes/withholding are taken out. I always claim zero in order not to owe taxes come tax time. My paycheck is smaller, but it is better than having to come up with money to pay taxes in April!

Governments soeldm put taxes on things to save or help the people. There is usually lobbyists who want the tax to help their clients. I’ve read that Denmark doesn’t have an obesity problem…the obesity rate is among Europes lowest. Some reading I’ve done, however, turns up this: Denmark’s farming industry is in crisis and near collapse.Since the highest fats in food come from dairy products,( butter, cheese, whole milk, ice cream, cream) and fatty meats, is the farming industry (agriculture) behind all this? Agriculture vs. dairy? Agriculture vs. livestock? I always look to find who benefits from a tax.Of the top 15 industries in De mark, chemicals, food processing,pharmaceuticals, and medical equipment could benefit. And what about the recipient of the educational “programs” they talk about., the ones who will print or sell the “healthful information”?I don’t know, Victoria. Somehow the Denmark governments concern over their peoples obesity just sounds fishy. Say! Could the fishing industry be behind it?10 years of watching you, and you still amaze me.
