We have yet another nominee for the Bozo Tax Offender of the Year award. Let’s head to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Back in 2005 Gayle McIntyre pleaded guilty to 36 counts of state tax fraud. She was sentenced to 54 years in prison, but the prison time was suspended; Ms. McIntyre instead received probation and had to make restitution of $127,000. Back in 2005 Ms. McIntyre told the judge, “Living is expensive.” Let’s fast forward to last week. Ms. McIntyre made the…

How a bank lost my business after 16 years
As more accounting solutions look to find banks willing to provide hooks into their systems, it is becoming clear there are banks that get customer service and those that don’t. The difference is a yawning chasm. The other week I announced on Twitter that I planned to buy a suit. This was a shock to many who only know me as a moderately... 
37 More Years for Ed Brown
Tax protester Ed Brown received 63 months for tax evasion. You may remember that he decided to barricade himself in his New Hampshire home, fill it with weapons, and tell the government to go somewhere else.

The “I Was Kidnapped” Defense to Tax Evasion
If you’re accused of tax evasion, there are a myriad of good defense strategies. However, claiming you were kidnapped by IRS Agents isn’t one of them.

A Method to the Evasion
I am not into hip hop music. I had never heard of the individual mentioned below. But “Method Man” is apparently really, really big, so on we go. Clifford Smith, aka Method Man, is just your typical hip hop artist. He earned a nice living from 2004 – 2007, at least if you looked at his federal tax return. His state return told a... 
29 Years Ago
29 Years Ago
Today’s Orange County Register reminded me of an occurrence 29 years ago. On August 13, 1981, President Ronald Reagan signed into law the Kemp-Roth Tax Cut (the Economic Recovery Act of 1981). At the time, the economy looked horrible: inflation was high, unemployment was high, and the word ‘stagflation’ was in common use. The...

Salesforce.com’s latest outage
John Paczkowski on AllThingsD is reporting an outage at Salesforce.com . That’s bound the get the SaaS naysayers rearing up on hind legs with ‘told you so’ style epithets. To do so would be to miss the point. The best response I’ve seen comes from Jeff Grosse who comments: While at one point, just over 50% of the Salesforce...
