We appreciate our subscribers and clients. As the IRS, state and local agencies try to increase revenue any way they can. Our firm seeks to insure that our clients pay all of their government obligations, but no more. Using confusion and ambiguity to extract more money from citizenry is not right nor in concert with the efforts and insightful brilliance of our country’s founding fathers.
