In September, there were still about 17.6 million tax returns awaiting processing, and the IRS anticipates receiving over 4 million more returns in October.

64: How to Start Your Tax Career: Advice from Bloomberg’s Senior Tax Reporter

September 28, 2021 12:00 - 32 minutes - 44 MB

Over the past year, Kelly has talked a lot about “the profession.” Broadly, that refers to the tax world. However, tax as a career isn’t always easy to categorize, and not all tax professionals are accountants or preparers. Kelly is often asked how to get started in tax, and since the answer can be so nuanced, she was inspired to start an occasional series highlighting nontraditional tax careers. There are so many careers in tax besides accounting and preparing. For those who find data, leg...

September 21, 2021 12:00 - 38 minutes - 53 MB

At age 26 in 2008, pop star Britney Spears was put under a court-sanctioned conservatorship. That meant that other people (including her father) that had been named as a conservator were allowed to make decisions about her career and her money. The story has attracted so much attention that it has its own New York Times documentary, and its own hashtag on Twitter, known as the #freeBritney movement. Recently, after 13 years of acting as a conservator, Britney Spears’ father finally agreed to...

September 14, 2021 12:00 - 40 minutes - 55.7 MB

In March of 2020, Congress introduced a new tax credit: the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) as part of the CARES Act.

September 07, 2021 12:00 - 27 minutes - 37.2 MB

While the subject of partnerships has brought Kelly many headaches, many tax professionals are drawn to them because of their notorious detail and nuance.

In 2017, the Bureau of Labor Statistics found that over 36% of Americans are a part of "the gig economy," a dramatic increase from 2-4% in 2005.

August 17, 2021 16:00 - 45 minutes - 63.2 MB

Now that we seem to be turning a corner, it’s time to talk about paying down debt, saving money, and planning next steps. In the wake of a global pandemic, changing your money management ...

July 20, 2021 16:00 - 29 minutes - 54.5 MB

In June, Taxgirl wrote a story referencing a bad tax take on TikTok. It was a case of tax advice going viral for all the wrong reasons, and a lack of understanding of tax basics.

July 13, 2021 16:00 - 39 minutes - 73.2 MB

June 15, 2021 16:00 - 36 minutes - 66.6 MB

May 18, 2021 16:00 - 31 minutes - 58.4 MB
