I want to take time to thanks President Trump for that tax cut,, first time in thirty years I got a refund,,
Wooooo Hoooo, Trump is Making America Great Again!!!
Oh then trump can suck it because I owed money? I am so sorry that most of you can not manage you money better. I see some here some use free or on line for tax filing, I paid My CPA $720.00 to do My tax filing alone, not including all the other work they do for me. The other work they do for me makes the tax filing easier. There is a reason I use an accountant.

if you want me to prove it, let's select a moderator to verify it.
however, I want you to put up $100 against it first (escrow), for my trouble. if I can't prove it, you get it back.
full disclosure. I only own 15% interests in three of the six, but I have a majority stake in the rest.
deal?

sounds like a simple return. did that include your corporate return? or do you not have a corporation?

I use an accountant because I'm getting old and haven't kept up with tax laws as I haven't had to do a return in 15 years and it would be foolish to think I know it all. We have the rentals is all guess you could call our LLC a very small business. So comparing I spent over $700 for federal and $400 for state so does that make my business bigger then yours, LOL? And I do all the prep work, she drops it in the forms. What you pay your CPA is not really, to me the gauge of a business, yours must be small as ours.

So apparently Barr will do a song and dance around 9:30 about the Mueller report, and then will provide a 'lightly redacted' copy of it to the public, but not until noon, for some reason.
I'm guessing Barr and Trump are hoping that Barr's mush words will have some time to sink in and maybe distract attention from what's in the report.
The thing is, there may not be anything at all in the report (nothing we haven't heard before) but Trump's made it so much worse by all the tweeting and threatening and name calling he's done about it. At this point, it seems like there must be something damning because of how hard Trump is trying to divert attention away from it.
I'm also curious about their decision on timing - a deliberate effort to hide the story in a holiday weekend?

I do know dj and can verify that he does own two businesses because I have seen evidence of such, and was aware that he owned a third. I have not seen him since he acquired interest in the other three, so can not speak to them, other than to look at his track record- he owns multiple businesses. It is reasonable that he could acquire interests in others. I was NOT asked to verify this, I just saw the posts above, and figured I'd chime in. Demi, this was only in response to DJ's questioning if I had a CPA, Of course I have a CPA, DJ's knows it, I have made many comment over time about the CPA,
Just like I know DJ, owns several businesses.

I am the same as you, My business is small,, I have the CPA because, She is an expert in her field, People hire me because I am a expert in My field. The cost of the return, I would say if the CPA has competition,, is the result of how good they are and the amount of work they put in to doing your return. Your business is probably bigger than mine.
I have a very good book keeper that does all my monthly reports, the for the quarter and yearly reports she and the CPA work together, and they watch out for Me. How small? At his time I am the sole employee, I do hire sub contractors several times a week, The problem with being the only one in the business,,,, When things go wrong ,it is sure hard to find someone to blame!

Rather than speculate, I'd suggest we wait until the document is released and discuss the actual contents. Seems like that would result in a more meaningful discussion. Okay! BOOM! It is officially over. Trump is now a cross between George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

He had to tell the press what the laws really are and what and who can do and not do. He is really a good speaker. Very short, to the point, tells you what the law actually says and means, and not what the opposition wants it to mean.... and does not upset either side other than the fact one side is in disarray and depressed beyond belief.

Interesting run-on sentence. trump nominated barr for a reason: to save his ass. Time will tell.

no, I don't know it. I have had three CPA's in the last 25 years. all of them do what is called a summary sheet. on that sheet, they compare my income, expense, and taxes for the tax year which they are reporting and the previous year. it shows differences in income, differences in deductions, and net tax rate for each year.
if your CPA provides such a report, then you should be able to tell me your net tax rate 2018 -vs- 2017

I appreciate that AS. The reason I chimed in was because, as we all know, the internet chat rooms are full of people who claim this and assert that. I just wanted to weigh in for all who saw the comments that he was in fact on the level here. (I am not sure how dj will like and react to my doing so, He may NOT like it at all, in which case I will delete these posts!) I'm ok with it. you are one of two mods I would allow "sharing" with.

Very short, to the point, tells you what the law actually says and means, and not what the opposition wants it to mean.... and does not upset either side other than the fact one side is in disarray and depressed beyond belief. I read his remarks, and they seemed to boil down to 'there was no collusion proven, and since there was no collusion, it's impossible for there to be obstruction. At times there might have SEEMED to be obstruction, but that was just because Trump was in a bad mood because he felt like he couldn't unleash the full glory of his presidency while these fake charges were hanging over him.'
Which is exactly what I expected him to say, and what Barr said he would do back before Trump hired him (and it's the reason Trump hired him).

Mutiny is utterly justified when your captain is lost.

President Trump was fearful of Robert Mueller’s appointment as special counsel in 2017, saying it would be the end of his presidency, according to Mueller's report released by the Justice Department. “Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I’m f---ed,” Trump said when he was informed by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions of Mueller’s appointment, according to the special counsel’s final report released Thursday. “Everyone tells me if you get one of these independent counsels it ruins your presidency. It takes years and years and I won’t be able to do anything. This is the worst thing that ever happened to me,” he added, according to notes from Jody Hunt, Sessions's chief of staff at the time. Trump then reportedly became livid with Sessions, excoriating him for recusing himself from overseeing the probe and saying he should resign. “How could you let this happen, Jeff?” Trump asked Sessions, adding that he had “let [him] down.” Sessions recalled that Trump said to him, “you were supposed to protect me,” or “words to that effect,” according to the Mueller report. thehill.com/homenews/administration/439526-trump-feared-muellers-appointment-this-is-the-end-of-my-presidency
