"The IRS is already 'greatly taxed' by the additional role it is playing in delivering social benefits and programs to the American public."

Pun intended?

I know of many clients and friends taking vacations this month, some of them traveling--perhaps in search of *cooler* weather!

How about you? Any plans, fulfilled or in the works, for this summer? I'm interested to hear!

(Have a great weekend, everyone.)

"It has come to this: Congress, quite by accident, is incentivizing death."
