Tax Law Questions

December 26, 2017 For months we have been calling it a tax bill. Though we have covered the proposals, we have been careful not to predict what we would see in the final version. Today, the tax bill is law and, though we are aware of the major provisions, it is a very complex law […]

Taxes, Jobs and Rates

December 12, 2017 We promised a busy December and certainly we have not been disappointed in this regard.
