THE SCHEDULE C LETTER

.

I have decided to publish a new print newsletter titled THE SCHEDULE C LETTER.

THE SCHEDULE C LETTER is a bi-weekly newsletter that provides tax planning and preparation advice, information, and resources for sole proprietors and one-person LLCs who report their business activity on IRS Schedule C.

I have completed a sample issue – which I will send you free of charge as a pdf email attachment. I will also send a print copy of the issue for a Self-Addressed-Stamped- Envelope (SASE).

The sample issue discusses –

• THE ONE PERSON LLC

• THE EFFECTIVE COST OF THE SELF-EMPLOYMENT TAX

• SOME GREAT NEWS FOR THE SELF-EMPLOYED!

• LISTED PROPERTY

• HOME OFFICE DEDUCTION FOR A RENTER

It also introduces regular columns ONLINE RESOURCES and BIZ BUZZ.

A one-year subscription (6 issues) of THE SCHEDULE C LETTER, which will begin publication in January 2011, is only $24.95. The newsletter subscription will be sent via postal mail.

Subscribers will receive as a free gift my package of SCHEDULES, FORMS AND WORKSHEETS FOR SELF-EMPLOYED TAXPAYERS, a dozen unique forms, logs and worksheets that I have developed in my 1040 practice over the years to help document your Schedule C tax deductions and to help organize and gather the tax information needed to give to your tax professional. Please be aware that this is copyrighted material and for your internal use only.

And subscribers will also receive special email alerts on breaking news of relevance to Schedule C filers.

To request your free copy as a pdf attachment send an email to rdftaxpro@yahoo.com with THE SCHEDULE C LETTER in the subject line. To get a print copy send a SASE to

If you are not already a member of NATP you should be – especially now with the new testing and CPE requirements for preparers. Plus, as residents of NJ you automatically belong to our great local chapter.

If you would like information on becoming a member of NATP please email me at rdftaxpro@yahoo.com.

* And speaking of the great NJ chapter of NATP – it has announced the agenda for its “2011 Famous State Tax Seminar” to be held on Saturday, January 8th at, you guessed it, the Hilton Woodbridge in Iselin NJ.

The keynote speaker will be newly appointed Director of the NJ Division of Taxation Michael Bryan. The previous Acting Director refused to make an appearance – and the one before that might as well have, considering the value of her presentations. Hopefully Mr. Bryan will be as good, informative, and relevant a speaker as Robert Thompson had been (before he was fired to taking “gifts” from NJDOT vendors).

The seminar will also feature a panel of speakers on state issues from New York (former NATP Board member Kathryn Keane), Pennsylvania Amy Gambler and Kathryn Bowman, both EAs), and Delaware (James Stewart, Assistant Director of Delaware’s Office of Personal Taxes). I do not believe I have ever done a Delaware state tax return in my 39 tax seasons – but the addition this state for the first time at NJ-NATP is fortuitous for me, as I have two clients who have retired to Delaware in 2010.

And, thankfully, as usual the afternoon will be spent with the dynamic duo of NJDOT – Jim Gordon and Jacob Foy.

The cost is $200 for members, $250 for non-members, and $357 for new members (includes the first year’s dues) if your registration is postmarked before 12/31/2010 and $250 for both members and non-members ($367 for new members) if postmarked in 2011 and at the door.

Keep an eye-out at the “Upcoming Events” section of the chapter’s website for a “downloadable” registration form.
