Dear Family,

Busy, busy week. We've been scrambling to finish all tax returns before the deadline on Monday.

The extra day or so is welcome, since we lost a couple of days this month due to the High Holy Days.

Are YOUR returns done?

Also during this week, there was quite a flurry of activity as IRS released their "unofficial answers" to the Enrolled Agents Exam. Lots of people, checking their answers against IRS's list are telling me they passed. One person missed it 'by that much' - just one point. We'll see if we can fix that!

I've also had the privilege of spending an hour with the guru behind PodcastBunker.com , shortly after Time Magazine announced that his site was one of the 50 coolest sites of 2005.

He generously taught me to improve the audio quality on the podcasts. Dramatically better sound. Listen to the last two, you'll hear. http://www.asktaxmama.com/podcast/

Time to run. Still finishing tax returns.

If you haven't finished yours, drop what you're doing and finish it NOW. If you have,...then do some planning to reduce next year's taxes.

Best wishes,
Eva Rosenberg, EA
