I will be writing a letter of recommendation for one of my students for Law school. I know the general format, but anyone have good suggestions for what law schools are looking for in particular? See below for the list of schools

If you ever thought that crypto taxes were easy because there are a whole bunch of companies to solve the issue of crypto tax compliance, think again!
I find that no two providers are the same, and go over some common errors that they make in @taxnotes.com today.

The detailed breakdown of each factor are nearly identical between the two papers, which really just makes this seem like a black box that is arbitrarily excluding papers.
Just from these two, can you actually tell why one was excluded and one wasn't? I can't.

Honestly, that actually confuses me even more and makes me think this is even less helpful.
For example, two papers, both have the same score, 1 include, 1 exclude. I am guessing this is just a significant digits issue, but a lot of 4.5 papers were excluded.
but it goes deeper

So I gave my class a simple tax problem today (see below) and had them use AI to calculate the tax owed. The answers ranged from $78k to $171k.
Out of 56 students, only 2 of the Outputs came to the same answer, and none of them got the correct answer. Only 2 were within $1,000.

Some states do have certain exemptions if you are buying items for export from the state, but in general you wouldn't get a credit in the state you reside or a refund from the state you purchased it in

Anyone on #econsky have experience with Qualtrics?
It really wants to have about 2/3 of the page of whitespace and require scrolling rather than use the full screen, and support just told me to reduce the text size...

I feel it is most interesting, because the article describes newspapers as a better alternative to micropayments, when literally what people want from news sites IS a newspaper-like micropayment.

I am not sure...two points stuck out to me reading that. First, at least in media, I don't think there are many people saying micropayments are a replacement for monthly subscriptions. The idea is dual options
Second, he talks about $1 newspapers...which would actually be a micropayment system now

As we see below, assuming tax rates are unchanged, investment growth is the same, we need to contribute a larger $ amount to a Trad.
Also note, even if you just buy and hold with 0 Dividends, a taxable account is still worse than either tax preferred account

Because this is once again showing up over at the other place, it is worth posting here too.
$1 in a ROTH ≠ $1 in a Trad Acct.
The tax savings MUST be invested if you use a traditional 401k/IRA to be equal with a ROTH.

An interesting study found that following a large decrease in the VAT for restaurants in Finland and Sweden had dif incidences for Chains v. Ind. restaurants. Chains immediately passed through the reduction to consumers, while Ind'ts didn't. And these changed over time

Is this the 3-year look back you mean? My reading of the statute is that the org to whom the DAF gives the money needs to be classified as a terrorist organization at the time of the gift.
So you can look back at past gifts, but the Terror designation isn't retroactive. Could be wrong here though.

Presumably you're talking about the DAF as the organization that could be hit under HR 9495?
Assuming that financial institutions administer most DAFs, those institutions already have duties under 18 U.S. Code § 2339B. I would hope that the financial institutions flag the payment before it goes out
