Hello Bluesky, I've been told this app has become the place to go for common sense political discussion and analysis. So I'm thrilled to be here to engage with all of you.

If you are freelancing, but a majority of your work and fees always come from a single client, take advice on status risk.

The Hunter Biden presidential pardon is mainly to protect Joe Biden's corruption overseas and must not be taken to mean you can avoid paying your own Federal taxes. Speak to your CPA about tax penalties.

If you are a US citizen or Greencard holder living outside of the US, you must continue to file your annual federal and (likely) state returns as usual, but you are entitled to a 2 month delay in the filing deadline.

Please don’t let the election distract you from the approaching tax year end. Remember to request 1099s from your irregular payers in 2024.
