Tax Blog Index

Introduction

For a bit of background on myself, I am a CPA with a Master of Science in Taxation. I've been preparing tax returns, writing memorandum, and working in the tax industry for about 10 years. I worked for a major public accounting firm for about 4 years before switching to industry, and have operated my own tax practice since 2016.

To ease the use of this tax blog, I've decided to add an index. Please find the list of articles organized by category below. Additionally, I will be adding a link back to this index to all my posts.

Note that this is post will be periodically updated/replaced as posts older than 7 days lose the ability to be edited.
