I'm a medium, male, American Stafforshire Terrier Mix. I don't have a name yet, but you can call me Tommy Tennis. My ID # is 19123056. I love to run, play & fetch tennis balls. I'm a goofy guy with lots of kisses to give. Is there someone out there who needs me as much as I need you? Please come visit me at Dekalb County Animal Services, a high-kill shelter, before my time is up...SOS. The shelter is full; I can be put to sleep at any moment. If you adopt/rescue me, I will be your best friend & shadow. Read More »

Balog + Tamburri CPA's

This week's tax tip from Balog + Tamburri

 

Filing StatusAny major life event changes?  If recently married it often pays to file "Married Filing Joint" with your spouse - however if either spouse has substantial personal deductions you should review your taxes and if if "Married Filing Separate" makes more sense because of tax deduction "bunching".   If you are unmarried at the end of 2012 and paid more than half the cost to keep up your home for a qualifying dependent (child, parent, to name a few) choosing the "Head of Household" status will save you money.

  •  Tax Law Changes have you Confused?
  • Do you prepare your own taxes but want a "fresh look" by a CPA?
  • Do you understand your tax situation or do you "sign and mail"?
