Have a nice day.

The umpire needs to go. Now. He made bad calls for both teams. I can't wait for the roboumps.

Grok and Poe are awful for legal research.

Based on the sizes of the fines I am seeing for attorneys being sanctioned for using AI hallucinated cases, the money could have been used to hire a contract attorney or a part-time associate.

I thought there would be less traffic at Costco today. Nope, not at the one I go to.

My latest ATL column discusses the DHS's request for IRS's assistance and why undocumented migrants must comply with US tax laws.

Did you hear about the ATM that got addicted to money? It suffered from withdrawals.

I wonder if the companies who paid for commercial spots in the 4th quarter feel ripped off.

Oh well, I never really liked Crown Royal. Smelled and tasted more like perfume to me. Also, I'm not a big tequila fan. Actually, I don't drink much at all. abovethelaw.com/2017/11/a-to...

You’ll always stay young if you live honestly, eat slowly, sleep sufficiently, work industriously, worship faithfully and lie about your age.

A number of sections of the Internal Revenue Manual have disappeared. www.taxnotes.com/featured-new...

Why does Trump need 15 days to plan to release the JFK files? If they are going to release everything unredacted, shouldn't it take a few days at most?

Today is another day. "Time to man up."

For Los Angeles County residents, the IRS has extended filing and payment deadlines due to the wildfires. Also, since LA is considered a disaster area, residents can claim casualty losses for personal losses. www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs...

Are earthquakes nature's way of auditing compliance with building codes?

Friends say that they like Waymo. I'm not open to it just yet as I would like to pay a working driver. But if taxi fares go up like YouTube TV prices....

My latest ATL column discusses how investors who lost their money on Hailey Welch's failed cryptocurrency might be able to get some or all of their money back: abovethelaw.com/2024/12/did-...

South Korea's president declares Marshall law. If the above sentence doesn't make sense, neither are the reasons for his declaration of marital law. Did you catch the typo on the last sentence?

Magic can’t save ‘Harry Potter’ star Rupert Grint from a $2.3 million tax bill. www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving weekend. Mine went well until someone ruined the poker table.

Working on updated profile pic. Only problem is I gained a lot of weight since my last one.

The $600 minimum 1099 reporting requirement began in 1954. If adjusted for inflation, the minimum will be over $7,000 today. Let's hope TCJA II addresses this.

I see a lot of people here are Twitter/X refugees. But leaving Twitter is a lot easier than leaving the country. I explain a few of the reasons why in my latest ATL column. abovethelaw.com/2024/11/you-...

I didn't think Mike Johnson would be interested in MMA.

I see that most of my friends have migrated here. I created this account (thanks @joepatrice.bsky.social) before the incoming White House communications director beats me to it. Not sure what I plan to do here yet although a lot of influential people in tax and gaming industries are here too.

Just about to wrap up for New Years until I get a call from someone who is being investigated for tax evasion....

I wrote a column on the possible tax angles on Shohei Ohtani's deferred contract which looked at residency and deferred comp issues. But I decided to shelve it at the last minute because it will probably cause chaos and hasty reactions. I might post it at a later time when certain things happen.

My latest ATL column discussing the Moore case. abovethelaw.com/2023/12/supr...

Pandemic news stories are out in force again. I expect a different reaction than that of 4 years ago.

A few friends and I had an interesting discussion about this question: Would you exchange your life today to live like royalty in the Middle Ages? You might need to think about it a bit.

Sad to hear about Coach Bobby Knight's passing. One of the best motivational speeches ever, if you understand where he's coming from. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Chdg...

Night at the Rio Las Vegas: $53 Resort fee: $44 WTH?

My next ATL column will focus on a car coming to the U.S. in Jan 1, 2024.

Going to a friend's house to watch the World Series game. Everyone attending is rooting for someone. IDK much about either team. One team is closer to home. But the other team beat the Astros. I'll just keep my mouth shut. Picking a side will probably get me into unnecessary trouble.

Last night's episode of Loki was excellent. I'm a bit lost on the story though. Not sure how the TVA works.

My latest Above The Law column discusses the upcoming corporate transparency act reporting requirement for small businesses. abovethelaw.com/2023/10/smal...

What is the over/under for Rudy Giuliani getting another tax lien for the 2022 tax year?

My doctor gave me a good rule of thumb for eating vegetables: eat the ones the grow upwards, not downwards.

Just as I thought. I pretty much ignored that character in the original FF7. Probably end up doing the same when Rebirth is released.
