2009 SYSTEM UPDATES

Keith and I are pleased to announce that on Friday, January 2, we completed TaxCoach system updates for 2009. This includes effective dates and figures for a whole host of important numbers, including:

• tax brackets and "ballpark savings" calculations
• itemized deduction and personal exemption phaseouts
• Social Security wage base and earnings penalties
• audit rates
• IRA and retirement plan contributions
• HSA deductibles and contributions
• various tax credits for retirement savings, college tuition, adoption expenses, and the like

You'll find these updates in the main Tax Plan Report, Summary Report, and Outlook Letter.

We've also updated all four main seminar kits (business owners, real estate investors, portfolio investors, and retirees). And we've freshened up those seminars, splitting some of the wordier slides into multiple slides for better comprehension.

WHAT EVERY TAX PROFESSIONAL MUST KNOW ABOUT IDENTITY THEFT

Identity theft is more than just a crime. It's become an international growth industry -- one of the few in this struggling global economy. But how can identity theft affect you and your practice? What land mines do you need to recognize in your day-to-day business? How can you help your clients avoid the risk and liability associated with identity theft?

Join us this Thursday, January 8, at 4:00 PM EST for our presentation, "What Every Tax Professional Must Know About Identity Theft." Our guest speaker, Phillip Hughes, has spoken on identity theft to numerous audiences, and will answer those questions and more.
