Welcome to TLB
We've been talking taxes since 2007 with a little bit of finance, politics and Shakespeare thrown in for good measure.
I hope you enjoy reading these posts as much as I enjoy writing them.
And remember, we not only invite your comments and suggestions, we encourage them.
Thanks for visiting, Peter -

Humor and drama certainly have a role to play in staying level-headed about taxes.
Given your interest in drama and comic relief (as well as Shakespeare in particular), here’s a Tax Court opinion you might enjoy.

I’ve never seen another Tax Court opinion written in such a style.
