(If you haven’t filed your 2018 return yet, I’m sorry to inform you that you may be rudely awakened when you do!) My point is this. We may be able to help you navigate the new tax laws and significantly cut your income taxes, if any of these apply to you...

The Government Is Trying To Get Their Hands Into Your Pocket, Again! - April 2019 NewsletterThe Government Is Trying To Get Their Hands Into Your Pocket, Again! By Philip Kavesh, Attorney For some time now, most Californians have enjoyed freedom from estate, gift and inheritance taxes. Back in 1982, Californian voters approved Proposition 6, which amended the state constitution to prohibit such gift and "death" taxes. Recently, the federal government increased the exemption (the amount that can pass gift and estate tax free) to over $11 million for a single person and over $22 million for a married couple. So most people no longer had any worries about estate taxes.

When you hear the words "March Madness" you probably think of the big, annual NCAA basketball tournament (and all the crazy betting pools you may "donate" to).

"Thank You, January!" - January 2019 NewsletterThis is one in a series of articles reminiscing about growing up in small town America in the 50's and 60's... I hated January! I was a skinny kid, without much natural insulation, so the grey, cold days of January back East were about my least liked ones of the entire year.
