A Day In The Life Of An Intern
Blog Post 1: I began my internship position with Ashville Media Group Thursday, October 1st. It was about a ten-minute walk from my residence, which makes me quite lucky; because many of my fellow group mates’ internship sites are a good distance away.

Make It Close and Personal
Millennials have a very particular approach to what they like to buy and how they do so. We're talking about a generation shaped by the rise of the Internet and the economic crisis: as saving money becomes a decisive factor in decision-making, a one-size-fits-all approach is not perceived as acceptable. Tiered pricing is only the tip of the iceberg, a good start, when it comes to addressing the need and desire for personalization.

Do You Know That Under Tax Law You Can Still Be Legally Married But “Considered Unmarried” When Filing Your Taxes?
The general rule for married folks filing their tax returns is that they can ONLY use file as Married Filing Jointly (MFJ) or Married Filing Separately (MFS).

Purpose and Destiny
Once upon a time, not so very long ago, I dreamed of writing. Writing for whoever might hear, whoever might care, or, for myself and the sheer enjoyment, nay, the absolute bliss of filling a page with words spilling from my mind like a torrent. (a torrent of what, we shall not debate!) Words have always been there, at the forefront of my every thought, waking or sleeping, dreaming or working. How many times I’ve been caught narrating what I’m doing by a quizzical onlooker I dare not admit (usually a family member, thank goodness, but not always). It’s rather like an obsession I cannot escape or break free of, and like an obsession, I do not care to break free, really.

Must Have Gear for Working Remotely
As we rely more and more on the internet, people working from home is becoming more common and less of an anomaly. Many companies, especially smaller ones, are eliminating the office altogether. Why spend a ton on rent in a swanky Manhattan office when most work is done through the internet?

Now You Can Smile – Your 1040 Tax Return Isn’t as Complex as You Were Led to Believe
Preparing your taxes yourself is really not as daunting a task as many people might perceive it to be. As a matter of fact, doing your own taxes can be fun. At first glance, the Form 1040 tax return is typically perceived to be a very complex government form, which can only be completed by trained tax professionals. This is an unfortunate misconception, although your paid tax professional might want you to think this way. User-friendly tax software readily available on the market makes it so easy to prepare your own taxes.

Don’t Be TRICKED into Believing That You Must Use Tax Professionals to Submit an Offer in Compromise to the IRS
There are a lot of organizations out there that amass huge profits by making big bucks off people who are already heavily indebted to the IRS for unpaid taxes. These organizations make all sorts of glorious promises in their advertisements, declaring how they can marvelously reduce your tax bill to a mere fraction of what you owe. Some even promise to reduce your tax bill to 10 percent or less of what you owe. They all claim that they have CPAs, Enrolled Agents, and attorneys who are all unique in their expertise, and who are all at your disposal for fast, free, and confidential consultations. They usually assert that their lawyers are former tax enforcement or other government officials who will use their unique understanding of procedural rules and their extensive experience in dealing with the IRS to develop creative approaches to solving your problem. After they get you hooked, they usually require substantial, non-refundable up-front fees before they will proceed with your case.
