Some Articles From Other Blogs

Below are some articles from other blogs that I read.  All of these blogs are in my RSS Reader and I find them essential in keeping up with the world of probate, tax, and estate planning.  Note that these are not all of the blogs that I read.  Just some of them that had posts over the past week or so that I thought my readers might find interesting.

  1. Ask the Taxgirl: Income Tax on Gifts (Cliff's Notes: There is none)
  2. The Tax Lawyers Blog: 4 IRS Forms to Know if you are Getting a Divorce
  3. Don't Mess with Taxes: Back to School. Tax Holidays on Tap
  4. Elder Law Today Podcast: I have a Living Trust, So I'm covered, right?
  5. Tax Guru-Ker$tetter Letter (no article in particular, but a well writing and amusing tax blog)

Again, this list is by no means complete.  It's just a few things that caught my eye recently.

Estate Tax News from the Tax Prof Blog

Paul Caron, a tax professor at the University of Cincinnati College of Law,  and who has the #1 Tax Blog out there, has provided a recent round up of Estate Tax news. 

Most of the articles that he linked to involve the fact that the Estate Tax is set to expire next year (and come back into full force the following year), and the various proposals to "fix" the problem.
