Just met with my tax guy over the weekend. I asked him about the inclusion of insurance as part of you reported income. Gues what, he showed the clause to me in writing in the federal tax change for 2010 book. Its a fact, for 2010 taxes, comapny provided insurance will be taxed as income. He said there are several issues that still arn't finialized, he has a IRS school to attend later in the year to address these issues. Sounds like they are expecting some changes. I have differing opinions on this subject as I pay for my insurance and the insurance for my children out of pocket. Its the biggest single payment out of my pocket each month, it excededs my house payment by a large margin. Luckily, my wifes company pays for her insurance, if they didn't, my premiums would double just to include here. Its great that company's provide insurance, but i see it as a way for compensating without taxes. We all complain about the big wheel execitives getting all those percs and compensations that aren't taxed. kinda falls in the same catagory to me. Regarless of what comes out of this, we are preparing to pay more taxes for 2010. I'd rather be proven wrong and get money back than be right and pay more.
BTW, the biggest issue surounding the new tax lay that got my attention was when I made the comment that I couldn't believe the unions would vote in someone who taxed their benefits, he replyed "Some Unions benefits are exempt" he didn't tell me which ones, but I'm guessing UAW leads the way

He didn't say all unions, just some of them. Sounds pretty fishy to me. Tax some of the people, but not all of them? The book he showed me was printed by the IRS. I don't think any of this is in concrete. He said he was fully expecting revisions and updates all the way till the end of the year, we'll see what happens next year at tax time.

Does anybody here believe the D.C. cops and the American military would fire on American citizens if enough of us clogged the streets of D.C. as has recently happened in Egypt?...BTW, I commend the Egyptian military for keeping their cool...so far.
Not just Obamacare, but all the incredibly wasteful directions our money is sent is the real problem...Obamacare is only one spoke of the wheel...the status-quo of the present political scene (left & right) is the REAL problem...

Forget Macy's
The tax tables just arrived. Average working class man gets $10 to $12 per week less in his take-home pay. Average meaning someone making between $28k and 36k per year. Federal Withholding just went up. That will hurt some more than others. Still nothing concrete about Obamacare for the business.. The CPA drilled us about who has coverage and who does not. My guess is the IRS is taking a survey, again...
Just saw Congress talking about the Constitutionality of Obamacare last evening. One elderly gentleman on the panel said, "If the guberment is forcing all people to pay for Health Care, that is Not Unconstitutional." -- WTF HUH?
