September 15 has come and the cold weather is here.

In between preparing the pools for winter covering and seeding those bare spots in the lawns, we are also planning for wrapping up 2008 business years. Numerous questions remain on the horizon and mutual fund balances slip-and-slide to a seeming quagmire. What will happen with the credit crisis and interest rates? Will Congress act by December 31 to ease the Alternative Minimum Tax and stave off massive taxes to the middle class?

Another “Stimulus Payment” before year-end as Obama wants? I doubt it — but hold the reigns tight as this Presidential election campaign promises fireworks necessary to drown out the groans and screams from Bear Sterns, Lehman, Freddie, Fannie and Merrill Lynch carnage. Oh, by the way its only September 15th, did you quarterlies remember to pay your taxes today?

We’ve got our ears to the ground listening to the tremors effecting your Federal and State taxation. Give us a call to talk about what it all means to you.
