Greetings All
I do like passing along good news, no matter how small...
IRS has increased the standard mileage rate for the final six months of this year. The rate will increase to 55.5 cents a mile for all business miles driven from July 1, 2011, through Dec 31, 2011. This is an increase of 4.5 cents from the 51 cent rate in effect for the first six months of 2011.

IRS Increases Mileage Rate
That's all for now!

Hurrah! I am working!
Hurrah!!! -- I am happily at work in home office today. Short commute meant being 'at work' dressed, fed and ready for the day before 8 a.m. Life is good.
So, although the move isn't totally complete, the important stuff is all moved and set up, and will whittle-away at the rest - have until the 31st to wrap up all of the little stuff.
So, just wanted to say - "I am here, and it's good!"
Feel free to call...

Moving progress...
The 'Move' is progressing on schedule so far... The office will still be closed on Friday May 20th while Brighthouse moves/installs internet and phone services... phone and fax numbers will remain the same. It is going as well as a move can go I suppose (knock on wood), so I expect to be fully operational on Monday the 23rd.
In the meantime, if you would like to update your records the new mailing address is:
PO Box 500091, Malabar FL 32950.

A Change is Coming...
Greetings All....
A change is in progress! The office at Norman Street will be closing (after ten good years), and I will be working from an office at home once again.
This is good news for most of you, and some may not even notice a difference. After the move, I will be available more hours of the day, be more flexible in my work schedule, and a bit more free to travel to visit your locations when needed.
I plan to be closed on Friday May 20th. Phone and internet services will be unavailable for a few hours that day. If you need to reach me on Friday, please call my cell number 321-536-0969. I believe I will be able to monitor the calls coming in on the business line and return your call, but I will be unable to receive any faxes during that day, and probably part of Saturday as well. Monday the 23rd I should be fully operational and ready for work again.
I will be sending out notices with location and mailing address changes in the next week or two. In the meantime, please give me a call if you have any questions or concerns.
I am looking forward to the completed change, and think we will all enjoy the perks!
Thanks! Bec

Nearly Good News re 1099 reporting
Nearly good news about the 1099 Reporting:
President Expected To Sign Bill Repealing Expanded 1099 Requirements
On April 5, the Senate by a vote of 87-12 approved H.R. 4, the “Comprehensive 1099 Taxpayer Protection and Repayment of Exchange Subsidy Overpayments Act of 2011.” The bill, which was previously passed by the House on March 3 by a vote of 314-112, would retroactively repeal the new and unpopular Form 1099 information reporting rules. The White House has indicated that the President will sign H.R. 4 into law. A press release dated April 5 declares that “Small businesses are the engine of our economy and eliminating the 1099 reporting requirement is the right thing to do.”

Beware of new trap...
Beware the new 'trap' in the mail with the heading 'Annual Minutes Requirement Statement - Directors and Shareholders'
While the facts are true about holding annual meetings and keeping minutes being required, if you continue to read, the final sentence says 'This product has not been approved or endorsed by any government agency and this offer is not being made by an agency of the government.'
In other words, even though the form looks very official, and the laws are real, you are not required to fill out the form or to send your $125.00 to Compliance Services, as they have nothing to do with any government agency.
That's my tip for the day!

Labor Law Posters
You may be receiving 'pitches' from various sources concerning Labor Law posters that your business is required to post, advising you to purchase products to comply with the laws (esp Florida).
While there is nothing wrong with purchasing these products, I want to let everyone know that you are not required to purchase them, and I believe all required posters are available free of charge from various government agencies.
I found the following link http://www.floridajobs.org/workforce/posters.html which I think would be helpful, and near the top of the page, there is a link to ' eLaws poster advisor " which asks a series of questions about your business, and give a list of what posters you are required to post, with information on how and where to get them.
I would like to hear your thoughts and experiences with this site. Thanks!
