Why and How to Fire Clients
Cutting some clients loose is challenging yet vital. You can only hope for so long that a difficult client will improve before you have to make the decision that he or she simply isn’t worth it to your bottom line. Some clients also make it harder to service your good clients – if not risk your reputation and expose you to a malpractice claim. When you consider firing a client, you do have to trust your gut – but some objective measurements can point you to the right decision. Here are the signs of a bad (and potentially bad) client and formulas and tips to tell if you can do without their business.

Will AMT Make a Comeback After OBBBA?
Following Betteridge’s Law of Headlines, the answer to the question posed in the headline is, “no.” Actually — because we’re talking about taxes here — we can say the answer is never so definitive, so let’s change it to “probably not.” But it’s more complicated than it may seem.
Why Citizenship, Residency, and Domicile Matter
If you spend any time in the world of cross-border taxes, you start to notice a pattern: the hardest problems usually begin with a deceptively simple question—who gets to tax you? And the answer is rarely as simple as “the country where I live.” That’s because tax systems don’t rely on just one concept to decide who belongs in their net. They use citizenship, residency, and domicile. These terms sound similar, and people often use them interchangeably in casual conversation, but in tax law they mean very different things. For globally mobile individuals, understanding the difference matters. You can be a U.S. citizen, a tax resident of another country, and still have your long-term home base tied to a different jurisdiction altogether. Each label can trigger different tax consequences, different filing obligations, and different planning opportunities.
Sophisticated EMR Software Meets Old-School Skimming: Lessons From The Aryanpure Case
The simplest way to reduce your taxable income from an S corporation is to take some of the gross receipts directly into your personal account without running them through the corporate books. Don’t mention this to your tax preparer and make sure they don’t find out. If you get caught by the IRS, though, hire an expert to explain why it is your preparer’s fault. This plan did not work all that well for a couple, both physicians, who were running two medical family medical clinics through an S Corporation called MedExpress. They ended up being liable for the fraud penalty which has the collateral effect of extending the statute of limitations indefinitely. At 75% the fraud penalty is as bad as it can get without losing your liberty.
