Tax issues

MarketingThere is a time of the year that I would rather not think about. That has to do with the date April 15'th.

When it comes to this date I am a procrastinator. In fact, whenever I hear a commercial for any service related to this I turn the channel. There is something about having to pay for a service that in all logical sense should be free. After all, everyone has to file a "tax return", why should we be charged for something we have to do?

I was over at the local Costco yesterday, when I noticed a buyer standing in line with the latest software for filing. I mentioned to her that she sure was waiting to the last minute to get the TurboTax software.

She said, "At least it is not Friday night!"

I said, "I know the feeling."

Then today, I saw an email alert about Tax Scams on the Internet. Technology has created a world in which it can be used for "GOOD or BAD"

I decided to do some investigation at the irs.gov website. By the way, there are IRS impersonators. Some of these may be reputable companies while others may be using it as Trojan horses in the form of keystroke monitoring or keyloggers. Make sure it is the .gov site. On their website they talk about free online services for completing the forms. I have not personally tried any of these so check it out for yourself. There are about 20 different sales alliance companies for free filing.

When it comes to E-Filing, the process of hitting the return key to complete the process still has a certain degree of consumer finality while the actual printing of the completed forms and mailing them in provides an extra means of Insurance that everything is accurate. I still have consumer privacy questions and would want to insure for E-Filing purposes that all information is secure. Suggest reading the privacy policies of not only the IRS site but which ever service is chosen online. It is important to understand and revealing that not all privacy policies are private.

With the Web technology advances we have seen for Internet marketing and Online advertising, for improvements in our speed of communication and sharing of information, advances in eCommerce & eBusiness, we still have to maintain a great deal of vigilance in protecting our privacy and businesses online.

More On Multilevel Marketing

Image
A reader wrote to me regarding an online multilevel marketing article I wrote and felt I did not do justice to representing MLM properly. Message sent: I read your article on Multi-level Marketing where you state 'We tell it like it is.' You've really missed the mark with this one. There are hundreds of multi-level marketing companies from Avon to Watkins. Companies like Mary Kay, Shaklee, Tupperware, Pampered Chef, Discovery Toys and many, many more all pay on multiple levels. That's what multi-level marketing means. The 'companies' you described in your article are illegal pyramid schemes. True multi-level companies are responsible for millions of dollars in sales every year. Do a real service to your readers. Do some more research and get it right. Start at www.mydswa.org to learn about the real professionals in this industry. Respectfully submitted, "Reader" Response to the message sent: (note: Removed the name of the reader to protec

Free Internet Information Repackaged And Sold

Can you believe it! By: James A. Warholic Information that is free is trying to be peddled and sold as special reports... It is one thing to charge for an article when a publisher has given permission. It is something else altogether, Plagiarism and Copyright Infringement when someone else tries to sell an article without expressed permission to sell it by the original publisher. Print Publishers Vs Online Publishers Since the mid 90s when the Internet took off in such a huge way the old-line print publishers went looking for ways to cover their declining market share to the Search Engines. Encyclopedias that were once sold to schools and universities for thousands of dollars had all but become obsolete. Colliers, Britannica, Grolier, Compton, and other reference encyclopedias have had to try and reinvent themselves for the Online publishing world. Internet Business Models For Earning Revenue There are several business models for earning revenue from original manuscripts, technical a
