It’s time once again for our annual tax-tips column.  Our column has been rated the top tax-tips column in the United States for people who don’t know anything about taxes BY people who don’t know anything about taxes.  The goal of our column isn’t even to teach you anything.  For the most part, it’s barely even tax-related, other than mentioning the word “taxes” or “IRS” once or twice, for tax purposes.

Welcome back to “How Should I Know?” – the only column where you can send any question about Pesach and know with absolute certainty that you’ll probably have to send it somewhere else too.  I hope you made copies.

I always thought it was a great idea for me to work in my house.  The commute is pretty pleasant, and I’m in a central location – in the living room right at the bottom of the stairs – so that I don’t miss any of the goings on of life, and that way I can write about them.  The problem is that when these things do happen, I can’t actually get any work done.  Especially since a lot of these things happen right on top of me.  Because I’m in a central location in the house.
