Subject: tax
This website is about tax stuff. Oh, every once in a while there will be something off-topic (like running), but tax stuff is pretty much all you’re going to get.
Target audience: the priesthood and the laity, for now
Hard to tell at this point. Sometimes the audience will be a tax professional (lawyer, accountant). Sometimes the target audience will be the lay person — the taxpayer. I’m going to let this evolve over time, and see which direction to pursue.
Post content and client matters
Posts are frequently going to cover stuff that I do in my day-to-day law practice. That makes sense, because that’s what I know best, and it’s where my experience and training might be most interesting to readers.
There will never be a post on a topic that is an active case in the office. I will not do anything that would compromise a pending case.
For instance, let’s say I’m representing a taxpayer in an audit. The Internal Revenue Service claims taxes are owed; we of course beg to differ. I’m not going to write about anything related to that case. This could give an enterprising Revenue Agent (i.e., a Revenue Agent with an internet connection) an insight into our strategy.
When I do write about stuff I do in the office, here are the rules:
1. No real names, ever.
2. Facts so blurred that you can’t recognize your own life.
3. The case is finished.
Comments from you
Readers’ comments are welcome. No, let’s be really clear about this — I eagerly look for the emails that alert me to the posting of a comment. One way conversations aren’t fun. Please talk back.
