How the Health Care Law Will Impact Your Taxes
There has been a great deal of media coverage related to the US Supreme Court upholding the Affordable Care Act, also known as the Health Care Law.

The intent of this article is to explain how the Affordable Care Act will impact your pocketbook in 2013, when the healthcare taxes kick in, and in 2014, when the mandatory insurance requirement becomes effective.

Inheritances Can Be Tricky
If you have received an inheritance or anticipate receiving one in the future, this article may answer many of the questions you might have. The process of claiming an inheritance can be quite complex, and it helps to understand the basics and be aware of potential tax liabilities. NOTE: Special rules, not covered in this article, will apply if the decedent’s death occurred during 2010 and the executor elected to apply the “no estate tax” rules available at that time (usually this occurred only if the estate was valued at more than $5 million). If you are a beneficiary under this condition, the executor should provide you with additional information as to the basis of the property you inherited.
