| Five Future Strategies You Need Right Now | ||
| by George Stalk, John Butman | ||

That statistic probably correlates closely to the number of people who itemize, operate small businesses, or have investments that require something more than cursory knowledge of the tax laws; typically these taxpayers seek out professional advice. Meanwhile, recently introduced legislation would eliminate e-filing fees for all taxpayers, not just the ones who qualify for the IRS's Free File program. Fortunately, these types of changes will have little impact on the accounting profession.....
