OK, this may seem like a snooze, but I received this helpful set of videos from Fidelity on changes to tax laws that impact us in planning for our Federal tax returns.

The purpose of this recorded webinar is to help create awareness around tax law changes and other events that may impact you this tax season. For example: What is the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act? What are the 2014 cost basis reporting changes for fixed income and options? And more.

To hear the answers to those questions and more, watch this webinar and hear from three Fidelity specialists. View the PDF of this webinar.


I joined up with some other running bloggers for another blog hop giveaway!

I participated in Runaway Bridal Planner’s health and fitness blogger holiday giveaway blog hop and when I saw another one, I signed right up! What is a a blog hop? A group of blogs who are all linked together to offer a variety of giveaways posted on all of the other blogs. Blog readers who come to one person’s blog on the list, see links to all of the others and can click to “hop” on over to the next blog. Well, you know that I love giveaways and to check out new blogs so I decided to link up again!
