The Joe Messina Show
Have you had your healthy dose of reality lately?There are always at least two sides to every story. Have you ever wondered how someone, who saw the same thing you did, walked away telling a vastly different story? Which version was correct? Which one was the REAL story? Actually, both are! It’s just a matter of perspective.Joe takes the issues… especially the controversial issues (politics, prejudice, religion, illegal immigration)… and brings in people from different sides to share their viewpoint. This is definitely not a fluff piece. And while no one is attacked, the questions are hard-hitting. But the conversation is always respectful and you’re sure to learn something new, even if you don’t agree!If you've always wondered how the “other side” thinks and how they've arrived at their “stand”, then this is the show for you! It’s not the right side, it’s not the wrong side, but the REAL side of the issues!

Guest, Dan Pilla of TaxHelpOnline.com explains the most common "GOTCHA" TAX reporting mistakes that people make. The tax code is SO huge, that most agents couldn't possibly know all the law. Plus, they don't go by the "law", they go by the tax manual. The decisions of tax auditors are NEVER final. You always have the write to appeal. The appeals office is tasked with trying to negotiate a settlement. Still not final. After that, you can take it to tax court and have it heard. The higher up the ladder you go in the IRS, the better chance you have of an accurate and fair assessment. His book .. Dan Pila's Small Business Tax Guide.
