As parents of children with special needs, there’s a whole lot to know and a whole lot to do. We all work pretty hard don’t we? But sometimes there are a few things we know we could use a bit more help with. This time – it’s how to better understand and plan for how we and our children are impacted by Federal and State Tax policies. Scary? Confusing? It really doesn’t have to be, so join us to listen to a fellow NAA NYM member parent who will help provide clarity and save you hours of research – perfect timing for April 15th Tax Day!
Our speaker – Adnan Shamsi – provided two quotes that capture some common thoughts on taxes:
“The difference between death and taxes is death doesn’t get worse every time Congress meets.”
– Will Rogers
“I’d like somebody to get rid of the death tax. That’s what I want. I don’t want to get taxed just because I died. I just don’t think it’s right. If I give something to my kid, I already paid the tax. Why should I have to pay it again because I died?”
– Whoopi Goldberg
As Adnan says, right now we know two obvious things about taxes: like Will Rogers says, when Congress meets the tax code gets more confusing, and like Whoopi says, parents pay plenty of taxes, but why tax our kids AFTER we die? So the goal for this workshop is to provide a forum to answer questions you have, and provide guidance on some relevant topics for the 2015/2016 tax season, including:
