I share #tax and #law stories for @Forbes. Lawyer, writer, proud mom. Happiest with #coffee ☕ and my kids.
For folks who have asked, I am not on Twitter as much as I used to be. You can easily find me on Threads, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Bluesky. If you have a confidential story tip for me, I am on Signal (@taxgirl.1040).
For those who attended my BTG or Taxposium sessions and wanted to know more about the real estate reporting rule, here you go: forbes.com/sites/kellyphi…
And just like that, my time in Asturias has come to an end. It's been unforgettable - I've been able to meet some great people and try new things. Massive thanks to @TempleUniv for making this possible! And of course I was promoting the DOOP agenda across Spain 😂
I have no doubt that a lawyer handling a very large and previously unknown inheritance on behalf of my long-lost relatives would contact me using a free Outlook.com email account.
For new (and existing, of course) #tax friends who have asked about how to be considered for my Getting To Know You series on @Forbes, here’s a look at our first of the reboot, with details on how to apply: forbes.com/sites/kellyphi…
There are a *lot* of folks offering webinars and presentations about the new tax law. This is a reminder to rely on trusted #tax pros (and not individuals who have stumbled into the space due to SEO and trends). I've seen SO many sketchy videos already. Let's be safe out there!
If you were at #taxposium and heard me talk about the Chester County Mobile Home Tax Reassessment Project (or simply have interest), here’s more: forbes.com/sites/kellyphi…
Today's flashback: Your nerdy #tax and #math humor for the day. I needed to pull up 26 U.S. Code §457 to review, so I quickly Googled sec 457. I got -9.84681165049.
If you're at #Taxposium, do come say hello! I am on a great panel at 2 pm, focusing on hot topics, and then I'll be chatting about pro bono work, IRS VITA, Alaska, and making a difference in the profession at 4 pm (super informal, I'd love to hear your thoughts too).
Long day of speaking (tax, of course) and travel (bumpy flight), but the staff @CaesarsPalace was amazing. Day completely turned around, thank you!
Hey @taxretreat - the streak continues! I was randomly selected for a screen and pat-down at the Denver airport.
If you see me wandering around aimlessly at BTG, it's bc I do not officially exist... They cannot find my registration.
If we met at @taxretreat and you'd like to connect on LinkedIn, please do send me a request. But can I ask a favor? Please send a note and remind me how we met—LI requests are a bit out of control at the moment, and I don't want to overlook any genuine requests. Thanks!
I should get some kind of bravery medal for riding these elevators. #iykyk
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act made changes to reporting requirements: Forms 1099-K revert to the 2022 numbers ($20k and 200 transactions) while the $600 threshold for Forms 1099-MISC and Forms 1099-NEC will increase to $2k in 2026. forbes.com/sites/kellyphi…
The best people are #tax people. Clearly. Thank you to everyone @taxretreat (esp all of the folks who organized it, including @SparkleCate who also doubled as our tax trivia tallier) for such a great event!
If anyone headed to @taxretreat is at DEN airport now (1:24pm) and wants to share a ride, hit me up.
My seatmate on the plane and I talked tax and tariffs the whole time from PHL. I know what you are thinking... lucky, right?
Finally on my way to Denver, crazy morning! See you soon #TaxTwitter!
While most people may not have opportunities to showcase their talents outside of the workplace, tax attorney Dorothy K. Butler stands out as an exception. Dorothy is the next tax pro in our @Forbes Getting To Know You series. forbes.com/sites/kellyphi…
