Housing & Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HR 3221) and Emergency Economic Stabilization Act Of 2008 (HR 1424)
Danny C. Santucci, JD has put together an update to his 2008 Federal Income Tax course that looks into each of the changes
these 2 Acts bring to our federal tax code.
Mr. Santucci and Cpethink.com are pleased to offer this update to any registered user on our site at no charge. This includes all past and
future users with our complements. Unfortunately this course does not have review or final exam questions at this time and we are therefore
unable to offer CPE credit for this course, we hope to have CPE credits for this course soon. This course is available online and downloadable as a PDF.

Solo-K Plan for your Self-employed Clients?
Who can forget the era of the 1980s and 1990s when increasing numbers of employers downsized in order to improve their bottom line and fired thousands
of long-term employees? Many of these terminated employees, faced with the need for employment in an environment comprised largely of employers seeking

simply as a solo-k plan. The benefit of a solo-k plan is that it enables you to increase your annual before-tax contributions significantly, resulting in increased:
- Tax deductions; and
- Retirement income.

What Happened to My Pension and Health Benefits?
On a trip to the airport recently, a taxi cab driver told me a sad story. He had worked for a major corporation and felt he had
been tricked out of his retirement benefits both his pension and his health benefits. He was in poor health (he was unable to lift
my luggage into the trunk), but still had to work to support himself and his wife.
He lamented that his father retired with a good pension and enjoyed his old age. He felt unfairly treated and did not understand
why the corporation couldn't make good on its promises.
I don't know the legal ramifications of his plight, but I do understand the accounting implications. Because of fairly recent
changes in the accounting standards, we can all expect to fund our own retirement either by saving in advance or by driving a
taxi-cab when we are 70 years old.
