JD Vance wants to increase the child tax credit to $5,000 (up from $2,000) per child. Goal is to incentivize having more children. Genuinely curious if anyone knows of studies showing birth rate impacts of the child tax credit.

Pay your kids to work in your business, And get a tax deduction for it. It’s beautiful. How to screw it up? Pay your toddler $12k/yr. And brag about it on social media.

I never thought I’d own a CPA firm that: - has a relaxed 30hrs/week busy season for all staff - files 100% of returns by 4/15 - closes down during the summer - owns a $5MM Lake Tahoe mansion for clients and staff to visit - runs at a 55% profit margin And I was right, I don’t.

The year is 2030. You’ve been handed a jail sentence for tax evasion. Your wife is divorcing you & taking what’s left of your assets. Your kids get teased at school because dad is a criminal. All because you downloaded TikTok.
