Do You Know That Under Tax Law You Can Still Be Legally Married But “Considered Unmarried” When Filing Your Taxes?
The general rule for married folks filing their tax returns is that they can ONLY use file as Married Filing Jointly (MFJ) or Married Filing Separately (MFS). Most married folks will typically choose to file Married Filing Jointly (MFJ). Obviously, they choose this filing status because of the favorable tax treatment the IRS allows married couples who choose to file together.

Purpose and Destiny
Once upon a time, not so very long ago, I dreamed of writing. Writing for whoever might hear, whoever might care, or, for myself and the sheer enjoyment, nay, the absolute bliss of filling a page with words spilling from my mind like a torrent. (a torrent of what, we shall not debate!) Words have always been there, at the forefront of my every thought, waking or sleeping, dreaming or working. How many times I’ve been caught narrating what I’m doing by a quizzical onlooker I dare not admit (usually a family member, thank goodness, but not always). It’s rather like an obsession I cannot escape or break free of, and like an obsession, I do not care to break free, really.

Must Have Gear for Working Remotely
As we rely more and more on the internet, people working from home is becoming more common and less of an anomaly. Many companies, especially smaller ones, are eliminating the office altogether. Why spend a ton on rent in a swanky Manhattan office when most work is done through the internet?

The Four-Year Expectation
When I was 18 years old, I started my music degree at Memorial University of Newfoundland. It was my first time living away from home, my first time feeling independent, and the first time I had to make adult decisions by myself.

Now You Can Smile – Your 1040 Tax Return Isn’t as Complex as You Were Led to Believe
Preparing your taxes yourself is really not as daunting a task as many people might perceive it to be. As a matter of fact, doing your own taxes can be fun. At first glance, the Form 1040 tax return is typically perceived to be a very complex government form, which can only be completed by trained tax professionals. This is an unfortunate misconception, although your paid tax professional might want you to think this way. User-friendly tax software readily available on the market makes it so easy to prepare your own taxes.

From STEM to ESL. Top Story - October 2017.
Having dedicated (or sacrificed, depending on your point of view) the final 5 years of my 20s to taking a foundation degree in physics and maths, followed by a Bachelor’s degree in physics, I am frequently asked why I am an English teacher rather than a physics and/or maths teacher. Allow me to explain.
