The computer and the internet have made the annual preparation of income taxes both state and federal so much easier, including the advent of tax preparation services. I can remember working up to the last minute, reading every possible allowable deduction on the appropriate form, figuring what was owed and checking for mathematical correctness before signing the form and rushing to the post office. The best system ever for preparing taxes was the old telephone computer system where you were walked through the filing process step by step. It was quick, efficient and filed your income tax that day. This system no longer exists and I don't have the slightest idea why.
If you are of a particular income level you may qualify for free income tax preparation. I did and found it amazingly efficient if not scary. First, the IRS and the government haven't a direct involvement with the computerized determination of your tax or of its' filing. They have outsourced this most private of all relationships outside of one's doctor, minister or spouse. This is the first place that I found it to be very scary. The government has you take a test or survey as to whether you meet their criteria for free tax preparation service. This involves giving them your age, residence, estimated gross income, marital status and so on into your very personal life. When and if you qualify for the free service they let you select an outsourced service that you know absolutely nothing about. One of the only things that keep complete terror at abeyance is that the IRS has scrupulously evaluated their credentials and has certified them as an acting agent before the IRS. I guess this means if the outsourced service screws you up that the IRS squashes them and you at the same time! Small comfort, however you can contact your Taxpayer Advocate at 1-877-777-4748 if any issues or problems arise.
I selected a service which is famous for developing accounting software and one that I have had a personal relationship. They were extremely efficient and were able when I had a few unforeseen problems to interrupt the filing procedure; and then pick up where they left off with flawlessly. All of these services whether free or paid submit the income tax returns in batch daily to the IRS. This means that you will have to wait approximately 4-7 days for verification of your return's accuracy and filing. If you desire to have your refund deposited to your bank you must give both the routing and account number to your respective bank. I didn't feel like giving that information and elected to have the state and federal governments mail my refunds. This was a delay of only two weeks which was great. The old system could take at least several months under the best circumstances. You can read more about preparing your taxes at
If you want to have your taxes prepared by one of the regularly advertised agencies be prepared by bring all your pertinent tax records. It might be advantageous to make an appointment and inquire into their requirements. They in turn will prepare your taxes, file them and for an additional fee had you your return on the spot. They will be using the same system that cared for me however slightly faster.

Mesa, AZ (PRWEB) June 13, 2007 -- In response to numerous inquiries, Just A Minute, LLC. has posted information on their website about transferring real estate in Florida into the name of a Limited Liability Company. Many Florida property owners have voiced a concern as to the amount of tax they would be required to pay when transferring a Florida property to their LLC.
According to co-owners of Just A Minute, LLC Juli Walsh and Kari VanNoy, a 2005 Florida State Supreme Court case offers clarity. The case in questions is Crescent Miami Center, LLC vs. Florida Department of Revenue, 903 So. 2d 913 (Fla. 2005). The Florida Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision in the case, deciding that "a transfer from or to a party or parties, to or from a wholly owned transferee company, absent any exchange of value, is not subject to the Florida documentary stamp tax on deeds."
Walsh and VanNoy explained the decision this way:
"What this means is you can now (as of May 2005) transfer property from an owner to a single member LLC (or from a husband and wife to an LLC in which the husband and wife each own one-half of the membership interests) with no transfer tax."
"The freedom to transfer real property from personal ownership to an LLC or a Trust without paying a steep transfer tax is very important in protecting property or an estate and ensuring a smooth transfer of title to a designated individual or company," says VanNoy. Just A Minute, LLC encourages clients to transfer property in this way. The deed transfers they prepare also protect owners and companies from the "Due on Sale Clause" in many mortgages. Many mortgage companies write into their contract a clause stating the entire loan must be paid when a property is sold. This certainly makes sense. "What many people don't know," says Walsh, "is that if a mortgage company sees a transfer of the property to anyone but you (including a trust or an LLC); they can require full payment of the mortgage."
Simplifying legal information for clients is one of the services provided to clients by Just A Minute, LLC. They also handle all necessary paperwork for businesses to protect assets and company liability.
