Lindsay Lohan tweets Obama seeking tax cuts for so-called millionaires

September 8, 2012

Lindsay Lohan wasn't among the celebrities who attended the Democratic convention last week, but she did the next best thing.

Taking advantage of Obama's participation in social media, Lohan dropped the prez a Twitter request in response to a statement in his acceptance speech regarding tax cuts.

Lohan has since deleted her online plea for tax relief for Forbes-list millionaires, but not before it was captured in screen shots.

It's unclear exactly what Lohan wants — 140 or less characters does have its drawbacks in dealing with complex topics such as taxes — but the quotation marks around the word millionaire seem to imply that not all folks on the Forbes' annual list of the rich deserve to be there.

Consequently, according to Lohan's reasoning (and you don't know how hard it was for me not to put quotes about that word!), these not really wealthy folks need a tax break, too.

Of course, we must remember that Lohan's view of taxes is skewed. The Internal Revenue Service hit Lindsay with an almost $94,000 tax lien earlier this year.

Looking for Lindsay: I couldn't find Lohan on any of the magazine's recent listings of America's affluent.

Maybe her plea wasn't for herself, but for some Hollywood friends facing tax troubles. How kind of her to think of others in tax relief need.

But the beleaguered actress did this spring make Forbes' list of the most over-exposed celebrities.

Lohan came in second to the ubiquitous Kim Kardashian.

TAX-SAVVY WAYS 
TO WRAP UP 2026

It’s over! With October’s extended filing deadline behind us, it is now time to focus on year-end moves to reduce your 2026 tax bill. 

You’ll find ways to do just that on the Tax Tips page (see the More Tax Posts drop-down menu at the top of the blog), as well as the separate tax tip pages for each month, notably October through December. If you’re on the Tax Tips page, you’ll find a monthly list at the end of this column. If you’re on another blog page, you can head straight to the October tips; at the bottom of that tips page you’ll find links to all the other 11 months’ collections of tax advice.

Not to spoil what you’ll find in that tax advice, but it does cover such things as tax deductions for charitable donations, investment moves that could reduce tax due, and ways to max out your tax-favored retirement savings. 

Finally, as the year winds down, things get hectic. There are lots of other things to occupy our time, like the much more fun upcoming holidays. But don’t lose sight of taxes, since timing is key. To be of use, most tax moves must be made by the end of the tax year. That’s Thursday, Dec. 31, which also is the last business day of the year. 

So that you don’t miss that final tax year deadline, also keep an eye on the countdown clock below. It will keep you on top of just how much time is left to make important, tax-saving moves. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
