More on IRS takedown of Spitzer

March 11, 2008

Not to kick a man when he’s down, although New York Gov. Elliot Spitzer sure is making it easy, but the New York Times has a good article today elaborating on the role of the IRS’ Hauppauge office in tracking the [soon to be ex?] governor’s alleged payments to the Emperor’s Club prostitution ring.

According to the paper in Revelations Began in Routine Tax Inquiry, "… the criminal investigation that discovered the tryst began last year in
a nondescript office building opposite a Dunkin’ Donuts on Long Island."

Finally, the Howard Johnson’s Motor Lodge across the street from the Watergate building has a franchise companion in political scandal!

Hello Tax Season 2026

Happy New Tax Year! Are you ready to file your 2025 tax return? I know, too early to ask. But Tax Day 2026 will be here before we realize it. The Internal Revenue Service deadline to file and pay any tax we owe is the regular April 15 date this year. It’s also Tax Day for most of the states that collect income taxes from their residents, which is most of the states! If that seems too far away right now, don’t worry. As is the case every tax season, the ol’ blog’s tips and other tax reminders should help all of us meet our state and federal responsibilities. Procrastinators also will want to keep an eye on the countdown clock just below. It tracks how much time we have until April’s Tax Day, just in case we put off our annual tax task until the absolutely final hours and decide we need to instead get an extension request into the IRS by that date. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
