We are cranking along with tax return preparation here at Eakub A. Khan CPA P.C., and there are some interesting things that you should know about from Tax Land (that wild, scintillating world that it is). Look -- it is our J-O-B to handle this junk so you don't have...

Well, we did it. You did it. We made it through the tax busy season. Every year, when I shut our Jackson Heights area office door on April 15th (the 17th this year -- er, the 18th, because of the IRS "issues"), I feel a huge weight lift off of my shoulders. Going home...

I woke up Monday morning, after the wonderful holiday weekend ... and I had a realization: "After today, there are only FIVE days left in 2016." Perhaps not a genius realization -- fine. BUT, if you're smart about how you handle these days, you can pay yourself quite...

Summer is nearing an end. Which also means, well, wedding season is slowing down.If you've been married, you know that there is a big difference between the "wedding show", and the real work of being married. One of the best pieces of advice I've seen for newlyweds is...
