Anyone Desperate for Free Tax Prep Help Should Make a Reservation at Andaz Wall Street ASAP

Posted on by Caleb Newquist

If you're going to be staying in Lower Manhattan on business, this makes for a great deal and you can stare at the East River while Marc Albaum cranks out your 1040. Just don't forget to bring your shoebox.

Andaz Wall Street, the only hotel on Wall Street, launches their Accountant in Residence series where certified public accountant Marc Albaum will reside in the hotel and file taxes for hotel guests free of charge from April 8-15, 2012. The Accountant in Residence program aims to accommodate the demanding schedule of the frequent business traveler and provide guests the ease of filing their taxes on the road, just in time to meet the April 15th deadline.
 
For one week, certified public accountant Marc Albaum will reside and run his office in the spacious Buttonwood Suite at Andaz Wall Street. Marc's stylish office will feature 1,465 square feet of loft-style living space, featuring a master bedroom and bath with a soaking tub, a half bath, living area, dining room and display kitchen. A ten-foot wide valet closet with LCD televisions on both sides divides the bedroom and living room, allowing Marc to separate his office from the living quarters. The Buttonwood Suite also features nine-foot windows boasting views of the East River.
Of course, if you're just looking to score a prepared tax return pro bono and fluffy pillows, the room could set you back anywhere from $320 to $467 a night. If that's not in your budget and you hate TurboTax, there's always Brass Taxes.

If you feel like nothing in life is ever certain, know this – John Daly will always be a weight fluctuating, chain-smoking, boozehound. And every once in awhile, he’ll have some serious money trouble or just go completely broke.

This is usually followed up with a major win which is then followed up by a total blow-up at the next tournament that may or may not involve Big John ending up passed out pantless on the 18th green in the middle of the night.


The guy has managed to make $9 million throughout his career yet still owes the IRS over a $1 million in back taxes for ’07 and ’08, according to a lien filed with filed by the Service with Shelby County.

His house in Memphis is apparently for sale, for just a smidge under $700k. So if you’re in the market, help the guy out.

Judging by the pics, you’ll have to schlep in your own kegerator and you’ll likely have to replace the carpet due to the ubiquitous cigarette burns but it still looks like a pretty nice pad.

Grover Norquist Gives Congressman Frank Wolf the Heebie Jeebies

“My conscience has compelled me to come to the floor today to voice concerns I have with the influence Grover Norquist, the president of Americans for Tax Reform, has on the political process in Washington,” Wolf read from a statement on the floor of the House of Representatives today. Wolf listed a series of associations that he said undermines Norquist’s credibility as a policy advocate. Among them, he cited a relationship Norquist had with former lobbyist and convicted felon Jack Abramoff. “Mister Abramoff essentially laundered money through ATR and Mister Norquist knew it,” Wolf said.
