In their efforts to turn our country into a socialist nation (even though it has failed every time tried), these left wing wackos in Congress want to borrow 1.75 Trillion dollars and pass one of the worst pieces of legislation ever written - over 2100 pages of it.

Beginning in 2022, if you send 100 or more W-2s you must send them electronically

The Taxpayer First Act mandates electronic filing of IRS forms including W-2s

The IRS issued Notice 2021-52, an annual notice providing updated special per diem rate information for the federal fiscal year starting October 1, 2021.

The Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service today issued further guidance on the employee retention credit, including guidance for employers who pay qualified wages after June 30, 2021, and before January 1, 2022, and additional guidance on miscellaneous issues that apply to the employee retention credit in both 2020 and 2021. Notice 2021-49 PDF amplifies prior guidance regarding the employee retention credit provided in Notice

Being into all things computer, I read an interesting article about the WWW code being up for auction. Tim Bernes-Lee, a London-born computer scientist, invented the World Wide Web in 1989. This ended up revolutionizing the sharing and creation of information - one of the most significant inventions since Gutenberg invented the printing press back in the 15th century.
