Mistakes You Should Avoid As A Plan Sponsor When Dealing With An IRS/DOL Audit
03:50pm, Tuesday, 14'th Dec 2021 JD Supra
I was at the local bagel store buying bagels for my family (I kind of swore them off when I discovered they made me pre-diabetic) and diet soda for myself. The woman at checkout remarked how bad diet soda wasn’t for me, but acknowledged she smokes cigarettes, which I never have since my grandfather died of lung cancer. People tend to focus on the wrong things and a plan sponsor tends to focus on the wrong things. One of the biggest dangers to them as plan fiduciaries and their pocketbook is an… By: Ary Rosenbaum

''Troubling'' questions raised about disappearing millions from Trumps dark money machine: report
02:58pm, Monday, 13'th Dec 2021 AlterNet
According to a deep dive by the Daily Beasts Roger Sollenberger, the dark money machine that is raking in hundreds of millions of dollars to promote Donald Trump recently changed ownership hands and questions are being raised about where all the money is going and who controls it . As the report notes, Trumps ouster from the White House in 2020 set in motion a collection of allies creating PACs aimed at promoting him as he ostensibly plans to make another presidential run in 2024, and that the non-profit formerly known as America First Policies underwent an ownership change that further has obscured how the money is being used. Pointing out that the changes cast another layer of opacity over millions of dollars in already obscured donations the group made to controversial far-right causes in 2020, the report quotes University of Notre Dame non-profit law expert Lloyd Mayer calling the changes troubling. Whatever your views of so-called dark money may be, these groups are further obscuring money flows, he explained.

Dems Panic Over ''Build Back Better'' Impasse As Child Tax Credit Set To Expire
07:00pm, Sunday, 12'th Dec 2021 Zero Hedge
Dems Panic Over ''Build Back Better'' Impasse As Child Tax Credit Set To Expire Democrats hoping to pass their Build Back Better social spending and climate package by the end of the year are beginning to panic, as continued disagreements with party moderates Sen. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema threaten to leave more than 35 million families without monthly payments of up to $300 per child starting December 15 th . "We are not going to have a lapse in payments. Thats too important," said Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH). Yet, what Brown can''t control is whether Manchin and Sinema will sign off on the massive $1.9 trillion social spending package, which Manchin has repeatedly suggested hitting the brakes on until inflation is under control. He has also previously suggested work requirements and lower income limits for the expanded child tax credit. Manchin also says that a lapse in the CDC could be made up for at a later date . "I''ve never seen a situation where we weren''t able to make up whatever you thought time would be lost." Votes from Manchin and Sinema are critical, as Senate Democrats use an arcane process known as budget reconciliation - which requires a simple majority of 51 votes - to circumvent the filibuster.

New York Attorney General Letitia James eyeing early January deposition of Trump: report
06:03pm, Thursday, 09'th Dec 2021 AlterNet
New York Attorney General Letitia James is looking to depose Donald Trump as part of the state''s civil probe into the widespread fraud that allegedly "permeated the Trump Organization." James has requested that Trump provide testimony on January 7 of next year in hopes of gleaning more information around claims that Trump overvalued many of his assets to secure underserved loans from various financial institutions, according to The Washington Post . Trump also allegedly lowered the value of his assets on tax forms in a bid to reduce the Trump Organization''s tax burden. Back in 2012, the Post reported , Trump told the IRS that 40 Wall Street also known as the Trump Building was worth $16 million. But in talks with lenders just a few months later, the former president claimed that the same property had a whopping $527 million price tag. Prosecutors are also apparently scrutinizing other properties owned by Trump in California and their investigation appears to be extensive. For one of Trump''s golf clubs in the Golden State, prosecutors have reportedly asked specialists for geology reports analyzing the sediment under the greenery, which may have impacted the property''s total value due to multiple landslides.
