The Music Genre of Beach Music

This is just a personal post to introduce myself to the "blogging world" in hopes that you will find other important topics that I like to talk about such as needing IRS Help, or using a tax consultant to handle all your Internal Revenue Service needs.
A few years ago, I took an interest in dancing. My father is from the "Shag-Dancing Era" and has recently re-discovered his old love of "shag dance" and beach music. I have been dancing for three years, and look forward to possibly competing in the near future! I have several friends that dance competitively in the Competitive Shag Association round. They dance anywheres from South Carolina, North Carolina to Virginia.
Twice a year,Myrtle Beach host an event called S.O.S where several thousand people get together to dance in clubs such as "Fat Harold's","Ducks" and the "OD Arcade". There is a spring and fall SOS event, held in April and September. There are a host of bands to see as well as a "smoothie dance" competitions to view.
Stay tuned to learn more about the dance and beach music genre that has been around for more than 50 years!!

Need Help With Your Taxes

I recently took a job job with a company (Effectur) that is in the business of helping those who need a tax resolution. We have eperienced/well trained tax-consultants who are available to assist anyone who has debt.If you are like me, before I took this job, I had several questions concerning how to fill out my W-2 when starting employment with a new company. I personally feel that kids (of the appropriate age of comprehension) need to learn about real life applications that will help them be more prepared in the real world. Simple questions like the difference between W-2 (wage earning form) and 1009 (business forms)? I am amazed of the number of people that can't seem to differentiate between the two. If you have burning questions, and need IRS help. I encourage you to investigate the different terms just for your own common knowledge.

There are criminal charges for this type of activity.5. Bank Levy-Form 668-A: On date of receipt of levy, funds are frozen up to the amount of the levy and then released to the IRS in 21 days6.Wage Levy-668-W: Levy starts as soon a employer receives information.

WELCOME TO MY FIRST POST

I currently work for a new an upcoming Tax Solutions Firm called Effectur Inc. At Effectur Inc, we pride ourselves on providing a high level of customer service to our clients. It has become apparent to me, that most of the general public know very little when it comes to the IRS and filing income tax returns. I would like to focus on a couple of areas where the general public may need some help in being compliant with the IRS.
