1. WARHAFTIG & ASSOCIATES, CPA UPDATE
lease remember, if you are in need of any financial and/or tax advice during the course
of the year, feel free to call to make an appointment.
As the end of the year approaches, please make sure that any tax related items are taken
care of now, and not when it is time to file your taxes.
===========================================================
2. IMPORTANT DATES – MARK YOUR CALENDAR
Remember, if you received the $7,500 tax “Loan” in 2008 for first time homebuyers, you
will have to begin paying this back starting in 2010. My advice is to locate your local
Congressman and start a letter writing campaign to have them overturn this.
Moving from one job to another, do you want to move your 401k but need some
advice on how to move it, or even where to move it to, call for a consultation.
Please call if you have any questions or concerns.
===========================================================
3. Annual Financial Education Conference Coming in January
The annual “Do It Herself: A Journey to Financial Freedom” conference for women is
being held on Saturday, January 29, at Caldwell College. Conference topics include
Investing, Organizing Financial Records, Estate Planning, Budgeting, Smart Debt
Management and more.

4. Smart Ways to Save Money During the Holidays
The holidays are a joyous – and potentially expensive – time of year. However, gift
giving doesn’t have to empty your wallet if you follow these simple tips.

5. Social Security and the Cost-of-Living Adjustment
In October, the Social Security Administration announced that there will be no cost-of-living
adjustment for Social Security beneficiaries in 2011. What can distressed retirees do to
maximize or compensate for stagnant Social Security checks? A New Jersey CPA shares
his insights in the latest NJSCPA financial literacy podcast.

6. Trim Your Taxes Before You Deck the Halls
April 15 seems so far away when you’re pulling the holiday decorations out of storage.
But doing some quick planning now could potentially lower your tax bill and give you
something to be extra thankful for next spring.
