Not only are taxes as old as civilization, they can apply to virtually anything you can imagine. We have taxes on an incredibly wide range of products and services. In one of our posts, for instance, we discussed a tax on untethered hot-air balloon rides in Kansas! Not only are there taxes on a wide variety of items, […]
Taxes are literally as old as civilization. The ancient Egyptians developed a primitive form of of them. They involved setting aside a certain portion of one’s crops to be given to the pharaoh; various other types have existed in every stage of recorded history. Because they’ve been around for so long, there’s been enough time for […]
In 2018, we’ve become accustomed to the federal income tax as a matter of our everyday reality. It’s hard to believe that, at one point, it wasn’t necessary for Americans to pay tax on their personal income. But, in fact, the U.S. federal income tax structure is now just a bit over 100 years old. […]
Section 1031 like-kind exchanges have come up on our blog multiple times in the recent past. This isn’t surprising. Section 1031 can be an extremely powerful wealth maximization tool. It figured prominently as a matter of debate in the most recent series of tax code revisions. Fortunately for taxpayers, the real estate provision of Section 1031 survived the […]
One of the things that makes law such a fascinating field is the way that it forces us think in ways which are generally foreign to most of us. To think in “legal terms” is to think analytically, to mentally break down events in such a way that causality can be unraveled and properly assigned. […]
Tax is a constantly evolving field, endlessly shifting and changing in response to public expectations and societal needs. If you take a break from the tax field and return, there’s a good chance you’ll be a bit clueless. This is true even for those who only take a very short break. Tax law changes rapidly. Accordingly, it’s imperative […]
If forced to identify a tax that most consistently “falls under the radar,” we would select the New York sales tax. With sales tax, we can say that familiarity has certainly bred obliviousness: sales tax is one of those extra fees which nearly everyone overlooks and forgets about. In fact, most consumers in the United […]
The rise of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has brought about a whole new set of fascinating taxation issues. Currently, the market value of bitcoin is in the low $8,000 range, as of today it is approximately $8,270. Its value has fluctuated widely over the past several years. At its peak, bitcoin boasted a market price of […]
I had a wonderful experience with Mr. Callahan during my initial phone call. He fully understood my issues and provided me with helpful information on how to proceed with my tax issue. I am very appreciative of his time and expertise!

Mackay, you are a godsend. Thank you dearly for taking the time to go through in great detail options for our situation. You were patient, thorough and extremely helpful even after you knew we were unable at this time to pay for services. I wish other companies would follow your level of customer service.
I was in despair for years and now finally I have hope.
God bless,
Tiffanie
“I had a BIG problem with the IRS and wasn’t making any progress with them, even with my accountant’s help. Then I heard about Mackay, Caswell & Callahan. I’m here to tell you that ALL the good things about those tax attorneys are true. Joe Callahan got a $30,000 tax bill reduced to $200! Thanks Joe, I still can’t believe you pulled that off! Christmas came early this year!”

“Joe Callahan helped me out of a big mess. I also went to several other “tax specialists” and got no good answers. Very professional and efficient. I would highly recommend him for complex tax issues. I could have saved a lot of time and money had I used his office earlier on.”

“Mr. Callahan was able to resolve my tax issue quickly. He was up to speed on all recent tax code changes and successfully resolved my issue based on this information. His retainer was very reasonable and I am highly satisfied with the outcome of his hard work.”
