Okay, we admit the bad pun right at the get-go, but there’s something definitely fishy about this tax case. We’ve looked at illegal point of sale (POS) sales suppression software, aka tax zapper, cases in the past, but this one is a real stinker. It involves the fall of another restaurant caught using this software. […]
In a previous post on cryptocurrency, we discussed the formation of the New York Cryptocurrency Task Force and its purpose. As we discussed, this unit will play a big role in shaping New York State policy regarding cryptocurrency. What’s more, this unit may ultimately end up impacting the policies of other states and even foreign […]
We’ve previously looked at tax zapper software. One observation we can make is that cash-based businesses certainly have special needs. Cash-based businesses, such as restaurants, convenience stores and cannabis dispensaries typically need special protections to ensure proper tax compliance. This is because these businesses often have difficulties keeping track of their sales. What’s more, these […]
Recently, we discussed the basics of BitLicense, the credential required by New York State for cryptocurrency-based businesses. New York has also introduced another measure to impact cryptocurrency business and transactions in New York; it will also have implications throughout the country. Specifically, Governor Andrew Cuomo has assembled a New York Cryptocurrency Task Force”. Its goal […]
Back in 2014, the superintendent of New York’s Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), Benjamin Lawsky, designed New York’s special license for cryptocurrency businesses. This special license, known as a New York BitLicense, attempts to regulate and better control the cryptocurrency industry. The license encourages compliance with both the terms and conditions of applicable regulations. It […]
More and more, bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are taking root in the mainstream commercial world. This has occurred in tandem with the IRS’ recognition of digital currency as a legitimate, taxable property. One way that cryptocurrency is taking root is by being accepted as currency by more and more mainstream firms. Another way is by […]
Back in the first half of 2018, the IRS identified a dozen tax scams which taxpayers should be aware before filing taxes for the next year. The IRS referred to this list as the “dirty dozen” tax scams. In the 2018 dirty dozen tax scam list, the IRS identified a new variation of the familiar […]
The cannabis industry is still relatively new and, as a consequence, it still has many tax issues to be resolved. Medical and recreational marijuana businesses are still dealing with a lot of uncertainty concerning tax preparation. There’s uncertainty about how to classify and deduct certain expenses, or whether these companies are eligible for the same kinds 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.”
