In contrast to many other states in the nation, the Vermont state budget for fiscal year 2020 appears to be relatively healthy. What’s more, unlike most budget plans, Vermont’s budget was unaccompanied by rancorous partisan squabbling. That, in and of itself, is especially welcome news in today’s day and age. According to the state fiscal rankings provided by the Mercatus Center […]
New York “co-op” apartments are unique to the State of New York. When a person owns a co-op apartment, they own a share of a “corporation,” which is the apartment complex itself. But, at the same time, the owner of the co-op also owns a piece of real estate. That is, at least from a […]
Lately, we’ve talked quite a bit about legalized marijuana taxes. We’ve talked about Section 280E, for instance, and the tax issues raised by this important tax code section. We’ve also talked about the debate currently taking place in New York regarding the legalization of recreational cannabis. Today, we will continue to discuss this critical topic […]
We’ve talked about taxes on tobacco and cigarettes before on our blog. Taxes on tobacco and nicotine products have gained attention in the media recently following the release of a new study on the effect of a Minnesota tax on vaping products. The implications of this study are quite controversial; they may suggest that heavy […]
Last year, New York’s plan to legalize recreational cannabis failed when the measure was unable to gather sufficient support. The new proposal had those who predictably opposed it, such as law enforcement, political conservatives and teachers. But the measure also had some unexpected opponents, such as progressives who felt that the measure failed to do […]
States are just like any other entity when it comes to money management. States have income, liabilities, long and short term obligations, and so forth. We may be tempted to think that, at the state level, fiscal problems are either non-existent or very easily solved if they do occur. But this is simply not the case. States […]
The majority of the states in these United States have a corporate income tax which they levy on their in-state businesses. These corporate income taxes contribute toward the general fund of states and help further numerous state projects. Some states have a flat corporate tax rate, but most have a graduated corporate income tax which mirrors the […]
In New York, residency for taxation purposes is inferred based on behaviors of an individual in any given tax year. Residency does not exclusively hinge on a person’s official “status” as either a NY state resident or nonresident. In other words, a taxpayer may be a “statutory” resident for tax purposes based on their actions. […]
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.”
