Summary: Imagine thousands of individuals contributing to your business or project. Crowdfunding is basically connecting “crowds” directly to those who are asking for funding. Crowdfunding platforms/websites offer an easier, less complicated way to find, vet and support individuals, causes, organizations and firms and contribute or invest directly without a middleman.
Top 3 Things to Consider When Buying Tax Preparation Software

There a lot of different tax preparation software to choose from. Do not base it on cost alone. You need the best you can afford. When I asked my clients about why they choose to use the software that they did, most of them replied that they like the simplicity. They find it stressful to go into an office and some just don’t have the time it would take for the visits. Rarely is your tax visit a one time thing. You may need to back and forth if you forgot something. If you are already at home the most you have to do is run into the next room for any forgotten information.
Here are the top 3 things to consider.
1) 3 Versions- many of the tax softwares have a basic, premium and deluxe version. Look carefully at each one to make sure you buy what will really help you. For many people the basic version will not be robust enough to save them money and handle all of their life details.
2) Guarantee- does the software have one? What will you do if you get audited? They need to state clearly how they will assist you.
3) Can Your Computer Handle it- there is nothing worse than buying software , only to come home and find out you can not install it. If your computer can not run the software you are out of luck. Many places will not give you a refund on software.
Using the online software or purchasing it from the store, the do -it- yourself tax preparer must think about these these thing before they buy. You can take the misery out of doing your taxes if you just stop for a moment. There are millions of people doing it every day.

Crowdfunding USA put out the list of Who’s Who in Crowdfunding and I am on the list!
The truth is, crowdfunding as an industry is changing. There are many people who still think you can just throw your project up on a website and then millions will come and give you money. Our industry is dedicated to educating people as to how it works as well as obtaining new clients.
This summer I will be teaching at the Small Business Administration in Los Angeles as well as CSISB. I look forward to sharing with people about crowdfunding and how it works.
