I live and work in Philadelphia, PA. I moved to Philly from rural NC to attend Temple University School of Law where I earned my J.D. and LL. M Taxation.

While at law school, I interned at the estates attorney division of the IRS. At the IRS, I participated in the review and audit of federal estate tax returns. I even took the lead on a successful audit.

I love to write and talk tax. I present on tax topics around the country - in July, I was in San Francisco at BlogHer to discuss tax for freelancers and bloggers. I was also interviewed this summer for a movie, An Inconvenient Tax, focusing on tax reform.

I write a monthly tax column for The Legal Intelligencer, the oldest law journal in the US. I'm also working on a book about the history of tax.

At taxgirl.com, you can read my take on tax news, tax policy and tax information. Stop by, comment or ask me question. It's painless, trust me.

Did I mention that I drink a lot of coffee?
