One of the bigger issues today. Don't think we are just referring to apartment living. Condo's can also be town homes.

Yep, that chicken has come home to roost! I have to preface this with the statement that I do not work for the IRS. I am not a CPA.  I am just an average guy that reads the newspaper.  Recently, I came across an article about taxes.  Now the focus of the article related to the fact that the Tax ...
