WASHINGTON – The U.S. Federal Reserve on Tuesday acknowledged recent signs of strength in the economy and said recent financial market strains have eased, offering few clues on the chances for further monetary easing.

The U.S. central bank described the economy as “expanding moderately,” unchanged from its January statement, and said growth still faced significant downside risks.

Policymakers said the job market had improved but unemployment remains high, reiterating its expectation that rates would remain near zero until at least late 2014.

A quickening in the pace of U.S. jobs growth and a sharp drop in the unemployment rate to 8.3% from 9.1% in August has led some economists to rein in their expectations for a further easing of monetary policy.

The Fed said a recent spike in energy costs would likely push up inflation but only in the short run. Richmo

Tax fraud penalties were recently upheld against Miguel Robleto of Oregon by the 9th circuit. These were civil tax fraud penalties pursuant to IRC Section 6663, not criminal tax evasion charges under IRC Section 7201.

In some cases the IRS brings criminal tax evasion charges, and then goes after you for the taxes, plus a civil tax fraud penalty. Although Mr. Robleto probably doesn’t think so he may have been lucky that the IRS didn’t bring criminal tax evasion charges.

The civil tax fraud penalty under IRC Section 6663 is 75% of the tax that is owed. The process of imposing the civil tax fraud penalty is a lengthy one. Generally the first step is a tax audit, sometimes followed by an appeal to the Internal Revenue Service’s Appeals Division.

Best Buy Credit Card Review

The first time I walked into a Best Buy store about 15 years ago I planned to pop into the store for 10 minutes. But I wound up spending an hour browsing up and down the aisles, and it’s still easy to get sidetracked inside a Best Buy store. They have all the latest gadgetry, from laptops to smart phones to energy efficient appliances and monster-sized HDTVs. I’m a big fan of Best Buy, which is my go-to store for off-the-shelf tech products.

When I make a purchase at Best Buy and they offer an extended warranty I always default to “no” because my research shows that extended warranties are a total waste of money. But I’m also often asked if I want to sign up for a Best Buy Credit Card, which is why it’s high time I sorted out the pros and cons and then shared them with you. So here’s a
