Uncle Sam's or Mine??

Action Coach will be continuing their series of monthly education seminars for local businesses.  The next event is Thursday, February 23 at 11:30 a.m. at the Northwest Tarrant Chamber Office.

What's the difference between an fully deductible education expense and a 50% deductible entertainment expense?

Come hear Dennis Deiman of H&R Block share with us a few secrets on how to legally minimize our tax bills.
