1. All IRS Employees Are Not Equal
10 May 2008 at 6:19pm
Listen
Your Podscope hit is at 9:55 Since we've discussed mailing returns in previous podcasts, this time we look at the problems a taxpayer who tries to hand file a return can run into getting that done correctly.  In the case of Allnut, Sr. v. Commissioner, 2008-1 USTC Â50,310 the taxpayer failed to make delivery as required by the regulations, and the court found that what the taxpayer had to live with the date a document could finally be documented as being in the District Director's office--which was less than year years before the date the IRS issued an assessment.Materials for this week are available at http://www.edzollars.com/2008-05-09_Hand_Carried.pdf.The podcast is sponsored by Leimberg Information Services, located at http://www.leimbergservices.com .

9. Inside Europe: The Inside Take on European Affairs
8 May 2008 at 10:12pm
Listen
Your Podscope hit is at 33:12 Inside Europe looks at the latest developments regarding Washington's plans for a missile defence shield on Polish and Czech territory. We'll be looking at the acute water shortage in Spain and finding out it Spaniards need to change their lifestyles. Are tough times pushing Germany to the Left? And how the Mosquito is threatening the UK's unruly. Listen to these stories and more.Tune in to Inside Europe on the radio or sign up for the Inside Europe podcast! You can also download the program from the website.Will the Poles and Czechs scupper Washington?s missile defence shieldTalks between Poland and the US on the deployment of a missile defence shield have reached a critical stage. This week the Warsaw government pressed Washington to help finance the modernising of its armed forces in exchange for deploying part of the shield on Polish territory. But the US has struck a tentative deal with Poland?s neighbour, the Czech Republic, to install a tracking radar there to work with the proposed Polish base. Washington insists the shield is designed to ward off potential ballistic missile attacks from rogue states but Russia strongly opposes it. This week Prague hosted a conference on missile defence following NATO?s cautious endorsement of the project. But as Rob Cameron reports, the Czechs remain a fragile ally in the defence plan.An acute water shortage forces Spaniards to change their lifestylesSpain is experiencing its most severe drought in decades. Water shortages are particularly acute around Barcelona in Catalonia.The Catalan Water Agency is planning to take the unprecedented step of importing water by ship from France and other parts of Spain. To help alleviate the problem, the Spanish Parliament has approved a 180-million euro project to channel water from the River Ebro to Barcelona. Environmentalists and local farmers have criticised the plan arguing that it will damage the Ebro basin and affect irrigation. Our Spain correspondent Jerome Socolovsky told me more about the crisis facing Barcelona.Are tough times pushing Germany to the LeftA study just released shows that Germany's middle class is getting squeezed. The report, by the consulting firm McKinsey, forecasts that if economic growth stays at current levels, the number of people earning in the middle-income range could fall below 50 percent of the population. That comes on the tails of another study showing the number of poor in Germany is growing at a substantial rate. All this has helped boost the fortunes of an upstart party on the far-left of the political spectrum. Named simply the Left Party, it's an outgrowth of the former communist party of East Germany. It was once taboo in western Germany, but it's gaining a good deal of support there. Some surveys show it to be Germany's third biggest political party these days. From the western state of Saarland, Kyle James reports. How the Mosquito is threatening the UK?s unrulyIn Britain, there has been growing concern about violent, unruly behaviour by young people. The concern intensified after a series of fatal attacks by gangs of drunken youths. The authorities have been fighting back, with an ultrasonic weapon. Hundreds of local councils, supermarkets and shops have deployed a device called The Mosquito. It is designed to disperse crowds of young people by emitting an annoying high-pitched sound. The sound is only audible to people under the age of twenty-five.But youth workers and civil liberty groups have condemned The Mosquito and are calling for a ban. From London Stephen Beard reports.Will the euro put Slovakia on the investment mapSlovakia is set to adopt the euro on the first of January next year. On Wednesday, the European Commission said Slovakia had fulfilled all the conditions enabling it to join the eurozone, which will make it the 16th country to adopt the common currency. The announcement crowns years of ambitious economic reforms in Slovakia and the Prime Minister Robert Fico said it was a significant historical decision for the country and its people. Anca Dragu from the English Service of Radio Slovakia International, says ordinary Slovaks share that view.Integrated schools bridge the divide in Northern IrelandIt?s now a year since Northern Ireland?s power-sharing government, comprising the Protestant Democratic Unionist Party and Catholic Sinn Fein, has been in office. It?s creation was a result of the landmark Good Friday agreement back in 1988. Relations are improving between the province?s Catholic and Protestant communities. And a sign of that is the increasing demand for non-denominational integrated schools. Schools segregated along religious lines are still very much the norm in Northern Ireland. In fact, the first integrated school there opened in 1981 to a storm of protest from church leaders. But as Susanne Henn reports, integrated schools are beginning to help bridge the divide for Northern Ireland?s next generation.A hi-tech gadget brings back the Berlin WallMany tourists visiting the German capital still associate the city with the Berlin Wall. They often want to know exactly where it stood and see what it looked like with their own eyes. Today there?s little left of the former Cold War concrete structure. Tourists can find it difficult to find any of the remaining stretches of the Wall. But as Hardy Graupner reports, a new satellite-based multimedia gadget is showing tech-loving tourists everything they ever wanted to know about the Berlin Wall.Tito?s nuclear bunker gets a new lookWe head next to Bosnia-Herzegovina and another relic of the Cold War - the Socha underground bunker which is one of the largest in the world. It was built near the town of Gorazde by the former Yugoslav dictator Marshal Tito and was designed to withstand nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare. In the event of an attack, the bunker offered shelter for Tito?s military and political elite. For Gorazde, such a Cold War relic has little practical use. However as Rob Turner reports, the local council has come up with a novel idea, and it?s not a museum.Provencal goes acapellaLinguistic experts estimate that half of the world?s 6,500 human languages are considered to be at risk of extinction. Among these endangered languages is Provencal - a Romance language spoken in the south of France. It was the language of the troubadours - travelling artists of the French middle ages who sang of courtly love. As Rene Gutel reports from Marseille, a musical group is doing its best to keep the Provencal language and heritage alive.
