Zinner Tax Pros Answering the Call!

by | 13 Jan | Firm news

Professional tax experts from Zinner & Co. will once again be taking phone calls for this year’s Plain Dealer “tax call-in” that offers free tax help to the Greater Cleveland community.

This year’s call-in takes place February 22. Zinner’s own Howard Kass (Tax Partner) and Ken Vinocur (Tax Supervisor) will be staffing the lines.

Last year, when Howard and Ken volunteered for three-hour sessions, the call-in received more than 750 calls. The busiest year for the call-in was 2004, following massive tax law changes, when nearly 900 calls were logged.

With the volume of tax related legislation that has been enacted over the last year, as well as the expiration of many tax provisions that were not renewed, there is much resulting confusion about current tax law. This promises to spark many questions from callers throughout the evening.

TO PARTICIPATE, CALL 216-999-4300 OR 1-800-447-6915 WITH YOUR QUESTIONS ON FEBRUARY 22 FROM 6 to 9 P.M.

Since 1938, Zinner has counseled individuals and businesses from start-up to succession. At Zinner, we strive to ensure we understand your business and recognize threats that could impact your financial situation.
