As I prepare for the year end Alpaca Business and Tax Planning seminar being presented jointly with Northwest Alpacas on Friday a couple of IRS links looked very worthy of sharing on the blog.
The first one is entitlted "Tips for Choosing a Tax Preparer".
The individual you select to prepare your return is a very important decision but no matter how qualified that individual may be remember the contents of the return are your responsibility! If you don't know where to turn to find a qualified farm-friendly accountant contact another local farm and ask if they are pleased with their accountant/preparer, check with your local AOBA affiliate, or your state society for CPAs.
The second one addresses the 2008 Standard Mileage Rate--50.5 cents per mile for business miles. Follow the link and you can review a summary of the mileage rates for medical, moving and charitable purposes.
There is still time to sign up for the tax seminar on Friday--just follow the link above. Along with the tax and business planning presentation it is a fun exchange of questions and experiences with participants enrolled from all parts of the country.

Trying to Catch up . . .
We have been very busy and obviously have not updated the blog on a regular basis. Guess we need to learn to post shorter messages.
The big news in the camelid industry right now is a virus that has been showing up throughout the country. Our farm has had no incidence to date but we know farms who have. Luckily all their critters are fine. There is no definitive diagnosis at this point but we wanted to share a link from the International Camelid Institute http://www.icinfo.org/index.html you might want to review and add to your Favorites. The ICI was founded by Dr. David Anderson at The Ohio State University (Peggy's alma mater) in 2001 and is an information repository, veterinarians, owners, academicians, regulatory agencies and others can access and obtain essential information for everyday situations from research.
Will try to do better on updates--several are in the edit stage right now--but wanted to get this quick message off about a great resource whether it be for critical virus information or daily care issues.
We hope all your critters are happily grazing in their pastures and you are having a great autumn in your area of the country.
