Ridgewood NJ, the lost art of silent films is not lost on Director Jennifer Linch, with a perfect score the film captures and every emotion with facial expressions and character dramatization telling the story of a kidnapping, murder and revenge.

A silent film is in short a film with no synchronized recorded sound. In silent films , the plot was often conveyed by the use of title cards, written indications of the plot and key dialogue lines. The idea of combining motion pictures with recorded sound is nearly as old as film itself, but because of the technical challenges involved, the introduction of synchronized dialogue became practical only in the late 1920s with the perfection of the Audion amplifier tube and the advent of the Vitaphone system.

IRS Cracking Down on Cryptocurrency Tax Transactions

pthe staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ , according to CPA James Brown the IRS announced in late July 2019 that it is ramping up its campaign to ensure that taxpayers with cryptocurrency transactions report these transactions on their income tax returns – and report them correctly – by sending “educational” letters to approximately 10,000 taxpayers who either didn’t report their crypto-transactions or may have reported them incorrectly.

The IRS said it used its compliance efforts to identify the taxpayers who may be noncompliant. Because fewer than 900 taxpayers reported virtual currency gains and losses each year on their tax returns from 2013 to 2015, the IRS stepped up enforcement of the rules. As part of that effort, the IRS got court approval in March 2018 for a summons to obtain account and transaction information on more than 14,000 customers from Coinbase, a company that services buyers and sellers of Bitcoin. Although the IRS didn’t say so in its recent announcement, presumably the leads for the 10,000 taxpayers who will receive a letter came from this source.
