Expertise: I can answer questions about payroll laws and payroll tax laws and Human Resource laws and agencies. I can answer federal payroll and human resource law questions and most states; I do not have a knowledge of the local taxes for cities and counties within the state. If and when I can I will try and send you the website where you can reference the answer and where you can obtain more information as well as a contact number if needed for that particular agency. Some agencies I have worked with are IRS, Department of Labor (federal and state), Revenue Canada (and provincial governments), Inland Revenue, OSHA (0ccupational Safety and Health Administration); Social Security Administration and National Child Support as well as other agencies in Payroll and Human Resources.

What do you like about this subject? I have studied much on this subject, and it is an interesting subject for me to answer.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? The laws change all the time, new ones are written, old ones are discontinued, it is never the same. I hope to be able to keep on top of the new laws.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Most of the agencies are connected with or have contact with each other and cross with each other. The IRS and the Social Security Department has computer interaction with each other.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject The laws no matter how well written can be interpreted in any number of ways by any number of people.
