Biography
I cover tax. I write stories about tax and the tax profession for Bloomberg Tax, and I help tax professionals share their stories. I also write and host the Taxgirl podcast, which lives on the popular Taxgirl blog at www.taxgirl.com, consistently recognized by the ABA Journal as one of the top blogs written by lawyers. I am licensed to practice law in PA and in the U.S. Tax Court. I still give interviews and speak as much as my schedule will allow. Before Covid, you might have seen (or heard) me in Lisbon where I spoke about tax evasion and sports (with an emphasis on soccer), or in Vegas at the National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA) where I opened the conference addressing challenges in the tax profession. Before moving to Bloomberg, I wrote about taxes for Forbes. I published four books together with Forbes, including the best-selling "100 Things You Need To Know About Money." As a freelance writer, I authored pieces for Trulia, Reuters, Time, and AOL’s WalletPop, and was asked to describe taxes in plain English by such media outlets as Esquire, National Public Radio’s Marketplace, CBS Radio’s Marketwatch, BBC, Inc., and the Philadelphia Inquirer. I'm a graduate of Meredith College and earned my law degree and my Masters of Law in Taxation from Temple University School of Law. I'm also a mom to three children, so I should really add coffee drinker, cupcake baker, dirt lover, and sports mom to my resume.

By Kelly Phillips Erb Verified| Forbes Verified House Democrats have sent a letter to Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem seeking an unredacted copy of the memorandum of understanding allowing the IRS to share immigrant tax data with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The IRS has agreed to provide information about undocumented immigrants who are facing deportation orders and under federal criminal investigation, according to court filings.
By Kelly Phillips Erb Verified| Forbes Verified April 15 is Tax Day for most of the country—some exceptions apply—but that hasn’t always been the case. The U.S. income tax system has changed quite a bit over the years—and that includes more than the due date for Form 1040. HistoryWith the advent of the Civil War in the late 1800s, the federal government found itself in need of cash. And as we know, wars are expensive. As a result, the first federal income tax in the U.S. was adopted as part of the Revenue Act of 1861.
By Kelly Phillips Erb Verified| Forbes Verified Ready to file your tax return? Nobody likes writing a big check on Tax Day, but there is some good news—April 15 also means specials, freebies, and deals. After you pop your return (or your extension) in the mail, kick back and take advantage of some promos and specials—everything from travel deals to discounted meals and cocktails. More deals will pop up, so check back (especially closer to lunch and again at happy hour on Tax Day).
