The IRS continues to chase U.S. taxpayers who failed to report and pay taxes on cryptocurrency transactions with a new court order allowing a summons for customer records. The agency will issue a so-called "John Doe summons" requiring M.Y. It's not the first IRS summons for crypto records, but it's unusual because the broker seems to be "quite small," signaling the possibility of more to come, said Andrew Gordon, tax attorney, CPA and president of Gordon Law Group in Skokie, Illinois. While the first summons for crypto tax records triggered IRS letters for unreported income and unpaid taxes, the response took a few years, said Matt Metras, an enrolled agent and cryptocurrency tax specialist at MDM Financial Services in Rochester, New York. "I'm curious to see what happens with all this data they're collecting," said Metras, noting that the IRS may try to match it with investors' tax returns.

☆ Here's why pumpkin spice lattes are so popular: It's 'very simple economics,' say the experts
▼ + stars: | 2022-09-25 | by ( Greg Iacurci | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

The pumpkin spice latte is back — and the popular and meme-ified seasonal drink can teach us a lot about consumer behavior and economics. Starbucks debuted the pumpkin spice latte in 2003, and the "PSL" grew to be the company's most popular seasonal drink, selling more than 600 million since inception and fueling its adoption by rival coffee chains and neighborhood cafes. The pumpkin-spice craze has grown far beyond coffee to ice cream, craft beer, baked goods, yogurt — even dog food. And companies are issuing pumpkin-spice products earlier and earlier — weeks before the fall season officially starts. "It's very simple economics," said Jadrian Wooten, an economics professor at Virginia Tech.

Litra Weizen – 3,0/5Fructe (ananas) și cuișoare intense, dar gust și corp cam plat. Sunstomes Jupiter de la Alehouse – 3,6/5Malț serios cu hamei citric și fructe, într-un corp mare, dar și mătăsos și ușor băubil.
