The stock prices for H&R Block and Intuit fell after a Tuesday report saying the Trump transition team is considering creating a free tax-filing app. President-elect Donald Trump's "Department of Government Efficiency" has held "highly preliminary" discussions about creating the free tax-filing app, The Washington Post reported. A DOGE tax-filing app would represent a competitor for both H&R Block and TurboTax. It's unclear where a new DOGE tax app would bridge with newer policies the Biden administration already implemented. The IRS also offers free filing services through its Free File program for taxpayers who make an adjusted gross income of $79,000 or less.

AdvertisementAn anonymous celebrity has sued attorney Tony Buzbee, accusing him of an extortion plot. A mystery celebrity has accused the high-profile Texas attorney who is representing dozens of clients in sex abuse lawsuits against Sean "Diddy" Combs of orchestrating an extortion plot meant to destroy his reputation. "It is obvious that the frivolous lawsuit filed against my firm is an aggressive attempt to intimidate or silence me and ultimately my clients," Buzbee said. "The letters were sent seeking a confidential mediation in lieu of filing a lawsuit," Buzbee said. The lawsuit filed against my firm is a prime example of that.

Thailand's same-sex marriage legislation, scheduled to come into effect in January 2025, could attract an additional 4 million tourists to the country per year, according to a report commissioned by the travel company Agoda. The report published Thursday estimates the country's marriage equality law may increase tourism arrivals by 10%, netting the country an extra $2 billion in tourism revenue per year, within two years. Arrivals are expected to come, not only from same-sex couples and their wedding guests, but from the broader LGBTQ community and beyond. The new law will make Thailand the third place in Asia to allow same-same marriage, following Taiwan in 2019 and, on a more limited basis, Nepal in 2023. The law is also set to grant same-sex couples rights related to child adoption, health care and inheritance.

But price rises in Russia are eye-watering by comparison – and just one symptom of an economy that is overheating. “Prices are rising because of the war,” Alexandra Prokopenko at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center in Berlin told CNN. The military budget will rise by nearly a quarter in 2025, amounting to one-third of all state spending and 6.3 per cent of gross domestic product. Analysts don’t see the Russian economy as tumbling over a precipice but instead as a slowly gathering crisis. Russia has traditionally turned to central Asia for unskilled labor, and Putin recently suggested more foreign workers are needed.

But if you're in the 0% capital gains bracket, you can reduce future taxes with a lesser-known strategy, experts say. You can leverage the 0% long-term capital gains rate — meaning you won't owe taxes on gains — as long as earnings are below a certain threshold. The income limits for 0% capital gains may be higher than you expect, Gordon said. You calculate taxable income by subtracting the greater of the standard or itemized deductions from your adjusted gross income. If you're in the 0% bracket, you can sell profitable crypto to harvest gains without triggering taxes.

After 30 years in business, Amazon is a $2 trillion behemoth and one of the world's largest retailers. Some critics believed Amazon was doomed to never recover, but founder Jeff Bezos turned things around — with some helpful advice from Jim Sinegal, founder of rival retailer Costco. Amazon, Bezos added, would always aim to be the second type of company. Bezos credited the rebound to lower prices and promised to eliminate unnecessary costs in order to make more discounts possible, the Times reported — a similar strategy to Costco's. And what really drove it was lower prices for customers…" Bezos told Fox News in January 2002.

People always ask me why I dislike parabolic moves. In other words, parabolic moves force you to be a trader. I will fight no one who wants to buy Palantir because I sense that one will be the last name to go down. But parabolic moves are intoxicating. If we just had the 10-year bond move to 5%, I wouldn't even bother addressing the hidden dangers behind parabolic moves.

A general view shows the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, on August 12, 2024, amid regional tensions during the ongoing war between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip. The war has raged in Gaza since Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023 cross-border attack on southern Israel. Figures issued on Friday showed Israel's inflation rate held steady at 3.5% in September but staying above the government's annual inflation target of 1-3%. Government officials have largely blamed war-related supply issues for the spike in inflation at a time when inflation is largely easing globally. Israeli central bankers have said that further rate cuts, which have begun in the United States and Europe, are unlikely but warned of rate hikes should inflation remain high.

Under a 25% tariff on goods from China, the Wall Street investment bank sees an EPS loss for Apple of 9.2%. Those estimates make Apple the fifth most vulnerable tech company to potential tariffs on goods from China in Morgan Stanley's research coverage. Bank of America analyst Wamsi Mohan agrees, seeing any tariff impact as "manageable." He sees a 60% tariff on Chinese goods possibly resulting in about a 4% hit to Apple's EPS. By contrast, Dell – which he noted looks positioned to be "most vulnerable" to tariffs – could see an EPS impact of up to about 90%, according to his model.

Details on the proposal are scant and some Democrats have called the overtime tax promise "as fake as his tan." "As part of our additional tax cuts, we will end all taxes on overtime," he said at a rally in Tucson, Arizona. Among these, 82.1 million were hourly workers and 15.6 million were salaried workers, the report said. Meanwhile, about 7% of hourly workers and 70% of salaried workers do not qualify for FLSA, the report said. For example, would it be designed as just an income tax or would it be a payroll tax exemption as well?

Housing costs are the biggest expense most people face, so knowing how much you can afford to spend can be key to staying on top of your budget. As a rule of thumb, financial planners commonly recommend spending no more than 30% of your gross income on housing, whether that's mortgage or rent costs. This advice is often based on guidelines set in the 1980s by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which defined spending beyond 30% as "housing cost burdened." That means if you earn the U.S. median income of around $80,000, you should aim to keep your housing costs to $2,000 a month. Considering that Americans are routinely spending more than 30% of their income on housing, the guideline can feel more like an ideal than a realistic rule of thumb.

Amazon on Thursday announced Prime members can access new fixed pricing for treatment of conditions like erectile dysfunction and men's hair loss, its latest effort to compete with other direct-to-consumer marketplaces such as Hims & Hers Health and Ro. Medications filled through Amazon Pharmacy are eligible for discounted pricing and will be delivered to patients' doors in standard Amazon packaging. Analysts at Bank of America downgraded shares of Hims & Hers from buy to underperform on Thursday, citing Amazon's push into hair loss and erectile dysfunction markets. The analysts said Hims & Hers generates more than 80% gross margins from its core erectile dysfunction and hair loss offerings, and estimate that Amazon's medications for those conditions are about 42% and 29% cheaper respectively. Amazon introduced, and later shuttered, a telehealth service called Amazon Care, as well as a line of health and wellness devices.

AdvertisementSpotify is going after YouTube's video podcast dominance with a new revenue program for creators. The company will also no longer insert ads into video podcasts shown to paid subscribers. Spotify seems to be tired of playing second fiddle to YouTube when it comes to video podcasting. Spotify said payments for non-ad-supported video podcasts would be calculated based on how much a creator's content is viewed. Outside its creator monetization program, Spotify also announced on Wednesday that it rebranded its "Spotify for podcasters" program to "Spotify for creators," signaling a desire to draw in a wider set of video and audio talent to its platform.

"But SQ has also come under regulators' scrutiny (FinCen, CFPB) recently around its Cash App and Afterpay businesses. The president-elect has taken a pro-crypto stance during his time on the campaign trail , pledging to ensure that the federal government does not sell off its bitcoin holdings. A more favorable regulatory environment could also spell gains for Visa , which has rallied around 19% this year, according to Bernstein. "While it is unlikely that the DOJ pulls the case, it's possible that President-elect Trump names a more pro-business Head, who might be more amenable to a weaker settlement with Visa." That stock has seen the biggest year-to-date gains of the three, rising around 24%.

HONG KONG — Businesses and consumers in China found the annual Singles’ Day shopping festival less attractive this year due to a sluggish economy, forcing e-commerce firms to look abroad for growth. While Singles’ Day was previously a one-day event, shopping platforms in China now kickstart the festival weeks ahead to drum up sales volume. But amid China’s lagging domestic economy, dragged down by a real estate crisis and deflationary pressures, consumers no longer go all out during the shopping extravaganza. Wang said that the prices offered on e-commerce platforms during Singles’ Day are not necessarily cheaper than usual. “I used to buy a lot two or three years ago and I even purchased a mobile phone (during Singles’ Day),” he said.
