Dear Amy: I’m a retired Army officer and since 2008 have deferred all decisions about my finances to my wife, who has an MBA.For the past five years, she did our taxes and I never even had the chance to review them. One year we owed $40k, and this year, $16k.I asked to see our return tonight and suggested that we may want a professional to review the return.The response was “We don’t need a [expletive] accountant!”I earn $215k and she earns $150k annually, and I really don’t know where the money goes.I hope to retire in five years, but feel I need a neutral third-party professional to advise.Thoughts? Not InformedDear Not Informed: You say you are retired from the military, but you are obviously working in another field, now, and looking toward your second retirement.

German opposition seeks inquiry over Scholz and tax scheme

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 12:29:34 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s main opposition party said Tuesday that it will seek a parliamentary inquiry into Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s handling of a tax evasion scam involving a private bank before he became the country’s leader.The center-right Union bloc said it will call for the national parliament to set up a commission of inquiry when it returns after the Easter break in mid-April. That should be a formality because it requires the backing of a quarter of all lawmakers, and the Union — with 197 of the lower house’s 736 seats — holds more than that.The issue has been a longstanding, though so far minor, irritant for Scholz. An inquiry is already underway in the state legislature in Hamburg, where Scholz was mayor from 2011 to 2018. He then served as Germany’s finance minister until becoming chancellor in late 2021.Testifying in Hamburg in August, Scholz denied intervening on behalf of the bank involved in the scam. He said that “there was no political i...

Pakistan court rules delay of provinces’ votes unlawful

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 12:29:34 GMT

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled a panel’s decision to delay provincial elections was unconstitutional and ordered the votes held next month, according to a lawyer involved in the case. Ali Zafar, the attorney for former premier Imran Khan’s Tahreek-e-Insaf party, said the three-member panel of judges headed by Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandyal set the new vote for May 14.The elections board on March 22 postponed the vote in Punjab province until October 8 for lack of funds and security. The date for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province was under review when the panel said a vote there could not be held by a constitutional deadline. The court’s decision comes months after after Khan’s party dissolved the regional assemblies in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces in a failed bid to force snap national elections. Since his ouster last April in a no-confidence vote in Parliament, Khan has been demanding early elections. Prime Minister Shahbaz S...
