An Introduction

Hi. Welcome to BourGroup and my blog. Phil

Phil Bour is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER(tm) professional since 2004, a Magna Cum Laude college graduate and an accounting professional for over 35+ years. I love numbers, statistics and economic history.

I am also an Enrolled Agent (EA) to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service and to prepare tax returns.

"Phil"osophy: I believe that you can manage your money on your own (not necessarily through individual stock selection but through mutual funds, ETF's and other solutions) once you receive some one-time, professional guidance. Why pay annual fees when there may be little added value? For additional information, first read the "An Introduction" label at the left. Then move on to others.

AMT - what will 2007's exemption be?

Here is a link to keep track of the AMT (Alternative Minimum Tax) if you are interested:

The House Ways and Means Committee is where this activity starts and they are planning to meet in September. Most likely, there will be a one year patch for 2007 (keeping the exemption amount the same as 2006 and keeping you from the extra tax possibility).
