It is top priority to pay all your overdue taxes as soon as possible due to the compounding problems that occur.

With penalties and interest on overdue taxes it doesn’t take long for the total to mount up where you will be paying more for those than the original amount outstanding.

Federal taxes are one of your most important debts to clear as there is no one quite as ruthless at recovering debt than the IRS. They have more powers than anyone else to recover debt.

They can take assets to cover the debt and that even includes your home so you don’t want to be messing with the IRS.

If you know that you won’t be able to pay your tax when it falls due then you will need to look at all alternatives and that might even include the necessity to use your credit card to pay your account simply because that will be an easier debt to manage than the IRS and the interest and penalties that they will impose.

If you have enough equity in your home then that is another solution because the interest you will pay on your home mortgage will be a lot less that the IRS interest for late payments.

You will probably be reluctant to use your house to borrow the money, and rightly so, however in the case of federal taxes you could stand to lose your house if you didn’t pay anyway.

If you have already incurred penalties and interest for outstanding taxes then it is possible to come to an arrangement with the IRS where they will reduce some of these charges provided you can offer them some reasonable explanation as to why this happened. An example of this would be an illness that stopped you from working and earning enough money to make payments.

Often you can arrange a payment plan with the IRS to pay off your debt and if they agree to that use your budget to work out how much you can reasonably afford to pay without getting in difficulty and defaulting. Once you get a payment plan sorted you won’t want to miss any payments under any circumstances.

In this episode, I discussed the relationship of how autoresponders and list building relates to podcasting. Most people associate autoresponders and list building to Internet Marketing, however, consider that podcasting is still new media and that makes it as useable for Internet Marketing as ever!

Ok, there are several autoresponder services out there, including GetResponse.com and Aweber.com, however, these services will cost you about $20.00 per month to use. I used to use Aweber and found it to be just right for me, however, the monthly cost was getting me down (along with my pocket book). I found a script called Autoresponder Unlimited for $37.95 (a one time purchase fee) that does everything that I was using with Aweber. Better yet, no monthly fees! I have this software link posted on the main page right now and it will also appear in The Personal Publisher later.

A listener pointed out an open source product called PHPList that looks promising, and it is free too!

Patti Serrano, for her Broadcasting Tips Segment played a small portion of a podcast where she read from a script, showing the listeners that you can read from a script and make it sound like you are having a simple conversation and not sound robotic.

Josh Budde gave us some Talkshoe News abou the forthcoming upgrades.
