I just received my 2010 stickers in the mail for my
Mexico SUV, California plates. A smog certificate was
required, but I did not send one. Instead, I sent the
required form, California 256 available on-line,
together with copies of both Mexico and American
insurance. I explained that the vehicle was over 1000
miles from the border, was not likely to return to
California and would be immediately smogged should it be
returned. I also gave them a copy of my utility bill
showing a Los Barriles address in our name. I did not
send a picture of the car being obviously in Mexico, as
I did it from the states, but that sounds like a good
idea. I mailed the whole works to DMV in Sacramento.
Others have had mixed luck at local offices. It seems
the Mexico exception to the out-of-state exemption is,
by DMV regulation, intended to apply to border towns.
Buena Suerte. A good website:

It looks like I have a house guest. Smallish cat,
undetermined sex perhaps female as my male hasn't
started fight as yet. All black, longer coat with green
eyes
and starving! When I first saw her a week or so ago she
looked better. Clearly belonged to someone, purred when
fed and quite friendly. If no one claims her in few days
I need to look to adopt her out. She will be a great pet
for some one! Gaar cell: 624 16 15148 or

Burglaries
a. We had a break in at our vacant vacation
rental home behind Barrilito's restaurant, Casa
Huespedes. They broke into two rooms taking a small TV
and VCR, a microwave oven, a blender, one bicycle, two
25 gallon propane tanks, and a few other items. The
Police have been very nice to us and are putting an
effort into keeping an eye on the neighborhood. If you
have any info concerning any odd vehicles in that area
this past week please email me. Thank you.

It’s good to hear the roads are in good shape. What I
haven’t read is how the new border procedures are
affecting people when they cross into Baja. Are they
searching more cars now? Is it still green light-red
light? (unsigned)

fur with white markings. He's neutered, housebroken and
UTD on all of his shots. Harley is very sweet and likes
to cuddle, but also has enough energy to run with the
big dogs! He comes with a crate that he absolutely loves
to curl up in.

IRS
a. At 10 AM today, myself and my buddy Pete,
met with IRS Criminal Investigator Cris Wajda in Reno Nv.
Neither Pete nor I have a Mex. Bank account and we both
have homes in lower Baja. Neither of us used our houses
to generate income. Cris was very helpful and honest. He
informed us that we need not do anything…..nothing. He
also said that if you have a bank account or have made
money in Mexico that you need to file form TDF 90-22.1.
He also said that there is plenty of confusion within
all the IRS offices. Yesterday I called this Don Nelson,
Attorney from Dana Point and his office informed me that
I needed to fill out and file form 3520, 3520a, and get
a Federal I.D. # for my Fideio. His office would do all
of this for me for $900.00. This program is only
concerned with those who made $, or have a Mex. Bank
account. Michael
b. Dear Agent Arlette Lee: Thank you for
helping us in Baja California Sur, Mexico. I understand
Form TDF 90.22.1 is only to be used if foreign bank
accounts or financial accounts aggregate value at any
time during a year exceeded $10,000. This includes
signature authority.
You also said you are awaiting clarification from
headquarters if one owns a home in Mexico under a
fideocomiso trust if Form3520-A needs to be filed.
Definitely you said the form TDF 90.22.1 should not be
used to disclose or file for a fideocomiso.
We are all anxiously awaiting the IRS decision as our
filing deadline is 9-23-09 under the Voluntary
Disclosure Q and A.
Would you please reply directly to
bajaponyexpress3@gmail.com
<http://us.mc516.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=bajaponyexpress3@gmail.com>
, myself and others in Cc: above. Baja Pony Express
(BPE) is a wonderful email newsletter for our community.
This is a widely read email newsletter where we are able
to post general information, ask for airport rides,etc
and I and others recently found the posting re: IRS
FormTDF 90.22.1 and property ownership in Mexico. Would
please expand ASAP on this form, or give the IRS
references before too many of us file incorrectly.
Then when you have the IRS decision on filing
requirements for fideocomiso trusts in Mexico also send
that to BPE, etc. (unsigned)

Announcement from Char Wenger Amerimed Clinic / East
Cape Community Urgent Care Clinic, AC
A few weeks ago I sponsored a focus group with
International Community Foundation, who has
affiliation with AARP one of Medicares largest
supplemental programs. They are researching the benefits
of retiring abroad and would like additional feedback
from our community to assist in this research study.
If you would please read the following letter and show
support by taking the extra time
to fill out the questionnaire link below in hopes of
pushing the Medicare coverage outside the US.

BUZZARDS BAY CANTINA, the unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr.
will make his celebrated return to the ring for his
12-round welterweight showdown against Juan Manuel
Marquez at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Mayweather, is a

highly regarded.

appetizers and buckets of Coronas or Pacifico on

BAJABIZ - Repeats in TWO
weeks
a. - Official Translations -
My name is Paulina Aguilar and many of you might already
know me since I lived in LB for more than 10 years. I
used to teach Spanish to foreigners, but I am also a
LICENSED TRANSLATOR. I am licensed and qualified by the
Mexican government to translate ANY and ALL types of
documents. Licensing is essential in Mexico because any
written document that might ever need legal
consideration MUST be in Spanish and if that document
has been translated, it MUST bear the government seal of
the translator. Anything less may not receive legal
consideration.
You can send your documents to me at
spbaja@hotmail.com
or
globaltmex@gmail.com. My cost is $20 USD per page
(legal size paper) and $15 USD per page (letter size
paper) and I guarantee my work to be 100% accurate. So
if you ever need documents to be translated, or need
assistance with documents written in Spanish, don’t
hesitate to contact me!
b. I would like to recommend the veterinary
clinic in Las Cuevas. My husband and I took our two dogs
there to have them spayed. Emanuel and Gretal (a husband
and wife veterinary team) speak very good English. The
clinic was clean. The price was very reasonable and they
are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week if you have
an emergency(which for down here is really a BIG plus)
Just call them and they will meet you at the clinic
anytime of day or night. Their phone number is
624-129-5640 (a cell number). They are located just
south of Las Cuevas by the old concrete block factory on
the west side of the road. Lets give these new vets our
business so that they will continue to stay in our area.
