ALMA General Meeting: Tuesday, June 14, 10:00am Verdugo's Restaurant    PUBLIC WELCOME
===============================

 You can have your immigration photos taken for about 100 pesos in downtown La Paz on Revolucion between Degolado y 16th if September.  All they need to know is what document the photos are for.  Walmart, Home Depot, Soriana etc, etc. are usually the price leaders, and I don't mean in a good way.  The markets and street vendors in el centro, including the hardware stores and the Isste supermarket are very competitive and many times cheaper then the "big box" stores.   In addition to benefiting your pocketbook you are keeping the money local and benefiting the local community while enjoying the rich Mexican culture.  I almost forgot to mention, with the exception of Isste the helpers and cashiers try really hard to help you.  This week's tip, for a good chuckle and some amazing colorful sights visit the variety store El Super on Degollado between Revolucion and Serdan.   Wendy y Bobby Ray  weebray@gmail.com

OPEN DISCUSSION ON INTERNET HACKING/PHISHING/BAD INTERNET BEHAVIOR!

a.  I just want to add to the conversation about the hacking and phishing. I got a message that looked like it was Yahoo telling that I was being compromised and might want to change my password. I did that and then walked away. Came back within an hour and had lost all my contacts. I got in touch with Yahoo and they were able to let me change the password again as I caught the problem while it was happening. Lost all e-mail addresses. I still had my folders so sent them to a new e-mail address. I canceled that account and then went to all my other e-mail addresses and made a very complicated password for them. That is the secret to stopping them from getting into your account and not opening anything that comes to you, unsolicited by you.
 Another thing is do not let people send to your 'clean' account if they are including you in the To or CC line with other addresses. BCC is the only way to send to more than one person. When you are included in the TO line or CC line, the people receive your address and sometimes send to a bunch of other people in their address book and there you are .......... out there to people you have no idea who they are. (and they sometimes forward to other strangers and it continues on and on). suncountrylady@yahoo.com

ROAD REPORTS

a.  My husband and I crossed at Tecate on June 2 on our way to LB.  Aside from the normal small patches of road repair, there were a few items worth noting.  These notes are all written from a southbound perspective, so you’ll have to reverse them for a northbound trip:
·         On Mex 3, starting in El Testerazo, there is major construction until KM 60.  It is very passable, UNLESS you are towing something wide.  The road is dirt and not quite 2 lanes wide, more like 1-3/4.  It looks like this project will be there for quite a while.
·         On Mex 1, south of Ensenada and just past the newly constructed immigration/military checkpoint, there is a dirt road detour about ˝-mile long.  The trucks had to take it very slow, so we all spent some  extra time getting through there. 
·         On Mex 1, as you climb out of Loreto up over the Gigantes, there is a long section of dirt single track on that steep, twisty section of road.  They are holding up one direction of traffic for 10-15 minutes at a time and you end up bunched  up behind big-rigs and buses through the whole section with no opportunity to pass. 
·         On Mex 1,halfway between Constitution and La Paz there is a gravel detour near Las  Pocitas from KM 105-98. 
Safe travels, Julie   bajamillertime@comcast.net

BAJABIZ - Repeat every TWO weeks. 5 lines/10-15words per line/50 words total

a.  We have been preparing US expatriate tax returns for Gringos in Mexico for the last 20 years. We have helped hundreds of clients  catch up with their US tax filing requirements when they have fallen behind. We understand Mexican tax law and can help integrate your US taxes with your Mexican taxes to give you the ultimate tax savings.
       We are currently in Cabo San Lucas and will be there for another month helping clients. All services are also provided by internet, fax, phone and email.  Download our tax questionnaire at www.TaxMeLess.com.
       Your  2010 return is due 6/15/11,  but can be extended until 10/15/11 by filing form 4868 prior to that date.
       We recommend you read the 2011 IRS Voluntary Offshore Disclosure Program (the link is on our website) if you have foreign corporations, fideicomisos, foreign bank accounts, etc. that you have not filed the appropriate forms for. This program expires 8/3/11 and can reduce or eliminate your penalties.
       The IRS now has collection agents assigned to collect from Americans living in Mexico. They have hired 2200 new agents to work on collecting from Americans living abroad. Therefore, the "good old days" are disappearing fast for Americans living in Mexico who thought you could just forget about your US Tax filing requirement. They are now also tracking your trips in and out of the US and have connected your passport to your social security number.
       Our return preparation rates are reasonable and we offer the complete privacy of attorney - client privilege. We look forward to helping you. Don D. Nelson, Attorney, CPA. Email me at ddnelson@gmail.com or call me in Mexico at 624-174-2046. My US number is 949-480-1235.
