I am happy to say that the fine print has been signed with regard to the divorce action between my now ex-wife, Jose Rodgers and myself David Ingram. Jose owned the CEN-TA Business in Vancouver but as part of our settlement, the files and "business" has been turned over to me. The end result is that I will be taking responsibility for the files and clients while Jose returns to the Honduras. It is not what I wanted to do. I was happy continuing with my focus on US / Canada matters and was "sort of" trying to get out of being in the "Canadian" income tax business. In fact, I tried three times to get George Hatton and Sonja Clark to buy out the business but no deal could be made and my understanding is that they both intend to retire soon anyway so that would not have been a guaranteed continuation of service. I intend to stay in this business until I turn 145 so will be here for a while. And, I do not ever intend to work out of an office again. My home will be my castle and my office because I love working from home. However, my home is just not large enough to run a full scaled tax office out of either. As a consequence, I will be announcing a new office location for North Shore people with Canadian only returns in the near future and will be having another Canadian returns location at the office at 1764 West Broadway as well. I will continue to work from home. Stay tuned for those in the Greater Vancouver area. All US Canadian or out of town returns should continue to send anything to my home address at: David Ingram's US/Canada Services US / Canada / Mexico tax, Immigration and working Visa Specialists US / Canada Real Estate Specialists 4466 Prospect Road North Vancouver, BC, CANADA, V7N 3L7 Res (604) 980-0321 Cell (604) 657-8451 Bus (604) 980-0499 Fax (604) 980-0325 Email to taxman at centa.com www.centa.com www.david-ingram.com Be ALERT, the world needs more "lerts" ============================== I have lived and worked at this location since Dec 1969 and have great plans to remodel the house to make a nice suite of offices and give the kids more private quarters since I am invading the home with clients.
