TAX MAN: Dear Mr. Paxton, pay your taxes - The Garden Island (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hawaii has no shortage of celebrity property owners. What I mean is that there are famous people who own property — sometimes a lot of property — here in Hawaii even though said famous people might not live here. You might have heard of Larry Ellison or Mark Zuckerberg or Oprah Winfrey. Maybe even Roseanne Barr. And then there’s Ken Paxton. Yes, the Attorney General of Texas, candidate for senator. He is the guy who, on behalf of Texas, sued Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin, seekin
TAX MAN: Getting into tax court - The Garden Island (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here in Hawaii, it’s a big deal for the state to have a stable source of revenue. Tax lawsuits have the potential to tie that revenue up, so here, as well as in many other states, there are quirky rules that could turn out to be real traps that could cost you your money even though the government’s action might be illegal or unconstitutional.

TAX MAN: Education freedom tax credits - The Garden Island (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the new features in the tax landscape wrought by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is a program called Education Freedom Tax Credits. The program supports scholarships for American students, but in a very indirect way. It supports scholarship-granting organizations (SGOs), 501(c)(3) nonprofits that give out scholarship money to deserving primary and secondary school students. Under the program, credits don’t go to the SGOs. They go to individuals who donate money to the SGOs. The federal non
