Dad life, aspiring hiker trash, Bay Area sports, and taxes in that specific order. Just trying to help people & be a decent human. Dodgers fans pay double - sorry, I don’t make the rules.
I know it doesn’t matter but it drives me bonkers when a new client drops off their PY return and it’s stapled like this. FFS people, take 15 seconds and line up the papers first. Whenever I see this I just know there’s an invoice in there for $169 with line item for “tech fee - $13”

Rather than flying Allegiant to LV this year, I think I’ll just make the 10 hour drive.

Bottom line wasn’t red
Now you’ve a balance due
Be kind to your tax pro
Or they’ll fucking fire you

Who do I hope wins the Super Bowl? Kendrick.

Who do I hope loses? The Chiefs AND the Eagles.

The day that thing happens that we’re collectively looking forward to now, the celebrations will be unlike anything this country has seen. The unprecedented time we deserve tbh

Welcome to the Leopards Eating Peoples’ Faces Era 2.0. I hope every one of them gets exactly what they voted for. God speed, friends. God speed.

This was prompted by a potential new client who hasn’t filed since 2019 for his 1040 or S-Corp. The S-Corp in 2019…$3k in rev, $8k in exp and $300 for the 1120-S prep. They’re in for a hell of a shock when the $11k+ in IRS penalties finally roll in.

This is the year I finally start pricing engagements correctly for entities that are multiple years behind and also for clients that need to undo holdco entities that Wealth Builders, Anderson, or some other huckster sold them on without properly educating them about.

I'm gonna have to just accept that this orange piece of shit is batshit and prepare myself that there is a high degree of likelihood that he will say the dumbest shit imaginable day after day after day for the next 4 years and all his cultists will laugh and clap like seals?

Aren't I?

Fuck tradition. My dad’s obituary is listing who he’s survived by in order of importance to him, not relation.

I woke up today craving McDonald’s breakfast with PANCAKES so clearly covid ruins your taste.

Been home sick the last three days and haven’t watched a single episode of the Price Is Right or Saved By The Bell. I can’t help but feel like I’m letting my fellow millennials down.

Today feels like a good day to start my own accounting. The era of running on vibes (aka “there’s money in my account so it’s fine”) is over. Time to see what I’ve actually done & tax plan for myself.

And what do we do with the carbon monoxide detector that starts chirping in the middle of the night? That’s right, we put it in the freezer so we don’t have to listen to it while we sleep. Speaking of sleep, anyone else really sleepy all of a sudden?

I can prepare your tax returns, but I have to have all the pieces.

Not sure I can beat the prep fee of $169.95 this new client paid last year.

No bigger tax cut than that of a willful lack of enforcement.
