The vibe for this season seems to be clients who want individual attention (no automated messages, lots of personal attention) at a low price point while expecting their taxpro to be a 24/7 working machine with no other clients or life.

This right here. Working hours that literally make you stupid and dead is no flex. Unfortunately it's not just the partners' mindsets that need to be fixed. It's the clients they've trained to expect this fuckery.

Seriously. Read the e-mail. Answer the question in the e-mail. Don't ask what else I need when I've already told you. OMG I cannot wait to get this one filed bc she is GONE next filing season.

Just want to give a #TiaraSquad shout out to #TaxTwitter . Try to let go of what you cannot control (clients). Try to break the habit of caring more than they do. Tax and money problems may be expensive, but are almost always fixable. Nothing is worth your life and your health.

All form formats should be standardized. Just finding the payer's EIN on a W2 is ridiculous.

It baffles me that the AICPA has not, amongst a host of other things, lobbied for standardized reports for 1099's. It seems that everyone and their grandma have come up with their own versions of 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-B and most of them SUCK ASS.

Newsflash for @CNN The IRS isn't the organization that MAKES changes to tax law. That's Congress.

Thanks to everyone who had something nice to say to or about me during a very rough holiday weekend. It wasn't the holiday. It was the two weeks leading up to the holiday. In a bit of a better space now, but maybe taking a breather. 1/2

You can be the boss you wish you had as a young professional or you can be the boss you actually had because "that's the way it's always been." Know better. Do better.

I'm staying mostly out of the "big discussion" here not because I don't care and definitely not because I don't have an opinion but more to stop myself from becoming vapor locked to the point I can't work on anything else.

#TaxSeason Taxpayers, if you want personal service from a small tax/accounting firm but also do not want to file an extension you need to start wrapping your mind around the fact that those two wants may be mutually exclusive. 1/3

New Mexico has lots of problems. September mornings aren't one of them. A refreshing 68 degrees. For those of you who think the weather here is similar to Phoenix it's really more like Denver. HIGH desert.
