It's been another slice of heaven

Well for the first time in a few years, I can go home at 5:00 like a normal human being on April 15th (or the equivalent depending when the IRS gets a bonus holiday).  The last few years I was fighting getting extensions out into the evening.  I have managed to kick my addiction to this place and amazingly that resulted in being ahead of the game for my own business.  That doesn't mean I don't spend a fair amount of time here, but I have managed to cut back a little talking about important issues like Burger King and Google reviews.  I still do enjoy helping a few lost souls here and trying to provide a smile here and there for all of the overworked folks that visit this place.  So for most of the regulars here, see you tomorrow since the beat still goes on.  For those of you closing up shop for awhile or heading off to some exotic vacation like spending two weeks in Pittsburgh, have fun and always remember that the only two sure things are death and taxes.  And to be honest, I would rather be spending time dealing with folks that are alive and flexible rather than stiff --------- although we do run into a few folks here that lack a sense of humor so it is hard to tell the difference between them and someone that an undertaker works with.  Congratulations to everyone that survived another tax season.  For those that are thinking of retiring always remember Garrison Keillor's profound thought - it is a proven fact that 100% of retired people die.  So keep working, keep living.

I've sent multiple sources.. my reviews, tons of them never speak of another preparer also. not sure why it is so difficult to believe.   Camp 1040 will be 20 minutes from Medina. they can see for themselves.. 


@Jim-from-Ohio ..man..how long did it take you write all those reviews??

Meanwhile, as Stephen Colbert would say ...

Some H&R Block customers dealt with hours of outages ahead of the tax day deadline on Monday night, the tax filing service confirmed on social media.

In a post on the social platform X around 11:15 a.m. EDT Monday, H&R Block said an issue prevented some desktop software users from e-filing their returns. “Online clients” and those working with a professional virtually or in person were not impacted, the company said. Shortly after 3:45 p.m. EDT, H&R Block said the issue was resolved.

“We are happy to report the issue that was affecting a small number of our downloadable desktop software users has been resolved,” the company wrote on X.

Data from Downdetector, which uses self-reports of service disruptions, shows the apparent outages began around 9 p.m. EDT on Sunday and rose throughout the night, before falling Monday morning. Starting around 6 a.m., the outages began to climb back up. At its peak around noon EDT, nearly 1,700 outages were reported before the number began to drop around 3:20 p.m., Downdetector reported.

Was a long season but a good one.  The program worked extremely well for me this year and absolutely made things more productive.  I guess year three using ProSeries Professional allowed for a bit more familiarity.  But most of the thanks goes to those on this board who freely provide all their insight and support.  It's very much appreciated.  Wishing everyone more relaxing days in the months to come.  Until we "meet" again.  🙂

I also thought the program worked exceptionally.  yesterday we were all up against the deadline.. client comes in with a hurricane disaster loss.. not many hurricanes in Medina Ohio and the casuaty loss deduction has been severely cut back as far as who can claim it. never did a hurricane loss deduction before.. client has the diaster number.. followed the form in ProSeries. put the disaster loss number in the program and other data regarding the loss.. presto.. calculation was done flawlessly.

I agree with Jim and Godfather. So far this tax season has worked out pretty well with me with Pro Series Professional. But a lot of that has to do with all of the good people on this forum who leave valuable information that helps us. Thank you. I appreciate it.

It has been a slice, I'm not exactly what it's been a slice * of  * tho.

Fewer returns on extension than ever in my tax pro life.  And several are actually done but on hold for SEPP funding reasons, or waiting to see if Congress ever decides on the taxability of the PGE 'fire' settlements.

Unfortunately, Lacerte has been the MOST unstable it has been in maybe forever?  

But I know I'm way, way too old to switch.

And I really think quite a few of my clients have become a lot dumber.  Or, maybe I'm just less tolerant?   

Major employee issues - I feel like I spent a lot of time "herding cats "

Payroll day, so I've to be at the office to supervise.  Tomorrow tho....sit in the sun!!

Thanks to all that chimed in here to either help, or entertain (hi Jeff)

I found out that my Intuit paycheck is the same whether I am here to help or here to entertain, so I prefer the entertainment side.  I hope my road show is worth the entertainment fee that Intuit has built into your invoice 😁

We need entertainment for what we have to put up with doing what we do. That's probably what some think that some of my posts are. But every once in awhile I have a good post, apparently, like the EFTPS will require multi-factor Authentication. I actually didn't know that there would be that many responses, but apparently many people didn't know. Even a blind squirrel like me finds an acorn once in awhile.😉🐿
