THE RENEWALS ARE OUT!

I just received an e-mail so I had to check it out.  I see that overall, my decrease was........................ oh wait a second we all know we never see a decrease.  My overall bill went up 7.8%, but the thing that caught my eye, Quick Employer Forms went up from $189.00 to $338.53.  For anybody that is bad at math, that is a bit north of 7.8%.  What's up with that increase?  Not enough folks are using it so they had to make up for the shortfall or so many people are using it after the new e-file requirements went into effect so now we can gouge them?

First deadline achieved.  Many missing documents arrived.  Completed many returns.  Extended the rest.

@IRonMaN They are not the only one sending out renewals, one of the tax reference publications sent me a renewal already. I don't renew anything this early. Could the answer to your last question may be the latter part? Every time the politicians pass e-file mandates and requirements they make it difficult for our clients and us, and who do you think gets the short end of the stick? Or whatever the saying is. Heidi is shh.

Short end, long end, it is still the end of the stick.  Just give Heidi the middle of the stick so she can really hang on to it.

@IRonMaN    <<Quick Employer Forms went up from $189.00 to $338.53. >>

I just do a handful of 1099's.   Any suggestions or alternatives?  At best it has been a bit cheesy. 

If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround

I knew there are other systems out there but it is nice to see what people that I trust here are using.

@Jim-from-Ohio - did I read that right.  You bring that car to cruises or circuses?  It looks a little like one of those little cars that a bunch of clowns pop out of at the circus.  You don't do a little moonlighting that requires you to wear a red nose, do you? 😉

Here is a link to a guy that likes to collect cars, primarily muscle cars.  I went through the place about 4 or 5 years ago and hopefully I didn't ruin the finish on any of the cars by drooling on them.  The guy is part of the Marvin family and making windows has been very good to the family --------- and the family has been very good to the Warroad, MN area.  Hopefully you don't run into storage problems Jim so that you have to build your own shed.  😀
