IT’S HERE!

Joy to the world - tax season’s here.
I’ll soon be flush with cash!
Let every client be organized,
and give me all I need, and give me all I need,
and give me all I need to prepare their returns!

My 37th tax season has officially begun - the floodgates have been open!

And now for what will be a February 1st tradition here at THE WANDERING TAX PRO - “The Twelve Days of Tax Season” -

On the first day of tax season my client gave to me a Closing Statement for the purchase of a home.
.
On the second day of tax season my client gave to me 2 W-2 forms.
.
On the third day of tax season my client gave to me 3 mortgage statements.
.
On the fourth day of tax season my client gave to me 4 Salvation Army receipts.

On the fifth day of tax season my client gave to me 5 Form K-1s.

On the sixth day of tax season my client gave to me 6 1099s for dividends.
