THE TWELVE DAYS OF TAX SEASON

Now it is time for what you have been waiting a year for - the February 1st tradition here at THE WANDERING TAX PRO of posting “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.


On the seventh day of tax season my client gave to me 7 cancelled checks.


On the eighth day of tax season my client gave to me 8 useless items.


On the ninth day of tax season my client gave to me 9 medical bills.


On the tenth day of tax season my client gave to me 10 stock sale confirms.


On the eleventh day of tax season my client gave to me 11 employee business expenses.


On the twelfth day of tax season my client got from me a finished tax return, 11 employee business expenses, 10 stock sale confirms, 9 medical bills, 8 useless items, 7 cancelled checks, 6 1099s for dividends, 5 Form K-1s, 4 Salvation Army receipts, 3 mortgage statements, 2 W-2 forms, and a Closing Statement for the purchase of a home.


And, of course, on the thirteenth day of tax season the client gave to me a corrected Consolidated 1099 from Wells Fargo Advisors!

You Bob, great post. You really had me laughing, especially the amended Form 1099 after the filing. How often does this now happen. It is a wonder any tax preparer gets anything out the door!

Tax free poker said...

In Europe poker sites that are licensed inside the EU are able to offer their citizens tax-free poker winnings; how do you think rules in the US regarding poker winnings will be once poker is legalized?

Very funny post you've shared with us Bob. I really enjoyed it through all the time. especially the twelfth day when you gave your client the return of every thing that he gave you in last eleven days.
