And now what you have
been waiting a year for – my annual posting of:
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 (despite being no
longer deductible).
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!
--------------------
And so, the 2019 Tax
Filing Season – my 48th - officially begins. Open the floodgates and
bring on the 1040s!
As is my custom, due to
the demands of the filing season I will be taking my annual “tax season hiatus”
from posting to THE WANDERING TAX.
Between now and April 15th
I will barely have time to relieve myself let alone blog! Nor will I
have time to respond to comments. If a comment requires a response I will do so
after April 15th.
DO NOT EMAIL ME OR SUBMIT
COMMENTS WITH SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR 2018 TAX RETURN! ALL
SUCH ITEMS WILL BE PROMPTLY DELETED UPON DISCOVERY!
I am NOT accepting
any new 1040 clients (or any other kind of tax preparation clients). So, don’t
email me asking if I can prepare your 2018 tax returns. THE
ANSWER IS A MOST DEFINITE "NO".
I will be publishing a
WHERE THE FAKAWI post occasionally here at TWTP to keep my clients up-to-date
on my progress during the season and to report changes or additions to my tax
season policies and procedures. Clients can also keep track of my tax season
progress by following me at TWITTER (@rdftaxpro).
I realize that I am
abandoning you at a time when you may need me the most – but I need to make a
living!
I find it a bit amusing
that the period of time when TWTP gets the most “hits” is during the tax filing
season when I am not posting.
“Talk” to you when it is
all over!
