Now don't you feel all better?

Starting this discussion string with "Question".

How about something more descriptive!

Now, for your question:
1. I could do this return, but I don't have the time.
2. Stock? I didn't sell any stock? What 1099B? Basis? What's basis?
3. Can I come in Sunday?
4. 6:30 AM or 9:30 PM: This is your home phone and not your business phone? I woke you/wife/kids up?
5. My business didn't make any money. What, you don't know how to show that on the return?
6. I didn't make any money on that stock considering I held it for 30 years.
7. I sold my rental apartment building last January and I want to roll the gain into another one. I have two years, correct?
8. I sold my business equipment last January and I want to reinvest the money into some new equipment this year. What form does that go on?
9. What, you didn't open that evelope from that you received from the IRS 4 months ago?
(My question to my client)
10. I didn't think anything on that year-end letter that I didn't read pertained to me. Duh!
All that in one day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jiggers,

I'm open to a better description for this thread.

What is the most irritating thing your hear during tax season?

“Thanks. I’ll pay you when I get my refund.”

“So, I bet your getting kind of busy this time of year.”

“Charitable donations? What did we take last year?”

Hey we need to have a meeting at (church, club insert your own). How anount April 15 at 5:00 PM?

[Armando Beaujolais]

My reply to clients who way "What's the maximum" when I ask about charitable contributions:

"What's your net worth?"

Family Members

1. You are going to charge me? (I shop at their businesses/use their services/eat at their restaurants, whatever, and pay them!)
2. What about that $9,500 income you recieved as contract services? Yes, you must report it, I know about it. (They took their return elsewhere this year)
3. We have a family reunion scheduled for either the first or second weekend of April. Two-days long!
4. We have a wedding scheduled for March 25th.
5. I didn't think your cut-off date of March 20th pertained to me. (Bringing in stuff April 14th)
6. I need an appointment?

If you could just divorce in-laws! And not your wife!

2. April 14th. Here's my w2s can you get them done and mail them to me?
