I wish I had a nickel for everytime a client stopped while signing Form 8879 to ask what middle initial I had. Well, let's see, the same one I've had for 100 years now. Take a gander at your return one of these days when you have time. Just sign however the mood strikes you, or with your actual middle initial, and get outta here.

Get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, did we?
Only in government or politics is a "cut in spending" really an increase. It's just not as much of an increase as they wanted it to be, therefore a "cut". -

Middle Names
Some people do have two middle names such as George Herbert Walker Bush (President before Clinton) and Carl Ferdinand Howard Henry (Christian Theologian and founding editor of Christianity Today). I've never had such a client but I wonder whether it is important to use the same middle initial every filing season?Comment

Not really. You will find that even if they use one that is incorrect, it doesn't matter a whit. Note that I said "they" because I never make a mistake and put the wrong initial on the tax return......Comment
