You should try looking on your ceiling. That's where my clients look when I ask for specific details, like mileage or charitable contributions. :dunno:

So I guess YOUR crystal ball is broken too??

I had one lady take a hissy fit over my leaving off her middle initial (which wasn't on the prior-year return self-prepared, or ANY of her various forms). Oy. Get a grip, people. The IRS wants your MONEY, not your name. That's in next year's reg's to be issued...

No, just moving your family and household goods. Some closing costs add to the basis of the home.

My son caught a chicken snake. My first attempt a censorship, BTW. Hope that tape does not hurt coming off.

Shut up. LOL

I like round numbers. I respond with an extension form, also in round numbers. That'll do until after Apr 15.

It's March, and we all gave up sleep for Lent, or for tax season! One of my clients just wrote (in the same email where she gave me her rental expenses in very round numbers) that it's "almost over for you." Yeah, if doing 3/4 of my returns, my biggest returns, my returns with the Forms 1099-B in the hundreds of pages, feels like "almost." I don't see it as almost over; I see it as buried and no light at the end of the tunnel, just a cave in. I realize that I'm being very glass-half-empty here. And I promised myself that my new motto is "Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not get bent out of shape." - Betsy Shirley (Buck Brannaman's foster Mom in the great film Buck).

It was started by satan, trying to push me over the edge. These are the same people who give me interest expense for personal loans, and try to deduct "aid" to their grown kids. But, somehow, it is of utmost importance to get this middle initial right.
