I only respond to surveys when I know my response is going to affect outcomes or future actions. You know, things like political surveys, Medicare Supplement signups, car warranty advisories, bank customer service follow-ups. All those things that really have an impact…

It is well worth 20 minutes of my day to provide input to the IRS. I'm a big believer in data acquisition, and I still hang onto what little hope I have left, because being hopeless is not an option.

Please tell me I'm not the only accountant geeky enough to plan out the meal prep timing on Excel!

To all you great Americans

The day after is a REALLY great day for the cook!!!

The day after is a great day too!

"Drake Software is looking for experienced tax professionals to work part-time assisting other tax pros with Drake Software. For tax season 2024, we are launching a pilot program to work with seasoned professionals who have Drake Software experience to work part-time in Customer Support. Interested?" This is one way to cut Human Resource Costs.

Two full days of Webinars attended via Iowa State University. I hope that I am at least a little smarter. A lot to absorb in a couple of long days. However, I am one step closer to Tax Prep Season 2024.

"Between Nov 27, 2023, and Jan 19, 2024, tax pros may be randomly selected to participate in a voluntary phone survey. This is not a scam. Please don’t hang up. Responses will help the IRS improve services to the tax pro community and the taxpayers they serve. The survey will be conducted by ICF, an independent research firm hired by the IRS. It will take about 20 minutes to complete, and covers topics including e-filing, due diligence requirements, data security, and electronic document submission. All responses are anonymous and confidential. Tax pros will not be asked to provide any personal info about themselves or their clients If tax pros are contacted, it will be Monday through Friday between 8:30AM - 6:30PM local time and they’ll see a Kansas City (816) area code on their caller ID." Hopefully this result in some useful changes.

Since they're not on my known caller list, they will reach my voice email. They're free to speak to it as long as they wish.

I agree, I am comfortable with 5 minutes, 10 minutes max.

I get to tell stories about the part of our family who were here before the pilgrims.

Of course mine has 11.
