Single Dad

Single Dad’s 10 memorable moments of the 2007-filing season. 1. Merry Christmas from the IRS 12/22/2006 @ 10:00am you put the client organizer’s in the mail explaining to clients e-filing availability beginning 01/12/2007; @ 3:30pm you learn “The extender return’s won’t be eligible for e-filing until after 2/1/2007.” Ooops mailed the organizers too soon! 2. Happy New Year from your family!a. 01/04/2007 your brother who chose to care for your children in exchange for free room & board during the tax season has abandoned ship. Hmmmmmm….Think he just wanted a free trip back to Sidney from Kentucky. You find yourself climbing 3 flight’s of steps cause the Dentist broke the elevator when moving out. “Gosh I gotta stop smoking!” 4. Instead of Good Pizza after work, your favorite Pizza Parlor now serves Burn’t Cheese Pizza! To beat it all while investigating the smoke in downtown, some crazy dude named Chaz (who stand’s on the corner drinking warm corona’s) run’s down the street after me yelling about the fire (I tried to keep walking like I didn’t know him, but he caught me) Janitor Bob I told you meeting Chaz was not a good idea, now my public image is forever tarnished with booze! 5. Barney Fife show’s up at the door on the 1st Saturday of the rush stating they found a Bomb, that will detinate 5 hour’s later and sound like a firecracker. A firecracker sound after sleeping with three kids in van for 5 hours! Where’s Andy when you need him! 6. Your car suddenly has no heat! You’ll figure it out in March after freezing to death in Jan & Feb that you’re an idiot who was not turning the switch the correct way after obtaining a short. DUH Dennis 7. Professional Snowball Fight! For representing my ex instead of me, I now hit you with a snowball and buy lunch for your son, on the condition he lock’s you in the closet at your office. Must admit I had some fun with that situation! 8. You wake up to 15 inches of snow, you must check your e-files based on the 24-hour rule. When looking outside you notice hmm….Driveway is blocked and no one is getting out. So only choice is to walk with three children thru 15 inches of snow to your office to check the e-file status. 9. You have a new office this season due to growth. It get’s cold and there’s a draft coming in and hitting you in the back. After freezing for 3 day’s the custodian while taking out the trash points out a little square in the paneling. Custodian’s comment is, did they not teach you how to turn on the heat in tax school! 10. You hire two tax preparers to help from the local college plus a receptionist who happens to be a neighbor looking for a job to save money for an upcoming wedding. Interestingly enough the preparers cannot figure out the tax software very well, nor can they apply the education in a work envioronment. In comes the neighbor without any explanation, and she has 10 complete return’s typed into the software, plus the office ready for paperless. Amount of time spent is equal to have of the two educated people combined. A prime example of who want's to work and who does not want to work!

Client's Bankruptcy was final in March 2006. Bank takes until September to Foreclose. Debt is cancelled as of 12/10/2006, bank send's 1099C showing the debt cancellation, and another form showing they abandoned the property. Interestly enough they get a refund if we don't consider the debt cancelled, and owe a bunch if we do. My head is spinning on this one, anyone have some input? Regards, Single Dad
