I had signed up for the NAEA message board, getting daily summaries, some time ago.  I rarely look, and have never bothered to respond.  Well, I responded to one and let me warn you all to stay away from that group!  First off, any response seems to reset your daily summary to an email with every. bleeping. message. posted - and I could find no way to reset that (ended up unsubscribing completely).  Then, the board seems to be full of full-of-themselves persnickety nit-pickers who have NO concept of taking facts and circumstances and doing the best you can do with the information at hand.  

Stay here, where we fuss at each other in love, and understand that we're all trying to do our best for our clients, not trying to prove how we can out-cite everyone else.  Jeezle louizle I love you guys and just got my nose rubbed in how much.  And Rita - there are some folks over on another board who could use some of your hugs.  Just sayin'!

persnickety...  placing too much emphasis on trivial or minor details; fussy......requiring a particularly precise or careful approach

                                                 Catherine, waiting for her next client....

Bill, enjoying his mid day lunch......

Everybody else, just trying to keep office spirits High.....

A visitor from Holland was chatting with his American friend and was jokingly explaining about the red, white and blue in the Netherlands flag.

"Our flag symbolizes our taxes," he said. "We get red when we talk about them, white when we get our tax bill, and blue after we pay them."

"That's the same with us," the American said, "only we see stars, too."

                                                                ...Why I had to quit doing tax returns...

I'm glad to hear that, Rita

Sad about the loss of your Tennessee neighbors.

All you folk's work is very valuable ...... 

And here's proof of what Max is saying......

                                      But....

Worry not... for a bigger dude is watching out for Ya...

                                                                                                         FOR HIRE............

Its a wonderful thing when we solve our own problems..You will be much stronger now ..Cathy.  Good luck with this tax season,  Elrod.

Now that is some funny stuff........Thank You.

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today issued the 2020 optional standard mileage rates (PDF) used to calculate the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business, charitable, medical or moving purposes.

Beginning on January 1, 2020, the standard mileage rates for the use of a car (also vans, pickups or panel trucks) will be:

57.5 cents per mile driven for business use, down one half of a cent from the rate for 2019,

17 cents per mile driven for medical or moving purposes, down three cents from the rate for 2019, and

14 cents per mile driven in service of charitable organizations.

Important..???????

Federal law requires tax preparers to create and follow a written information security plan to protect their clients’ data. The IRS, state tax agencies and the tax industry are reminding tax professionals of these requirements as a part of their security summit.
