1. The later you are, the more excited your dog is to see you. 2. The dog doesn't notice if you call it by another name. 3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor. 4. A dog's parents never visit. 5. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across. 6. You never have to wait for a dog; they're ready to go 24 hours a day. 7. Dogs find you amusing when you're drunk. 8. Dogs like to go hunting & fishing. 9. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, "If I died, would you get another dog?" 10. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away. 11. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a pervert. 12. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don't get mad. They just think it's interesting. 13. Dogs like to ride in the back of a pickup truck. 14. If the dog leaves, it won't take half your stuff.

Taxbilly, I think you are being KIND calling him dyslexic.

Represented a client during an IRS Audit this past October. The address where the auditor was supposed to go to was 517 Dove Street (office of the client). He showed up at 571 Dove Street, didn't get an answer at the door, and left. I sat with the client for 1.5 hours after the appointment time. We faxed the IRS Office in Columbus questioning why the auditor never showed up. I went back to my office, client called me about 2 hours later and told me what happened. He showed up the next day at the correct address. Don't understand why this happened, since the auditor had the correct address on the client paperwork. No-change audit, BTW.

Happy B-Day, Ray.

JB, your "I WANT BOTH" comment sounds a lot like most of my tax clients when it comes to the amount of their refund. BTW, how is the other tax prep guy (who used to post on this board) from Sidney doing? Forgive me, I don't remember his "Screen Name". Curious Booger

Yea, and base your fee on a percentage of the client's refund will make you even MORE money!!! Tongue-In-Cheek Booger

I'm here at my Steel Service Center Company (my REAL JOB) paying end of the year bills. Will start working on 1099's. W2's tomorrow. Have a Happy New Year (and a good tax season). Booger

Election Grimoire??? That's my neighbors name. Booger

I have to agree with your assessment. If I can LEARN NOT TO PUT MY FOOT IN MY MOUTH, I hope to have another good experience with the other people on this board. Booger

Got an ice storm in central Ohio last night around rush hour. Today, it is 50 and raining. Everybody have a great Christmas!! Santa Booger

Catherine, that was fantastic. Thank You. Booger

Got mine yesterday as well. "The Tax Book" hasn't arrived yet, however.

How's married life treating you? Anything new and exciting (???) happening in Sidney? Curious Booger

I've noticed that the PRICE of turbotax and some other "do it yourself" tax prep software is increasing to the point where some of us can actually compete with these products.

Thanks, zeke. Guess it's TRUE that "you get what you pay for"

I'm scheduled to do the webinar on December 24 at 1 PM. Thanks for your input, Mike.

Let's see.....LTCL of, say, $250,000. Will only take 83.33 YEARS to write-off!!

Thank You! May use you during tax season.

Posting of your fee structure would be nice.

Thanks Catherine & Lion for your input. Catherine, now you know why I LOVE you! XXOO Amorous (sp?) Booger

Thanks again. Old Jack, you're right about the client not setting up the COA or even knowing where to post items correctly. My approach is the following: 1. Set up the COA correctly 2. Review/analyze what is in each account 3. Create an Excel worksheet for my working trial balance 4. Give my AJE's to the client for booking The only thing that I'm using the remote access for is to "fix" the COA for the client. Booger

Thanks for all your responses. Found out that I can "remotely access" my clients quickbooks records and make the necessary changes (to a degree). Everybody have a great holiday season! Booger (Mike)

Thank you, Deb! I wanted to check out this board before I purchase Quickbooks Accountants Edition. Have a great Thanksgiving!! Booger (Mike)

Hello everybody. An out-of-state client of mine is using Quickbooks Premier Contractor Edition (2007). Not having any exposure to Quickbooks myself, I have some questions: 1. If I want my client to download their quickbooks files on a CD and send the CD to me for adjusting/tax prep, do I have to have the SAME version/type of Quickbooks to access their files? 2. Will Quickbooks allow me to adjust & reclass items, download the changes to a CD, so that I can send the CD to my client to upload? 3. How difficult is it to use Quickbooks? I believe that it must be pretty easy, since it is made for non-accountants. Any suggestions/comments/advice would be appreciated. Thanks Booger

AMEN, Old Jack (couldn't have said it better myself).
