Yardley CPA Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 As we approach April 15th, I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone on this forum for their time and their sage advice. It's comforting to know that we can turn to this page, add our questions and receive feedback from a professional (some more than others ) group of preparers. I appreciate everyone's input! Thanks also to Eric for all he has done and continues to do for the site! I plan on sending my donation in the next day or two! I hope everyone enjoys a more relaxed few months...until it all starts up again! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kea Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I agree. As a sole proprietor, I would NEVER make it through tax season without this group. Thanks for all then answers - even when my questions are just due to stupid brain flatulence! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitaB Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Never been more ready for the fat lady to sing. And thanks to everybody as well. Don't disappear; I'll be lonely. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry D EA Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I ditto everything said above. I would personally feel totallty lost without this board. A lot of us have been here since the CCH inhalation of the old ATX and it sure is nice to know that God willing we will all be here through the summer and next season. Don't know about the rest of you but I completed and filed a bunch of extensions tonight and transmitted a batch of returns. All accepted and all is well. Tomorrow at least three procrastinators are coming. Tomorrow at midnight will be heaven!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janitor Bob Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Ditto.....glad it's almost over (except for the extensions)...and grateful for all of you and this forum...I'm not sure Eric really understands how valuable this forum is to its members 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joanmcq Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I already told a client the shop,was closing up by 5pm tomorrow. No ifs, ands, or buts. Gave him the info to do a credit card pay since he's out of town until tomorrow night. Just emailed another client of their balances due, and have another RDP couple to file extensions for; another Sch C! Ugh. And gotta mail my own estimates. So frikkin tired. But it's Blacklist night, and there's a lunar eclipse. And I know y'all get quieter in the off season, but I'm happy y'all are here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Raining and snowing here, so no chance of seeing the "blood moon." All kinds of crazies predicting tragedies of all sorts... I will just wake up tomorrow like it is the next day. I would LOVE to be able to view and photograph the eclipse... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NECPA in NEBRASKA Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I have to miss it. My son invited me to take off and go out in the country with him at 2, but I will still be plugging away. He has an excellent camera, so at least I will see the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 There's too much cloud cover here to see the eclipse too. We should be able to see the Lyrid meteor showers in a few days though. I finished the extensions, first quarter estimates and the couple of payroll taxes over the weekend, and my last return was picked up at 8:45 am 4/14. I took the day off and will take tomorrow off as well. Mom has doctor appts Tues and Wed, and then other errands with her that have been on hold on Thursday.

joanmcq Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 The eclipse viewing is going to be excellent here. Clear night; I can just pop out of my office onto my roof balcony & see it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I'm going out to see if I have a good view or not. One huge one to prepare, really fat 1099-B and K-1s and SE and.... Just finished their partnership. Then it's e-filing extensions, but CT doesn't receive via my software so have to move over to their site after I finish federal and NY and other states. Spent the last several days explaining to people why they owe so much (you made $35,000 more in SE; you w/h $3,500 less, you had no w/h because you quit your job, you took retirement distributions or unemployment benefits or..., you reduced your w/h instead of raising it, you paid off your mortgage, etc.). Back to work. It's 77 degrees in here and hard to concentrate, getting sleepy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I saw the moon before the eclipse as the cloud cover was getting heavier. Will look up some pix on the internet today. Yes, Lion, it was getting warm in my office too - so I tried to open the window and the maintenance crews were out in the neighborhood with those frikken leaf blowers. Anytime the phone rang I had to close the window. Grrr. Today mild with rain, tonight cold with snow. Spring in New England! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 That spring is not isolated in New England. Here in Cincinnati, after weekend temps of 80, we have a lovely dusting of snow on the ground and all the flowering trees and bushes. High of 40 today.I really hope it stays above freezing by the time I return from my dive trip. We bought new glass double doors in January which are still waiting to be installed as it hasn't been warm enough to be without doors for a couple of hours. I am hoping they will be as lovely as I recall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 We have beautiful springs here in the NE. And if we're lucky, they happen on a weekend when people can enjoy them. I think ours for this year was yesterday, though. Tonight and tomorrow we go back to winter briefly and then I'm sure we'll go back to alternating between freezing and broiling, until we stick to just broiling.

Margaret CPA in OH Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Have the magnolias on Comm Ave bloomed yet? I used to live at Beacon and Fairfield and was in awe the first year I saw them. Simply gorgeous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Nothing is even as far as budding yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanmcq Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I have stopped to smell my roses twice today. I've a HUGE climbing rose that I've not pruned and it's twining into the mulberry tree near it, as tall as the garage and absolutely covered in blooms. So fragrant I can smell them from up on the balcony. Then there are at least three more blooming, plus irises, and vinca, and lavender & sage. I love spring in my yard!
