RitaB Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) "I just want to sit down with you and discuss some things." It's just part of being on the tax season struggle bus that people start businesses in June and want to "discuss" January - April, isn't it? Every. Year.

rfassett Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 "I just want to sit down with you and discuss some things." It's just part of being on the tax season struggle bus that people start businesses in June and want to "discuss" January - April, isn't it? Every. Year. It is way too early in the season for these things to be bothering us. Make no mistake - they are bothering us. But I think all the angst surrounding this season has us all on edge. I am also fighting the battle to tell some folks to take a flying leap and I will supply the take-off module. We are still knee deep in payroll reports and of the 60 some that we have done we have had to re-do two. Who told these folks that they are allowed to critique our work. Fact of the matter, neither mistake was ours. One duplicated a paycheck and did not bother to tell us. The other forgot to include the pension contribution for the Pastor. On another note, I had a call today from a long time client that bought a pickup truck from a dealer on the other side of the state line. Client calls to ask me how he pays state sales tax on the truck. What, the dealer did not know the answer to that question? Fortunately that call came today and not a month from now. I still have some stored up "nice thoughts". I used a couple of those up today. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb39 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I don't know how other states handle it, but if we sell a vehicle in WI to a resident of another state, they take all the paperwork with them and register the vehicle and pay the sales tax in their state of residence. It would make sense to me that this would be a general rule. We have a temporary plate that they can use to drive the vehicle home (cardboard). Actually everyone who called or came in today has been very sweet. BUT, it is now 7:30 PM and the phone is still a ringin'. I am really, really tired.

I am really, really tired. Everybody but that guy wanting to "discuss" was great. He's late on every sales tax return, late to pay me, then wants to know what exactly counts as a business expense. Uh, what you actually pay for a business purpose. For example, my fees, oh, here's another copy of the statement I gave you last week, this will count for 2015, thank you. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulldogTom Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Knock yourself out, John. And if you see my slacker client, knock him out, too. Someone please send a truckload of chocolate to TN in a hurry. There is a storm brewing out there that might do real damage if there is not an intervention.

Something you do at your desk because one of the front office people offered to g pick the food up. Lunch is that collection of those brief moments between pages on the computer that you take a bite of the food brought to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then people stopped bringing me food. Go figure! Does a bag of pretzels and a reese's peanut butter cup count? That is what I had between pages today. So THAT is what a lunch is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb39 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 AH!!!!! My husband walked into my office and asked me if I would like to go out for lunch. Friday; big fish fry day in Wisconsin. We went. He drove my car, but he was my dinner guest. I'll take it any way I can get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
