Everyone: What do you do in regards to #SelfCare and a bit of respite from the storm. Me (at my local aviary):

I used AI to generate this song I called Tax Season suno.com/s/fdd3i5GonJ0q… #TaxTwitter

@NatashaCL7 I liked the selfie not that it’s your last.

This is my last selfie on this app.

@tax_birdie @AccountingAsArt I understand his situation, being unemployed for six of the past eight months. I should’ve communicated better and acknowledged his new W2 and marketplace resolution info sooner. However, I’m not sure that justifies a refund of fees.

@AtkinsonBrent @AccountingAsArt Sorry, no. They didn't know about a job? That is a life skill issue.

Hey Gang! Whether you're working today or not. Have your season scheduled or not. Feel good about where you're at or not... I see you. You are doing good work. I am proud of you.

@TaxSlayer Thank you for the information. I will contact TaxSlayer Pro customer support at that number.

@TaxSlayer I just switched from TaxSlayer Pro Desktop to ProWeb. Where do I find the client letter and privacy letter and include it with the client copy of the tax returns?

@AndrewOakleyCPA @taxchic_k Yes 👍

To all the married couples, STOP IT WITH USING ONLY ONE EMAIL ADDRESS. #TaxTwitter

Hello again. I'm checking to see if there are any mentors out there who can help me. Please retweet for exposure. Thank you and have a great day!

Do you print on one side or both sides of the paper for the client copy? #TaxTwitter

@AccountingAsArt I go NA beers but I’ll meet up with any of you. #TaxTwitter

@TheNFTCPA Oof. 😅

What every Tax Pro on #TaxTwitter loves waiting for.

Where are The Mash fans?😂

@AccountingAsArt Hah. That’s perfect.

#TaxTwitter … thinking about making this my email signature…

@AccountingAsArt Wait… Lol

"My FA said to tell you I contributed to a ROTH and that I can write that off..." So it begins...

@AccountingAsArt Thank you. I needed…we needed to hear this.

I’ve often not posted anything that could be considered controversial because I don’t like confrontation. I’ve seen the dogpiles and the misconstructions and I didn’t want to set up myself up for that. I no longer feel I have the luxury of staying silent. I’m not here to debate. I’m not here to be political. I’m not here to be confrontational. I’m not here to try to change your mind. And, I’m not here to have you change mine. I was born and raised in Minnesota. I’ve lived in Minnesota my whole life. Even in the winters when I continuously question my choice to do so. I grew up on the streets of St. Paul in the 1970s and 80s. My parents fed, cared for and drove around the neighbor kids and the neighborhood parents fed, cared for and drove around me. It’s just what you did.   I grew up understanding that you looked out for the people around you. Not because you would get “likes” or accolades but because it was the right thing to do.  I still believe that. I believe it is more important to care for your community than to think yourself above it. I grew up saying the Pledge of Allegience in school. I grew up listening to Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech every January.  I grew up believing in a government that was, “Of the people, By the people, For the people.”  And I understood that to mean ALL people.  Not just the ones who looked like me or talked like me or believed like me. And, now I’m grown up and what’s happening to Minnesota breaks my heart.  We are a good people. Yes, we can passive agressive.  Yes, we are often too stoic for our own good. Yes, we have a funny accent. Yes, we really do think the rest of the world is wrong for playing, “Duck Duck Goose.” I’m not saying we are a perfect people, but I really do believe we are a good people. There’s no need for us to go after each other because we live in a climate where the weather’s often more than happy to kill us. In the past few weeks we’ve seen American citizens being murdered by federal American agents IN AMERICA.  Minnesota residents are being murdered by ICE.  I’ve been struggling to bring into words what I feel. And, I’ve been struggling, knowing that even if I can find the words, they won’t make much of a difference out there.  What I’ve realized is that even if they don’t make a difference to anyone else, they make a difference to me.  Knowing what I believe makes a difference to me. So here’s what I believe: I believe there is more good in people than not. I believe in community. I believe in being a safe person for others. I believe all actions come down to one of two things:  Love or Fear. I believe love is stronger than fear. I believe in love. If you are also struggling with what’s happening here, please know you are not alone.  Please know there are many many more of us who are also struggling, we’re just not very good at admitting it. I believe good will win and I believe Minnesotans will lead the way.

Happy New Year, everyone. Just chiming in to get in the loop for the upcoming tax season. #TaxTwitter

@WTofficial Hydra for me.

You’re stranded on an island, but you can take ONE Within Temptation album with you. Which one will you take? Listen to all our essential songs: wt.lnk.to/wtofficial | #MusicMonday #WTCommunity #WithinTemptation

@WTofficial Please don’t make me choose only one. I’d give up my first born before I had to choose only one WT song to listen to forever. But if I had to choose for me it would be the song that first captured my attention to WT Paradise (What About Us?). The next would be Memories and Angels

You can only listen to ONE WT song forever: what’s it gonna be? 🎧 #FridayFeeling #WTFans

Haha. So true.
