@rledbetterCPA I had a rep on the line say the 'magic words' line on me as well years back. I said, 'is the magic word Please'? Rep said 'it sure is, penalty has been removed.

Called the IRS about a missed extension and it went as expected Agent: "You didn't file your extension." Me: It says here it's automatic. Agent: "It is automatic." Me: Great, so we're good? Agent: "Afraid not sir." Me: Why not? Agent: "You didn't file it." Me: You just said it's automatic. Agent: "The approval is automatic. The filing is not." Me: So I need to apply for something you automatically approve? Agent: "Correct." Me: I'm not sure we agree on what automatic means. Me: Do I at least need to sign it? Agent: "No signature required." Me: So it's an unsigned form requesting something you automatically grant? Agent: "Yes." Me: And if I don't do it? Agent: "5% penalty per month." Me: Per month?! Agent: "Plus interest." Me: On the penalty? Agent: "On the tax you owed and the penalty." Me: For not mailing in a blank form? Agent: "It's not blank. It has your name on it." Me: MY name. But not my SIGNATURE. Agent: "Correct. We don't need your signature. We just need to know you wanted it." Me: I DID want it. Everyone wants it. Who wouldn't want it? Agent: "Automatic upon request sir." Me: That's not what automatic means. Agent: "It is here." Me: Is there anything at all I can do about the penalties? Agent: "Did you e-file or mail it?" Me: This was six months ago. I have no idea. Agent: "Well if you mailed it, you'd just need a certified mail receipt to prove it was sent. That would clear the whole thing up." Me: So what's stopping me from just getting an old certified mail receipt and sending that in? Agent: "..." Agent: "Would you like to continue discussing tax fraud on a recor---?" Me: Let's move on. There's nothing that could get me out of these penalties? Agent: "Well... you could always say the words." Me: What words? Agent: "You don't know the words?" Me: I absolutely do not know the words. Agent: "That's a shame. Is there anything else I can help you with today?"

@TeamShieldBSC Switched plans within Blue Shield, and had a claim that's always been accepted before for my son suddenly be denied. Can you please help me?

@PGATOUR2K I have a switch 2!

Got a Nintendo Switch 2? 👀 Drop a comment below… a few of you might get a surprise 🤭

@QuickBooks Never had this happen before, but so far every W3/W2 efiled this year is being rejected. Everything else going through no problem. Is this a system-wide issue?

@adammarkowitzEA @mountainwesttax Is it just me, or are acceptance notices really slow this year? In the past I've always gone to bed knowing that everything was accepted. Last night I had over 20 that still were stuck on 'sent to IRS'. Wild

@mountainwesttax I was waiting on one asshole to sign. I just told her off.

I’m waiting on two 8879s and I don’t think these people realize my bedtime is in five minutes

@SD_Comic_Con First time since returning registration started that I didn’t get any days.

In today's sale if you were eligible, were you able to get badges? #SDCC

@LorcanaRestocks Is anyone actually getting this? Every time I get an alert, it tells me it's sold out before I can check out. Been trying for days and it's the same thing every time.

🛎️ IN STOCK ALERT 🛎️ Magic Marvel's Spider-Man Bundle: Gift Edition is in stock at Amazon for $89.99 (MSRP) trackalacker.com/products/showc… As of 09/10/25 12:25 PM EDT #Ad

@SD_Comic_Con Really a pet peeve when companies don’t follow their own rules they set forth. Just like when they sell exclusives on the floor, and one minute they say come back at noon, only for you to show up and find out they opened at 11 and line is capped again

Re: Brawl Stars. The company themselves posted the presale info. Truly do not think it went up too early — we were also told tickets were launching today. We'll see if they drop more tomorrow for the general sale though! #SDCC

@JScottCampbell @comiccon @TanyaLehoux I get it. I've been thinking for years that SDCC has got to be hitting critical mass. With online shopping and social media presence so big these days, it's got to be harder to justify the ever-increasing costs. If I didn't live in SD, I'd reconsider going.

@Mattkmason @comiccon @TanyaLehoux I love SDCC and I’ll definitely be back, but yeah, the costs have gotten really insane over the years.

🌴🦕👙🦖Announcing a pre-@comiccon DROP this coming Saturday!: Our encore Artist Exclusive of #Rogue: #TheSavageLand #5! A wrap-around cover featuring savage colors by @TanyaLehoux On sale starting THIS Saturday 7•12•2025, ONLY at jscottcampbell.com !

@JScottCampbell @comiccon @TanyaLehoux Oh wow! I thought you just weren’t going, but that the booth was still going to be there. So sad, hope to see you next year! Always made your exclusives my priority every year. I’m sure with the online store being so successful, the costs aren’t really necessary anymore

@Mattkmason @comiccon @TanyaLehoux Not exhibiting at SDCC this year.

@SD_Comic_Con @Comic_Con Just my guess, but probably not a good sign for list of exhibitors. Gonna be some no-shows

Please, @Comic_Con, can we have the floor map/exhibitor list?

@SD_Comic_Con do you know if @JScottCampbell is going to have a booth this year? He posted that he’s not going to be at #sdcc this year, but just wondering if the booth and/or exclusives will still happen.

@Chrissie_Zullo are you doing any #sdcc exclusives or commissions?

@PacSurfliners any reason why the southbound 10.10p train outta LA (794) tomorrow the 2nd is now showing ‘service disruption’ on the app?

@RightHandRed11 @Lin_in_NJ Seriously, who cares what Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock say?

@Lin_in_NJ Lmao that you think celebrity appearances determine how people vote.

I'm in NJ and Channel 2 CBS NY just said that Taylor Swifts plane just landed in Chicago about 30 minutes ago. Beyonce is already in Chicago as of noon time. Big names for the closing night on the DNC perhaps? Come on Blue wave.

@VitalVegas Like veal parm?

Informed by staff at Sgrizzi restaurant, “Sir, there are other things on the menu besides chicken parm.” To which we replied, “Why?” sgrizzilv.com

@McDonalds Yes please!

curry ftw! ok who wants to try it with me

@adammarkowitzEA This is the right reaction. Should have done that for the California disaster last year, or San Diego this year. Ended up with a 18 month long tax season instead

Bye guys, going on vacation. See y'all in January! #TaxTwitter irs.gov/newsroom/irs-r…

@ThatHanselGuy @KarenAttiah Don't forget Hulk Hogan

@KarenAttiah kid rock will fix it!

Oh my God. Oh my god.
