This engineer client wants to write off the reduced value of a hedge fund he invested in last year Nothing in ownership has changed but he thinks since it went 300k to 280k in valuation from some YE report he got that he should write off 20k and this is hell

@CarolWalshReal1 Hi Carol @Realm_Tax can help Realmtax.com

@mountainwesttax Quick question do you do trust and estate returns in California?

my receivables are 3x higher than this time last year with lower revenue

@blueprintsmb22 Facts. When I bought my accounting firm in December 2023 if I knew what I know now probably would not have done it. Had senior preparer quit (via email) week of 4/15 2 retired and one took clients Clients in office 1 screaming But I have turned the aircraft carrier around 💪

At the Lexus dealership today getting the 75,000 mileage service maintenance with the team off for Good Friday. While I eat a bagel and sit in a massage chair watching the first episode of season 2 of Your Friends and Neighbors, it’s incredible to look back over the last 15 months. A year ago, tariffs were announced that took a $30-40k a month piece of business to zero. My biggest customer (10 percent sales) told me she was shutting down. A year later, my most important raw material is up 70 pct year to date and with the May increase of $0.20 per pound, resin will be up 100 percent for the year. Despite all of this, I’m out of my SBA debt (got out via interest rate only pledged asset line at Schwab), business is up over 30 pct year to date and my backlog is the highest it’s ever been with the team working tomorrow while I’ll be hosting my Mom visiting from Kansas City for a few days which will be the first time I have seen her since I was home when my father passed last October. Shvt isn’t easy. If someone had told me in early 2025 what was going to happen the following 15 months I would have probably wanted to give up. Hey tariffs are going to crush business. Your biggest customer is going to shut down. Your dad is going to pass. Then you will see resin double. I’m glad I didn’t know what was coming. I would have mentally shut down. Humans are incredible. Most of the time we just take what’s thrown at us and figure shvt out. Keep going. 💪

@ima_dinger I would also suggest mixing in handwritten letter that is illegible. Thank you for your attention to this matter. #taxtwitter

Going to send client a copy of their tax return as follows, odd pages as separate upside down JPGs as text messages. Even pages as individual HEIC to email. Bill will come as 40 separate $15 invoices of which only half can paid by ACH, 3 by CC, the rest cash or check only.

@patrickdichter 🤣 this is tremendous

I didn’t think I could love Ramp any more and then they do marketing like this:

@DevinWanzor At least he kept it in bounds this time

Does any human, ever, have a larger skill gap than Tiger Woods golfing versus Tiger Woods driving a vehicle?

@blueprintsmb22 Congratulations 🎉 A very good day when you get out of PG Looking forward to doing the same eventually

On a crazy warm day in New Jersey today, I did the following: 1) Fully paid off 7 figures of personally guaranteed SBA debt via a pledged asset line at Schwab (wiring 7 figures gave me some heart palpitations if I’m being real) 2) Communicated a 10 percent price to GM and Ford for poly bags effective next week (will see how they react 😳) x.com/blueprintsmb22…

@patrickdichter @CPATaxTeam 😆 🤣 that’s what I thought too

@CPATaxTeam Talked to one last week and they thought they should just hire a GM and not have to run it full time…

"We're going to roll up a bunch of CPA firms" Yeah, tell us you haven't had multiple CPA firm purchases without telling us.

Another CPA firm (<5M EBITDA) just got an IOI at 12X. 80% cash at close. Twitter still in disbelief. They didn't believe me last time when one sold at 10X and won't believe it again this time at 12X. Meanwhile, if you have a firm that's dialed in and doing 7-figures of EBITDA, let me know if you want to sell! I know who is paying.

@markcecchini Nice work Mark

Claude. 3 minutes. 2 line prompt.

@BarbellFi All the accountants chiming in on gifting rules, AFR (Applicable Federal Rates) for loans… Days before the 3/15 Business filing deadline 😆 🤓

When my son is ready to buy a house We’ll loan him the full purchase price He’ll make monthly payments to us 30 year mortgage at 0% interest Thanks to the bank of Mom & Dad 💰

@NotGoKGreen 👀 @Realm_Tax

I started Sam's List to solve a personal problem — finding a CPA who actually understood me and my business. Now it's bigger than me. And that's wild. And companies I never in a million years thought we'd help. This week a VC-backed startup in CA used the site: - Missed payroll tax filings - A CA tax notice to resolve - Books that need a full cleanup - Mercury treasury that needs to be reflected properly - Corporate taxes coming up They were able to contact 2 firms in seconds on Sam's List! That makes me really happy! If you specialize in VC-backed startups and you're not on Sam's List yet... these founders are actively looking for you. Join the party🙃

@AttorneyDoubleM @RyanDanz 🤫

@RyanDanz Tested that this weekend on the way to water polo in Chula Vista. Lol. Btw, you forgot to mention that stretch of coast has some of the best surfspots in CA for the 10am-1pm session, but maybe the omission was on purpose 😀🏄

One of the most epic stretches of living in the history of the world Sure, it takes making 1MM/year to live adequate, just enough to get a starter home (which starts at 2mm for anything non-tear-down), and pay the bills, afford a closet full of vuori, drive a Tesla, surf 10am-1pm on a weekday, and drink $7 cups of micro roasted coffee with chai tallow, take a few yoga classes per week, get a club membership, … but 10/10 public schools, year round 72 degrees with a light breeze, organic grocery stores, no smog, no insects, no swamp ass, no crime, no homeless-tent cities, no parking meters, the best Mexican food north of Mexico City, the most slightly above average looking but fittest people you’ve ever seen and 10000x less pretentious than Newport and LA folk World class and open to the public; •Beaches •Hiking •Golf •Museums •Parks •Zoos And a tax racket that means homes worth 5mm that were bought 25 years ago for 500k, only pay 5k/yr property tax and locked for life (sans capped increase) And this doesn’t even include that little hamlet to the right on the map called Rancho Santa Fe which is a tweetstorm all unto itself

@RyanDanz 🤣 this is 💯

@zachmelloh26 Happy to help @Realm_Tax
