Zbylut on Taxes

@JrdnMcFarland @KurtSupeCPA Every state does this. I’ve even seen a Kansas residency audit. Kansas.

@KurtSupeCPA California also great at claw back taxes as well. Because of course.

A couple, 67 and 65. Buy a place in Florida. Spend about 5 months a year there. Keep the home up north. They tell everyone they're "basically Florida residents now." 3 years later, the audit letter arrives from their old state. Cell phone records. Credit cards. Doctor visits. Utility bills. The verdict: not Florida residents. Back taxes plus interest plus penalties. This isn't hypothetical. In October 2025, the New York Tax Appeals Tribunal ruled against John Hoff and Kathleen Ocorr-Hoff for tax years 2018 and 2019. About $60,000 in New York income taxes. They had done everything the checklists tell you to do. Florida driver's licenses. Florida voter registration. Declarations of domicile filed in Florida. Vehicles registered in Florida. Estate planning documents updated to Florida law. The Tribunal still ruled against them. Here's what actually beat them. Cell phone records showed they spent more days in New York than Florida both years. 186 days in NY in 2018. 164 in 2019. He still owned and ran a New York business and drew a significant salary from it. She still operated her own business out of Rochester, New York. They kept country club memberships in both states. The center of their actual life never left. The 183-day rule is the starting gun, not the finish line. You can be under 183 days in your old state and still lose if your business, your income, your doctors, and your daily life stayed behind. States are aggressive about this. New York alone collected more than $3 billion through residency audits from 2022 to 2023. A driver's license won't save you. Neither will a declaration of domicile.

@vapelawguy @KurtSupeCPA 🤣🤣🤣 Think again. Florida would absolutely assist.

@KurtSupeCPA NY tax folks have zero jurisdiction in Fla. Tell NY to send as many folks as they are prepared to never see again. No way Fla would assist the NY officials.

@IshDtax No waffling! Pick one! 🤣

@TaxHacker Grey tea. Gray anatomy.

So while we're all coming to the realization that #FrenchToast is superior to #Waffles and #Pancakes, let's also debate if it's "Gray" or "Grey." #TaxTwitter

@FortWayneCPA Glad to see you posting. I think a lot of us are dealing with this at this point. Hang in there. Hopefully, see you in San Antonio.

I have not posted in a long time... It has been a rough 5 months... I have a pretty severe case of burnout... I have not been able to focus at all. Since I cannot focus it has made everything really hard... My focus has improved a little. I am working on getting back to my normal self... It will take time... But I am working on it... Many of you have reached out to me and I appreciate it. This is something I have to work out for myself! Better days are ahead...

@FortWayneCPA I'll know it when I see it. I haven't seen it. (Ok, it's 11 words. Sue me.)

In 10 words or less, please describe President Trumps Iran strategy.

@FatJackal @ProfRobAnderson No. AR still requires that you attended an ABA-accredited law school in order to be admitted. California's non-accredited program restricts you to practicing in CA (and I think 1 other state) only. Same for WI - you have to take another state's bar to get admitted elsewhere.

@ProfRobAnderson So one could theoretically become an attorney in CA, TX, and AR without ever having attended law school, or college for that matter, as California doesn’t require one to attend law school,or college, to become an attorney.

I have my bar license in California. Arkansas does not have reciprocity with California, so I can’t be admitted to Arkansas without taking a bar exam. However, Texas allows California attorneys to become licensed in Texas without taking a bar exam there. And then Arkansas has reciprocity with Texas. So a California-licensed attorney can become licensed in Arkansas without ever taking the Arkansas (or any other) bar exam again by first obtaining a Texas license via admission without examination and then using Arkansas’s admission-on-motion process.

@Taxsavvyjessica The rule of nudity - in the gym locker or the beach - is that the people who ARE naked are the people who SHOULD NOT be naked.

I had my MIL ROTFL when I shared a misunderstanding that occurred while I was in Cancun. We went on a “boob cruise” and I expected to see some titties here and there. I consented to titties but there was more than titties. There were weiners helicoptering around and a lot of other weird swinger shit we weren’t prepared for. Apparently there was a Tryst hotel takeover at one of the resorts and things got out of control kind quick. So I’m explaining this experience to my MIL and my reenactment of the helicopter weiners sent her over the edge in uncontrollable laughter.

@bsuecannon We still go to the Laundromat to clean our (king bed) comforters, because our home washer is too small. I think that, unless you're in an older apartment, that's the case for a lot of people.

My 23-year-old son is thinking about buying a laundromat, and just starting to research it. He met with a laundromat consultant yesterday. This guy has a podcast, a mastermind group and a 3-tier package of how he can help. Sounds familiar. 😂 Lots to think about. location is important - and that depends on whether it’s self-serve or includes more services😃, like client drops off and laundromat does wash/dry/fold service, or if there’s a delivery service, or if there’s corporate accounts for restaurants, etc. Since this is a college town, he suggested asking the college to add a flyer to student information about a laundry service they (their parents) pay monthly for. I think that’s genius. 😂 I’m sure the age of the machines is a big factor. There are some amazing machines now. Some do 8 loads of laundry at one time. When my kids were little, that would’ve been amazing. I think having a very clean place, with tables for folding clothes, maybe a comfy chair and desk while you’re waiting. Maybe a couple of arcade games. My Mom told me she would go to the laundromat when we were little (1960s/1970s) and the laundromat she went to had those chair hair dryers. She would have clothes in the machines, while she was drying her hair and paying bills. 🤣

@Taxsavvyjessica Wow. What a clown. And reading his (and his mother's') web pages...I should be marketing myself as a 'tax genius' and the "GOAT of my industry." After all, if he's the "MVP" of the industry...

I got my hands on a tax return prepared by Karlton Dennis and it’s hot dog shit as expected.

@pop_tartlet @jakozloski Sorry. A little slang. CV = Central Valley. Generally, Bakersfield.

Men's and women's stated preferences in a spouse from Keeper, showing which words skew most by gender, split between wants and don't-wants.

@taxgirl TNT. youtube.com/watch?v=NhsK5W…

Ok #TaxTwitter, since I am at a ballgame, what would your walk-up song be?

@NancyRPearcey @jakozloski For both sexes: "Muscular" is #3 for women, "Fit" is #6.

"Both sexes’ top wants are identical though: kind and funny." Not exactly. Men's top wants are: kind and fit. Physical characteristics are still close to the top.

Men’s top don’t-want in a spouse is “overweight” by a 2.5x margin over the next item. Women’s top don’t-want is “rude” by a 1.5x margin. Men’s rejection filter is dominantly physical. Women’s is dominantly character. Both sexes’ top wants are identical though: kind and funny. (Keeper data on millions of stated preference clauses.)

@cordes_tax And in case my references threw you for a loop: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponderosa…

@cordes_tax We didn't go out much, and when we did we did not get appetizers or desserts unless it was a special occasion (or someone else was buying). Plus, 'going out' meant going for pizza (cheap) or to a Ponderosa/Bonanza/Sizzler (also cheap), or to a diner-equivalent.

My wife’s family was the “only order water” family. My family was the “you can order pop (soda for you non Midwestern folks), but not appetizers or desserts.” I don’t know these people that order apps and zerts.

@LizMpersonal @cordes_tax @nickmeals It absolutely is "Pop..."

@cordes_tax When I was with my aunt I had to get milk no matter what I was eating. But yeah I could get soda. @cordes_tax it’s not “pop” @nickmeals it’s not “coke”

Anyone on #TaxTwitter located in the UK? Client is trying to rent an apt in the UK, and the rental agency is surprised his (non-public) business doesn't have audited financials. Do non-public companies in the UK spend on audited financials? I didn't think so...
