Happy #74th Independence Day to all my fellow Indians..#india @PMOIndia @AmitShah @PiyushGoyalOffc @narendramodi @rsprasad @rashtrapatibhvn small presentation on #indianflag from my daughters in USA

@uptonaccounting i like the way you siad! "Humanbeing takes the responsblity and not the AI". keep up good work!!

PSA: No business partners, ever

@JohnPetersonFW Not if they are a good financial advisor. Investment only or insurance sales could be reduced significantly. However, humans still want to talk to humans and plan. The human element will be the key.

Claude was able to take a pdf depreciation schedule with 180 assets from another software for a new client and fill in the 4562 import template to enter those assets in Drake. That is a huge win! And no PII was harmed! 2 hours saved!

@uptonaccounting Please do share your experience on data security as you use more pilots. AI is here to the change the profession and things we do traditionally for sure.

@dilipcpa We scrub identifying information for testing. Our IT is assisting with the security. Our understanding is that the Enterprise level offers mire security but we are still highly cautious.

If you are not leveraging AI like Claude CoWork you are about to be out in the cold

@FortWayneCPA We missed you Mike. Hope busy season is not yet arrived!!

I have been offline awhile. Had some personal things come up and I am back and alive. Can I just say this? Curling not a sport.

@chiragbarjatya Indian Railway mein aise hi thodi Mug chain se bandhte hain :)😀😀

One of the gym in pune started giving fresh hand towels to everyone before workout. Many people didn’t return it back. Then the gym started charging 20₹ deposit. People again didn’t return it back. Then gym started asking people “sir/ma’am please return the towel” this causes huge fights “haan nahi lekar ja rahe towel, do you wanna check my bag now??” Gym stopped this service haha. And you will be shocked to know how many people steal towels from hotels. Talk to any hotel chain person. Very common even in 5 stars. Strange habits.

@USAmbIndia @airindia @Boeing_In @Boeing Thank you for your continued efforts in strengthening U.S.–India commercial ties. This milestone reflects the growing partnership between our nations and the confidence in long-term aviation collaboration.

Congratulations to @airindia and @Boeing_In on their announcement that Air India will add 30 more @Boeing 737 MAX aircraft to its fleet. Every day the Embassy works tirelessly to support opportunities that benefit both of our nations!

@CPATaxTeam @DreamFirms Fast. Cheap. Accurate. Pick two.”😀😀 Does that include depreciation, state filings, and emotional support during an audit? 😀

@DreamFirms 2nd business return...$1500.

Tough offer to beat if you're in the tax filing game.

@wifemomcpa100 thanks

@dilipcpa I used InfoUSA before they changed their name.

If you’re a solo practitioner or just starting your firm and ready to land clients who aren’t related to you by blood or marriage, let me put you on to a fun, old-school strategy that works. Enter: the new homeowner campaign. I ran this for years and the ROI was chef’s kiss. I still have clients today who first met me through a piece of snail mail. Yes, actual mail. With a stamp. -Buy a new homeowner mailing list -Order business card-size magnets with your info -Write a friendly “Congrats on your new home” letter -Stuff the letter and magnet in the envelope and tell them to slap that magnet on the fridge -Use your name and business address as the return address so it feels local and personal -Drop it in the mail and let it work its magic Track your results. New homeowners love supporting local businesses, and you want to be the tax pro they think of every time they open that fridge. Happy Tax Season! #tax #TopOfMind #FirmManagement #Practitioners Btw, don't forget to register for AICPA ENGAGE this year and learn from fellow practitioners! It's going to be epic.

@TheTaxNomad @matt_gottshall Yes the Income tax deduction for FMV (up to 30% of AGI for appreciated securities).

@matt_gottshall Can you contribute appreciated stock to a DAF?

I know Donor Advised Funds are hot right now, and I love them and even have one myself But let me share that if you are someone who is giving NOW, a lot of the time it is much more efficient/convenient to just give appreciated shares/cash directly to the charity (assuming they can accept stock gifts, which most can), instead of giving to your Donor Advised Fund (DAF) first I know bunching is crucial with DAFs, and something I implement a lot for those who need to push multiple years of giving into one (but won’t donate it yet), but if you’re giving in the same year anyways, more what I am referring to Just something to keep in mind

Do not share sensitive personal or financial information with AI tools or online personalities. These platforms are not governed by professional standards, confidentiality rules, or regulatory oversight. Licensed professionals are accountable for safeguarding your information. Internet grifters are not. When it comes to your data, shortcuts can be costly. Work with someone who is qualified, regulated, and responsible.

Do NOT upload personal, sensitive data to Ai! This is why you work with a professional and not some internet grifter. @DailyTaxMemes I nominate this post for the 2026 worst tax advice poll.

@TGorcz are you planning to start next batch this winter?

@BillAckman @elonmusk @SpaceX @SECGov @Tesla No doubt this is is a Innovative capital access Retail democratization narrative Loyalty rewarding SpaceX’s brand today is built on: Engineering excellence Mission clarity Long-term vision A complex, layered SPARC structure risks: Looking like financial alchemy by passing credit

.@elonmusk, what if we took @SpaceX public by merging it with Pershing Square SPARC Holdings, Ltd. (SPARC) a new form of acquisition company that was approved by the @SECGov. We could distribute SPARC special purpose acquisition rights (SPARs) to @Tesla shareholders so that all Tesla shareholders would have the right to invest in the SpaceX IPO, or they could choose to sell their SPARs to someone else. This would reward loyal Tesla shareholders with the opportunity to invest in SpaceX (or with cash for their SPARs), while totally democratizing the IPO process. In addition to receiving common stock in SpaceX, exercising SPAR holders would also receive Pershing Square SPARC Holdings II SPARs, which we could use to take @xai public at the time of your choosing. Pershing Square would due diligence on behalf of all shareholders and would commit $4 billion of capital to the IPO at a fixed price per share. SPARC has no underwriting fees, founder stock or shareholder warrants, and we would waive our right to receive SPARC sponsor warrants. The result would be an IPO without any underwriting fees or dilutive securities issued. @SpaceX would go public with a 100% common stock capital structure and it would not incur any transaction costs other than modest legal fees which SPARC would pay from its cash on hand. We could raise whatever amount of capital you would like by adjusting the exercise price of the SPARs. Assuming we issue 0.5 SPARs for each share of Tesla, there would be 1.723 billion SPARs outstanding including the 61.1 million SPARs that are already outstanding. Since one SPAR would be exercisable for two shares of SpaceX, the SPARs would be exercisable for 3.446 billion total SpaceX shares. So, if we set the SPAR exercise price at $11.03, SpaceX would raise $42.0 billion, $38 billion from the exercise of SPARs and $4 billion from Pershing Square, or if we set the SPAR exercise price at $42.0, SpaceX would raise $148.7 billion, $144.7 billion from the SPAR exercise and $4 billion from us. SPARC is indifferent to how much of the shares are primary versus secondary shares giving the company maximum flexibility. We could do due diligence and enter into a definitive agreement committing to the transaction within 45 days, at which point it would be certain that SpaceX would go public at a fixed valuation subject only to SEC approval of the merger proxy/registration statement. Our commitment to the transaction would not be subject to market conditions. We could start work right away and announce the transaction by mid- February. It only seems appropriate that the most innovative and efficient rocket company in the world should go public in the most innovative, efficient, and fairest-to-Tesla-shareholders manner possible. To Mars and beyond! What do you say?

@Budgetdog_ Love this

One year ago, we took a two-week trip to Iowa for our daughter’s therapy. While we were there, we learned we had lost our home. We couldn’t return due to extreme mold and mycotoxin exposure, and everything inside it was gone. What followed was a cascade of events…blows heavy enough to break most families for a lifetime. The weight of it all felt unbearable. One year later, we’re living a life we once only dreamed about, in the best place we’ve ever been. Sometimes the hardest seasons carry the greatest blessings but you only see them after you’ve walked all the way through. If you’re in the middle of something painful right now, keep going. It will be worth it. There is a blessing waiting on the other side of your pain.
