@mgc7399 @rledbetterCPA Thank you so much!! Going to try this!

@ecoupe @rledbetterCPA I had to do this for a missing refund! Hang on, let me find the right phone tree prompts.

Always an adventure calling the IRS Me: "Hi, I'm calling about penalty relief for my client. He's disabled and --" Agent: "What's the account number?" Me: "He lost his job. Couldn't afford to file. He has severe anxiety and --" Agent: "I see. The penalty is $847. Next?" Me: "His anxiety is documented. He's been struggling for years. He literally couldn't handle opening the mail from you guys." Agent: "Understood. The penalty stands." Me: "He's on disability income. This is going to hurt him badly." Agent: "I hear you. Still $847." Me: "He was literally unable to function during this period. His doctor can verify --" Agent: "That's unfortunate. The penalty is assessed." Me: "So there's nothing we can do? No hardship exception? No compassion?" Agent: "Not without something to base it on, sir." Me: *long pause* Me: "I mean - unless I..." Agent: "You could...." Me: "Could what?" Agent: "Well. You'd have to say it." Me: "Say..." Agent: "THE words, sir." Me: "What words?" Agent: "I can't say them for you." Me: "It's not even a sure thing though. Could it work?." Agent: "Only one way to find out sir." Me: *long pause* Me: "I'm going to say it." Agent: "I'm bracing, sir." Me: "First time penalty abatement." Agent: "Excellent. Your client is eligible. I'm releasing the penalty now. We're all set." Me: "Wait. That's it? Just like that?" Agent: "Yes sir. The penalty is gone." Me: "It's automatic?" Agent: "Exactly." Me: "So why all the drama? Why couldn't you just tell me?" Agent: "Because most people don't understand how serious a decision it is to say THE words." Me: "It's that serious? Why?" Agent: "You just used your one shot." Me: "What do you mean my one shot?" Agent: "First time penalty abatement. You can only invoke it once per client. Ever." Me: "...once?" Agent: "That's right. Once... And then it resets again in three years." Me: "Wait, it resets? So we can do this again in a few years?" Agent: "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Remember to start each day by immediately grabbing your phone and exploding with anxiety and rage at the news

Just because you are conservative, it doesn't mean you have to be okay with what's happening in Minnesota. Even if you voted based on immigration issues, it doesn't mean you have to be okay with what's happening in Minnesota. It's okay to say it's bad and shouldn't be happening

This photo of Cincinnati's Over-The-Rhine neighborhood goes incredibly hard.

@GgoDnoopS 👀

We are officially now in that weird haze between Christmas and New Years when we're all like what day is it? Are banks open? Are other people working? Is it still okay to eat leftover ham? What am I doing with my life? Is my ex happy?

@TheNCAADrop Thought this was Riz God

🚨 7’9” Florida Gators center Olivier Rioux has been suspended 4 games by head coach Todd Golden for betting on his own unders.

No chiefs in the playoffs

New | Joe Flacco might be done playing for the #Bengals. What he did here was everything Cincinnati asked and then some. It will also be a footnote in a sea of losing. And that’s a shame. “You can’t put it into words.” nytimes.com/athletic/68320…

@PropellerC130 @stoolpresidente This and fireside

Cincinnati is a rare city I’ve never done a pizza review in. What are top 5 must hit spots.
