@ThrillaRilla369 Go to neighbor's house to eat.

Be honest because I’m proving a point When you were a child if you didn’t want to eat what your mother made for dinner What happened?

@elceejamz Dont give up! Shoot for $600 next year!

@ima_dinger It me 😅😭

Good thing you formed that LLC for the $300 in sales the last three years.

@jonbrooks Is that up or down from prior years?

Only 23.1% of people made $100,000+/yr last year

@TexasDave24 I did lump them to resolve. Client was getting a refund so Im assuming it doesnt matter.

@ima_dinger It does seem that there’s quite a lack of technical knowledge with their support these days. I’m curious about the ES payments; could you lump those together within the quarter or is there a strategy to enter each one individually?

Sad to report Drake Support gets a 0/5 today.

@Game_The_Theory Roll it over to a Chase Ink next.

@ima_dinger But now I have business Amex plat and owe Amex $80,000. I’m at the next level

@TexasDave24 2. Diagnostic about vehicle miles vs actual exp. Sent them the file. They never called back. They sent me two email responses that had nothing to do with my issue. I found my input error eventually. In the past they would have found my error in about a minute and let me know.

@TexasDave24 1. Client made eleven Fed estimated payments. The third input screen was not carrying to the 1040. CSR was clueless and trying to have me enter them as 2026 pmts.

@kamikazecash We gonna roll this into a "shadow LLC" from New Mexico?

@ima_dinger Just one? Don’t forget you need a Delaware LLC as a holding company for your Wyoming LLC.

@nyoungdumb I prefer the minting of one coin worth $39 Trillion. Save on paper this way.

Why don’t we just print $39 trillion and pay off the debt?

New client meeting today.....He won me over by starting off with "I dont care how much this costs"

@AccountingAsArt My last appt today was fun and now I dont want to return to work either....

I was supposed to have a 1:30 meeting, but it was canceled because the client slipped on the ice and broke some ribs but I don't feel like I can get any work done now because I was prepared not to work...

@FrancineHibiscs There is a ghost preparer near me (not CPA), I get the clients for a year here or there when there is something she doesnt want to handle, then they go back to her.

so clients sent me their parents and I am here to tell you that not every CPA knows how to do taxes and I am not sure this return was even actually SIGNED there is no PTIN or anything.

@TGorcz @JoshYoungblood Zero proof a licensing regime will make preparers more honest or thorough. This would be great for people who sell CE/CPE. The industry needs less barriers to entry. Just my opinion. The industry will do what it does best- screw everything up.

@ima_dinger @JoshYoungblood A licensing regime would enable the IRS to more easily enforce the rules. As of now, they have to go to federal court to get an injunction, or criminally charge someone.

Nina Olson, who is on the board for the Center for Taxpayer Rights, sent mystery shoppers to 53 non-credentialed preparer sites across six states during the 2025 filing season. The results were terrible. The vast majority of returns had incorrect filing statuses, wrong credit amounts, fabricated deductions, or unreported cash income. Refund amounts were wildly off. Preparers routinely failed to ask basic questions about household composition and income, and even when they did, they got the law wrong. Meanwhile, the IRS rarely penalizes bad preparers and collects less than 19% of the penalties it assesses. The report's core recommendation: Congress needs to finally authorize the IRS to require minimum competency testing and continuing education for non-credentialed preparers. This is worth a read! Thanks to @TGorcz for sharing the report. #TaxTwitter #EA #CPA #Taxes taxpayer-rights.org/wp-content/upl…

@JoshYoungblood I was and might.😀 If my state drops the cr hours req I might go cpa, but it seems pointless, i own my firm, have employees,etc. Im paying my employees to get credentialed currently

@ima_dinger In a previous article about service bureaus, I was quick to point out that mistakes and fraud occur across all types, and that some non-credentialed preparers know more than some credentialed preparers. Out of curiosity, are you interested in becoming credentialed?

@TGorcz @JoshYoungblood I disagree with required testing. Enforce the rules, dont add more rules. This is my opinion.

@ima_dinger @JoshYoungblood You disagree, as in the data is made up? The facts are the facts here - and yes, credentialed pros also make terrible errors, intentional and not intentional.

Reject Code S1A-F1040-026 - If Schedule 1-A (Form 1040), 'PrimaryEnhancedSeniorDedAmt' has a value greater than zero, then the Primary must be at least 65 years old. He is 65.....

@wndywitch I picked up one and extention was accepted. Was prepared to snail mail extention if need be

Did the IRS process any S Corp elections and enter them into their computer system ANY AT ALL?
