AND SO IT BEGINS!

.
Joy to the world - tax season’s here.
I’ll soon be flush with cash!
Let every client be organized,
and give me all I need, and give me all I need,
and give me all I need to prepare their returns!

My 38th tax season has officially begun - the floodgates have been open!

And now for what will be a February 1st tradition here at THE NJ TAX PRACTICE BLOG (and THE WANDERING TAX PRO) - “The Twelve Days of Tax Season” -
.
On the first day of tax season my client gave to me a Closing Statement for the purchase of a home.
.
On the second day of tax season my client gave to me 2 W-2 forms.
.
On the third day of tax season my client gave to me 3 mortgage statements.
.
On the fourth day of tax season my client gave to me 4 Salvation Army receipts.
.
On the fifth day of tax season my client gave to me 5 Form K-1s.
.
On the sixth day of tax season my client gave to me 6 1099s for dividends.
.
On the seventh day of tax season my client gave to me 7 cancelled checks.
.
On the eighth day of tax season my client gave to me 8 useless items.
.
On the ninth day of tax season my client gave to me 9 medical bills.
.
On the tenth day of tax season my client gave to me 10 stock sale confirms.
.
On the eleventh day of tax season my client gave to me 11 employee business expenses.
.
On the twelfth day of tax season my client got from me a finished tax return, 11 employee business expenses, 10 stock sale confirms, 9 medical bills, 8 useless items, 7 cancelled checks, 6 1099s for dividends, 5 Form K-1s, 4 Salvation Army receipts, 3 mortgage statements, 2 W-2 forms, and a Closing Statement for the purchase of a home.
.
And, of course, on the thirteenth day of tax season the client gave to me a corrected Consolidated 1099 from Wachovia Securities!

SO LONG, FAREWELL, AUF WIEDERSEHEN, GOOD NIGHT!

As is my custom, due to the demands of the filing season I will be taking my annual “tax season hiatus” from posting to THE WANDERING TAX PRO and the NJ TAX PRACTICE BLOG. Between now and April 15th I barely have time to relieve myself let alone blog!

“Talk” to you when it is all over!
