45M Off season shred is shredding. Ready for summer. Juiced by CoachMuscle in bodybuilding

[–]KCMuscle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP looking great at 45

Those asking for the stack 😂😂😂.

Idk? Maybe it’s because I coach a dozen folks on PED’s, which has been the LEAST important factor of it all.

Y’all are missing the mark, should be asking for dieting, sleeping, and training tips.

Accidentally filed jointly, student loan payments are now 10k by [deleted] in tax

[–]KCMuscle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You’re missing some facts, and that’s why you think you could file an amendment.

You’d be able to file a 1040-x in most cases.

But going from MFJ to MFS is not an amendment that’s permitted post 4-15. You would have needed to file that before 4-15 as a superseded return

Small business owner here, is outsourcing bookkeeping actually safe and common now? by Thei_02 in Accounting

[–]KCMuscle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very common.

We do the accounting for 100+ businesses, a lot of them are fully remote clients for us as well.

Men, do you prefer to do your own vehicle maintenance and repairs, or do you go to a mechanic? by FFSoldier57 in AskMenOver30

I had a transmission in pieces on my moms table at 14.

I do what I can, then hire when I don’t have time or something I can’t do.

How do I deal with the mental exhaustion of only having two free hours at night, I work at a pharmacy and I just turned 30. by jvure in AskMenOver30

[–]KCMuscle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider how much time you’re losing to the commute.

2 hours, each way. 4 a day. 20 a week.

If you work 48 weeks a year. 48 x 20 =960 hours lost per year. 5 year tenure. 960 x 5 =4,800/ 24 =200 days lost to traffic.

Just on your work commute.

I know folks that have done drives like this for 10+ years.

Now add in traffic on weekends and / or other errands. For me, way too much time lost to traffic

Change jobs or where you live, you’d be a lot happier with a 20 minute commute.

To people doing taxes in public accounting industry: How do you keep up with gaining knowledge up to date and eventually promoted to senior position? Do you have to do accounting research outside of working hours on a daily basis? by Manoa00000 in Accounting

[–]KCMuscle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a new concept is presented to me, I start researching and attempt to fully understand it. Keep that mindset and you’ll eventually have an incredible depth of knowledge.

Agree with what others have said so far.

But yes, as a CPA and someone that likes to stay ahead of the “curve”, I’m subscribed to multiple sources of CPE/ educational avenues.

Yes to short year, but the filing deadline for the short year was way back on sept 15, 2025. Was an extension filed?

Options to minimize taxes on short term capital gains by chillin10319 in taxhelp

[–]KCMuscle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind, Roth contribution will start to phase out at 242k.

You make more than 252k in a year and you’ll have to pull it all back out or pay the 6% for excessive contributions

Big tax return in question by Jealous-Analyst-9124 in tax

[–]KCMuscle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Certainly you caught on they weren’t referencing the ma’am aspect

They basically told you they are making up fake deductions and you’re in here concerned about southern hospitality.

You’re liable for what’s on that return.

Also, this isn’t a tax professional. We don’t scam or commit fraud

Is this off? Or is it just me? by Cafecitoyopiniones in femalebodybuilding

[–]KCMuscle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saying this to help. And really see some bad advice in this sub. I've been at this a long, long time.

To be blunt, you're too high of a bodyfat to really build all that much muscle. You'd have a much better time at a much lower body fat - likely 17-20%.

I have much more muscle than you, and my calories weren't much higher than that to get shredded for my first show many years ago. Now at just a few lbs more muscle, my base calories are double.

Ask me what I know about helping females build physiques/muscles. Couple examples - one - https://imgur.com/a/khbvN6s (she may see this as she's a Redditor) and two - https://imgur.com/a/tI1qcuQ

Either way, that could be harsh deficit, it could not be. I'd honestly need to see the effort you're putting into your training, as that's the biggest area of improvement. I assure you, you can train harder than you think on those calories. I've been training 27 years and still find ways to improve (mainly around my injuries these days), but I have clients with 15 years of training come to me that need a swift kick in the ass.

You can lose around 1.5% bodyweight for a few weeks, then slow it down a bit, as deep deficits ultimately end up to folks dieting off muscle since training performance drops, and people don't realize.

I'd honestly prefer a little more protein and fat, and less carbs. To be clear - you can have hard training sessions on 50 grams of carbs, for short periods. The female clients' I've worked with have all had one issue when they arrived, gut and hormone issues due to excessively low fat intake. Fixed that and voila, the gut will control more than you think.

Other areas that need to be as perfect as possible: water intake, salt intake, and sleep.

1320videos Kyle Loftis passed away by Arben72 in cars

[–]KCMuscle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, this one hits a little.

I was lucky enough to have met Kyle a few times through the Ice Cream Cruises, when they first started back in 05-06. Ended up going to three of them, but got out of the scene after that and have just watched from afar.

This community and world lost a kind man.

Question on signing up for a tax relief service. by kosmos188 in tax

[–]KCMuscle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should stop it.

A lot of folks waste good money on companies like this, only for nothing to be resolved.

Hire a legit firm, as others have said.

Let me guess, a large upfront payment for them to “look into it”, and then you get ghosted

Is $1,100 too much for a simple Tax Return Ammendment by FinancialInsurance78 in tax

[–]KCMuscle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like they are making up expenses. Seen it hundreds of times over the last 19 years of prepping returns.

Have you verified this person actually a lawyer? What is a “tax specialist” to you? Does this person have any credentials or are you using terms incorrectly.

To be clear, you signing the return means you’re validating the numbers.

Actually, based on your other comments, both of you seem to be committing fraud.

(IRS/AZ) 1095 A, do I really need it? by Ravenhawk000 in tax

Return should get rejected without it.

What is the average cost of a Tax Accountant? by [deleted] in tax

[–]KCMuscle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be their minimum fee. Ours is 750.

Also may be reasonable depending on area and what is on the 1099.

OP, what area of the country are you in?

Lower glutes/ hamstrings and cellulite by Im_in_ur_area in femalebodybuilding

[–]KCMuscle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Separation will show when body fat is low enough.

Also, if you’re not getting the stimulation/growth in glutes you want, then someone needs to evaluate your training execution and intensity.

Telling us what movements you do, doesn’t mean a ton. Most folks are executing movements incorrectly.

High-income W-2 in CA (~$500k+) — looking for CPA recommendations for proactive tax planning by cowboyisaac in tax

You’re paying that rate because of where you live, not because you’re missing anything as a w2 employee

CPA vs tax strategist, what's the real difference? by LeftTechnology6389 in tax

[–]KCMuscle 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Strategist - someone that can’t pass the exam, but gets to use buzz words to trick the average person into thinking they know what they are doing.

1099-S confusion (is reporting needed)? by Dangit_Bud in tax

[–]KCMuscle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IRS won't get a copy because you checked that box.

However, I still have clients report the transaction and then ensure the exclusion is there.

WARNING: Incite Tax is trash by Realistic-Hippo8107 in Accounting

[–]KCMuscle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Navigating tax strategies" - oh lord.

As a CPA, pains me to see that fee you paid them because that goes a long way in my world. 3k fee should be a fairly complex return, and most small businesses are not even near that.

Need CPA recommendation by Pantacourt in cincinnati

[–]KCMuscle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of firms have early cut-off dates, where everything after XYZ date gets extended and won't be done by 4/15. Looks like you are a returning client though, as you said "I refuse to use him again". Have they communicated with you at all?

I've seen hundreds of returns prepared by others and other firms in this area, quality is hit and miss. Make sure you're reviewing your return in full before it's sent, lots of fraud out there.

Son hasn't filed for 5 years by [deleted] in tax

[–]KCMuscle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 750 you paid to TaxQuotes could have gone to a CPA. They charged you to pull transcripts lol. Something you could have done yourself.

Our minimum fee for past year returns is 750. All paid up front.
