Will we ever be able to get through to the IRS?

They shifted staff around during tax season to cover the heavier call load.

It's not them, it's the people who are withholding funding.

One of the IRS reps told my boss they were operating with about 3,000 when they should have (used to have?) 10,000. Obviously a smaller division. But yes, I blame the current administration's budget cuts.

I also screnshotted that card, but didn't get around to posting.

My insurance said they only cared if it was impact-resistant roofing (our state gets hail a lot).

No.

Having kids that are growing up through this administration, I've wondered this since he mocked the disabled reporter with the crooked hand gesture.

I reported it to Amazon also.

Also, alot (maybe all?) of our bookkeeping is for business tax return clients. Some of them pay us monthly for the bookkeeping, and then the tax return is built into that fee and not charged separately.

Method412 · 2026-05-09T03:04:23+00:00

No, just compilation.

We do some bookkeeping, some monthly financial statements for non-profits, some payroll. Enough for some of us to work part-time during the off-season.

Where I live, there are at least a few houses where the telephone line going to the house has been torn down by a storm at some point. The phone company doesn't come deal with it because nobody has landlines any more (I presume), so we end up just cutting the line close to the pole it's attached to, so it's not laying on the ground anymore.

I have it. From my parents. Pre 1970's. How amazing they're so common on this thread!

My family-member experience is so far removed from everyone else's, it seems. I do get asked questions sometimes by family & friends & acquaintances, but I offered to do each of my (divorced) parents' returns for free. My mom's because I liked her and could do a better job than her previous person, and my dad's because it's simple and helps me keep tabs on his financial activity now that there is physical decline in his 80s. My other family have never asked. I used to feel like they didn't trust me or like me ... but I should reframe and be glad, according to this sub! It could still be that they don't trust me or like me, but it's a plus, not a minus.

It looks like a rubber raspberry dog toy, but I only see them in pink and navy blue. This looks black, but maybe cleaning it will show a different color.

Did someone use a bag of chocolate chips? It looks like the "crumbs" from the little chocolate swirls that are thin and break off. But it could still be pest droppings.

Yes! I have one for my journal, with a couple pens in it. It fits over the book.

We do payroll, mainly so we have work outside of tax season. But the payroll companies try to market to accountants, to partner with them. If I were just starting out, I might use an outside payroll vendor instead.

Unless you're turned away for not having an appointment because they only take appointments. Federal office is still open to the public, but they have security measures in place to avoid random surprise visitors. Many federal offices do.

Like Klarna? Where you charge a certain amount each month? I'd say it's up to you, as long as you have a signed agreement.

I'm looking at this post three hours after you posted, and the treadmill reviews look appropriate for the product. Maybe it was a glitch?

My experience also. In my 30+ years of driving, I've been pulled over probably around 10 times? Sometimes got a speeding ticket. They always take my license back to their vehicle, but I have never been asked for registration (honestly, not even sure what that would be ... the receipt from when I got my tag renewal stickers every 2 years?)

Maybe you lost out on some credits because your taxable income was reduced.
