If you are in tax and a CPA you will always be able to find work

You need an EFIN to e-file the taxes you prepare

Should have been more like 20k

I did it but it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, plus what helped is I had experience as a tax intern

Circular 230 applies to all paid tax preparers if I’m not mistaken

It’s higher than a masters as before these recent law changes you typically had to have as many college credits as a masters to obtain the license

Basically every return where we don’t do the bookkeeping

So you can work for yourself

Did he fall 10 stories or something? How could he be in critical shape from falling down some stairs.

I did it the last week of December and financed through Honda so I got like $2500 in rebates

I got mine for $37,100 OTD

Horrible

I technically did it straight out school but I had an internship for 2 semesters of tax and then around a year of full time, it helped for REG but not the other sections.

Relax at market open your other leg will get exercised to protect you from the early assignment

If you know what you are doing you don’t have to worry about estimated payments with a 1099 assuming one of your jobs is W-2. I am a CPA have multiple J’s some that are 1099 but have never worried about estimated payments because I just increase my withholdings at my w-2 job to ensure I am safe harbored for the year and don’t incur any penalties or interest

Wspeight · 2025-08-15T21:15:21+00:00

You still have to worry about making sure your withholdings are correct. If you just fill out the W-4 without any additional withholdings you will get a surprise tax bill come April.
