@CPATaxTeam Benjamin would be disappointed with the state of the USPS today. I empathize w the employees and the challenges they face.

@ignatiuscpa @LoganGrafTax Every day we should repeat “I am stronger than my excuses! All prices will reflect the value I know bring to the table.”

@ajthecpa1226 @LoganGrafTax It is so fun to hear a client tell you and your staff that it is just a plug, play and compute. It should be just a few hours to data entry the return..

[Alison Reiff-Martin @ATREIFF]

@FortWayneCPA @LoganGrafTax Can you share the template of what you say?

[Alison Reiff-Martin @ATREIFF]

@FortWayneCPA @larryjudd Any suggestions on what to send to clients other than “this is bad”

[Alison Reiff-Martin @ATREIFF]

Heh #taxtwitter if I wanted to use a tax planning software what would you recommend for a solopreneur beyond a self developed fancy spreadsheet. I have tried taxplan iq and Bloomberg tip and they aren’t quite what I am looking for. Any recommendations? Lacerte tax planner? Tia

@AccountingExecs @FortWayneCPA @FortWayneCPA_ How did you learn they were using your firm and your licenses?

[Alison Reiff-Martin @ATREIFF]

@PEspey @CPAPlanner Thank you for the detailed info!!! I was wondering same thing re the $130k.

[Alison Reiff-Martin @ATREIFF]

@QuickBooks I am sure I am not alone in saying … this sucks rocks!!! #fixit

@QuickBooks is lacerte down? Getting notice that my firm administrator has to grant me access. Hearing that pro series is down too.

[Alison Reiff-Martin @ATREIFF]

@CPATaxTeam I am interested.

[Alison Reiff-Martin @ATREIFF]

@adammarkowitzEA Your work is more interesting too when you get to know your clients and the stuff they do. It becomes more than a tax return and a bunch of numbers on a page.

[Alison Reiff-Martin @ATREIFF]

@FortWayneCPA What errors are you seeing?

@FortWayneCPA @HotTakesbyLuca To boot, states rely on our reported federal Income to calculate state income tax (if state has one). Changing to a national sales tax is a huge impact to states too. #badidea

[Alison Reiff-Martin @ATREIFF]

@FortWayneCPA @HotTakesbyLuca A national sales tax is a bad idea. It is a regressive tax that hurts middle income and the poor. Imagine the special interests behind current tax law and how they will fight against it. We will also have even less incentive than we have now to give to charity. #badidea

@FortWayneCPA 9. What is the correct tech? There is so much out there that is new and it is hard to know what is the right tech to adopt. Our perfection propensity makes it more difficult because we don’t want to pick the next new thing only to find, like Bench, it won’t be here for long.

[Alison Reiff-Martin @ATREIFF]

@FortWayneCPA 9 Bench seems to be a poorly run company. CEO left in November. Bench shuts down 12/23 and is magically acquired by https://t.co/jXvVzMFWfs? Bench is a good example of how the value of an audit is obvious but never taken up on because it is seen as a check to box item.

@FortWayneCPA #3 I imagine more people will go off to start their own firm as a knee jerk reaction only to realize they didn’t plan well and are still working lots of hours.

@TBDBITL @RoseParade When/where will the rehearsals be held here in Dallas for the Cotton Bowl?
