@IraGilligan Throughout my career starting in 1986, that is the most common response I've had from people. Wasn't looking forward to doing other people's tax returns on my own back then. I am now. Today, I do several tax returns on my own and am looking to expand upon that.

@IraGilligan I remember being at a seminar with the Ohio Society of CPAs. OSCPA president J. Clarke Price said he had someone in his office who said you know your secretary has a tattoo on her ankle. He replied, what the hell you doing looking at her ankle?

@cbriancpa @AICPA I worked at one firm where the policy was that any client who hasn't come in yet gets an extension. We would file extensions for all clients going 3 years back. This was when two extensions were filed for individuals. The first one was automatic and the second had to be approved.

@PKubeyEA In two different years, I had the same accounting professor at Cleveland State University during the Spring Quarter. Since he was Jewish, he would not conduct class during Passover. He would videotape his lectures, send them to the school to be shown to the class during Passover.

@PKubeyEA The fridge would have been a nice bonus. Some lunch meat, bread, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise and Cokes inside would be much appreciated.

@BillKinneyCPA I know it's crazy. My employer can't seem to communicate with one of our clients with an email. Luckily, two attorneys share the office with us and somehow we can use one of the attorney's email to communicate with the client.

@MikeSyl36625988 At the age of 60, I have no plans to fully retire from the profession. In a few years from now, I plan to go into semi-retirement form. Full time during busy season and part time the rest of the year. This is the reason why that I feel my ambitions are still good.

@wifemomcpa100 True. All this last minute stuff they've been doing in Washington is frustrating.

@ForemanTaxLaw I just don't understand this. With all this talk about paper reduction and going paperless, I find it odd that tax returns seem to get larger and larger each year. it's crazy.

@castrovince In the 1980s, the Cleveland Indians had a catcher named Chris Bando. He was in a severe hitting slump that the Cleveland Plain Dealer beat writer wrote, "Chris Bando was checking out all the bats in the Tribe dugout saying "there's got to be a hit in one these bats.""

@MikeSyl36625988 One time had a client who sold a building. When asked how much he bought the building for he say, "lots of money, lots of money $350,000." When asked if he had paperwork on the purchase, he replies, "no, no paperwork, I paid cash." Don't know if he did have any paperwork.
