lol, for those being entertained by this ridiculous saga, here is Lex calling me a cunt twice (which by definition is “repeatedly”). Once again showing that Lex doesn’t understand words, can’t remember her own words and reposts her words without reading/understanding her own words. 😂

How many clients of yours are moving out of the US this year? My count so far is two confirmed, two potential. And I DON’T have a very large client list. #TaxBS

@taxsky Okay, I know all of you didn’t go back to Twitter/X but no one seems to be here anymore or posting often. Where can I find the old community engagement?

Such freaking BS. The contractor was identified, prosecuted, convicted and is serving a 5yr sentence. His employer (Booz Allen Hamilton) lost their federal contract. We don’t need a BS conspiracy led investigation because Trump alleges others knew & waste millions before he inevitably dismisses?

I’d prefer that he was pushed out long before that. He is an ineffective Ieader who cannot communicate effectively. He has the same tired demeanor and talking points of the “consultants” that keep the Democrats from achieving transformational change when they’re in power.

So if this POS knows that people in fear get into “fight or flight” instinct, the police/ICE certainly are trained to understand that which is why they shouldn’t escalate or place themselves in front of a vehicle and then shout contradictory commands and point a gun at an unarmed person.

If you aren’t calling these people to scream at them not to fucking cave, what are you even doing? Trump is fighting in court for people on SNAP to go hungry. Rs have EXPLICITLY stated they will NOT extend the ACA subsidies and the Ds are going to fucking cave & lose the only leverage they have?

Patiently waiting for all the “free speech” conservatives & TwitterFiles conspiracy nuts to condemn this bullshit from Clay Higgins. Also, Mr. Higgins is an idiot that doesn’t realize Jay Graber is a woman. He’s also a suck up trying to score points by including Trump Media. Pathetic.

REPORTER: Should Israel be doing more to allow food in Gaza? TRUMP: Say it? R: Should Israel be doing more to allow food? T: What is she saying? SOMEONE: Should Israel be doing more to allow food in Gaza? T: You really at least want to have somebody say thank you. We gave $60m for food for Gaza

#TaxBS Would you ever agree to fix one year of payroll tax returns for a SMLLC owner that put themself on payroll but not fix earlier years at the request of the client (basically as a cost control issue on their part)? Not sure I should agree and amend one year when three are actually required.

@mcuban.bsky.social I seem to remember you saying something like ‘even if AI occasionally gets it wrong, it’s great’. What about when the richest man in the world doesn’t like what it says so he manipulates it. Is that still good for humanity?

Client: Can you amend my return? Me: Yes, fee is (range) depending on what you need to change, how many forms are involved, etc. Client: Oh, I just need to show $75k in income. I don’t really care what you change. Me: Uh…no. This sounds like mortgage fraud. Client: Yeah, so what? #TaxBS

#TaxBS Does anyone know how long it normally takes for a 2024 return to be processed on the backend before you can establish a payment plan? Client’s return was submitted weeks ago but she can’t set up a payment plan because it’s still “pending”.

Is that a fucking cross? Are they really saying the “ideas” that are illegal are anything not Christian? I know they’re shameless but are we really at this point??

“Community college is practically free” is bullshit. When I worked a full-time job and tried to get through community college, I earned too much to qualify for any financial aid but not enough to pay tuition in cash and my rent/bills. Being just above poverty leaves ppl w/no assistance.

Five alarm fire!! Get loud, people. We cannot allow them to share this data with no evidence of criminal conduct or there will no longer be privacy related to taxpayer data—ANY taxpayer (well, except for Trump and his merry band of misfits).

I am so disgusted by this administration. Their cruelty and explicit erasure of transgender people is abhorrent. I really hope there are attorneys planning to immediately fight this order.

I watched the first few seconds and then I turned it off. I dreaded watching it, so I put it off for days. I am a rural Missourian, and so is Skylar, but unlike Skylar, I am a Democrat — I voted in his best interest while he voted against mine. jesspiper.substack.com/p/the-tiktok...

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

This is absolutely heartbreaking. The cruelty being inflicted by this administration & the companies/organizations falling in line by choice because of “funding” concerns is appalling. They said they weren’t trying to erase transgender people’s existence. What the fuck else can you call it?

#TaxBS Does anyone have a good resource about the deductibility (or nondeductibility) of mold removal & remediation for a home. I’ve found good resources for business property but conflicting & outdated info about medical expense deduction for mold removal.

The same ppl who scream “anonymous sources can’t be trusted” when they were exposing lies/corruption on the Right use & expect us to believe their anonymous sources when it suits them. And journalists protect these sources to maintain access even after they repeatedly manipulate them this way.

This is NOT true. Simply being present in the US is not a capital crime. Go back and read the paragraph over again. Stop misrepresenting this. Things are bad enough without needing to lie/misrepresent what they’re doing.

Hey #TaxBS, who was that dude that kept saying AI was going to eliminate all our jobs by the end of 2025 (I think that was his timeline). Looks like AI is a little dumber than he realized. If it’s too stupid to recognize 27 < 32, how exactly is is going to eliminate bookkeepers & tax pros?

Okay, #TaxBS. Did anyone use IRIS last year to file 1099s directly for free instead of the online apps like Track1099 or efile4biz and, if so, how did it go? I attempted to register too close to the deadline.
