And the business extensions are all out the door

Well I'm feeling pretty good, all of my extensions are complete.  But that feel good moment was short lived ------- I just remembered I have 6.3 million individual returns to get out by the April 19th due date.  But then again, my printer is still working and so is my staple puller, so I'm back to feeling good again.  But as long as I'm here, I need to fulfill my @joshuabarksatlcs duties:

 

Dr O’Mahony tells his patient, “I have bad news and worse news, Paddy.”

“Oh dear,” Paddy replies, “What’s the bad news?”

The doctor says, “You only have 24 hours to live.”

“That’s terrible,” says Paddy, “How can the terrible news possibly be worse?”

Dr O’Mahony replies, “I’ve been trying to contact you since yesterday.”

 

And yeah, I know the due date is 4/18 - I just wanted to see if anyone was still paying attention to me.

Go ahead and take a couple of days off since we have those extra 4 days this year.

Had 3 S corp extensions rejected due to IRS not processing 2553's timely.  Had to mail those in with a note attached.  A few states had to mail in to.  

I stop accepting new returns as of last Sunday in March, otherwise everyone would wait until last minute.  I get so many drop-offs and Client Portal uploads scheduling is out of my control.

I probably have turned down over 200 potential clients.  No time, no staff, no toner or staples.  My two tax season favorite songs:  I Don't Care Anymore and Running on Empty.

During tax season, I tend to lean towards Highway to Hell as my favorite.

And there's always "Taxman" by the Beatles.

John used to sing that to me when we first started dating.  I married him anyway.

When I grow up, I want to be like Tom Hagen.  "Tom Hagen: I have a special practice. I handle one client....

As to the extra 4 days for this tax season, sadly, I blew it in Vegas earlier in February already....


I come here for kudos and IRonMaN's jokes.

And I thought you moved to Maine or Massachusetts.  😂

Well, they are "M" states so I see where you could have been confused.  Maybe I should have said April 20th to avoid the confusion 😆
