Coming in to work early is backfiring on me... I'm getting stuff done in the TX office, but its too early to call my West Coast clients to finalize everything!

I almost forgot... today is our 17th anniversary! It’s been an amazing journey, full of headaches, stress, and some pains in the ass but I wouldn’t be happy doing anything else. We’re so grateful for all of our amazing clients!

This cracks me up every time I run across it... From the IRS tax code... "Illegal activities. Income from illegal activities, such as money from dealing illegal drugs, must be included in your income on Schedule 1 (Form 1040 or 1040-SR), line 8, or on Sched- ule C (Form 1040 or 1040-SR) if from your self-employment activity."

We are also n...ot allowing any drop offs of paperwork to our office at the moment. You can still mail, fax or upload, or you can wait until we get our secure drop box in place (hopefully Friday 03/20) to drop your paperwork at the office. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. If you have an in office appointment already scheduled, we will be calling you very soon with more information. We will post more as we know more. See more

Your work expenses may still be deductible! Union Dues & uniforms: There are many rumors flying about your employee expenses Unreimbursed Employee business exp...enses (Union dues, uniforms, equipment, etc.) aren’t deductible on your federal tax return, but are still deductible at the state level, for some states, including CA. MANY other local tax preparation places are NOT allowing their clients to take these as deductions. It DOES save you money to add up these expenses and deduct them on your tax return. On average, my clients saved $828 (anywhere from $60 to $3,310) on their 2018 tax returns, by taking these deductions. So its definitely worth looking into. It does cost more in preparation fees when you have itemized deductions, but we always weigh the benefits before proceeding. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) signed into law on December 22, 2017, made changes to the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). In general, California Revenue and Taxation Code (R&TC) does not conform to the changes.
