I've been sitting in bed with my laptop doing homework for the last two hours (ish). Whaaat a crazy day... all of our clients must have woken up this morning and realized that it's almost April and that they need to get their taxes done. Oops!
I don't really understand anything about taxes. Yes, I have worked at a CPA firm for the past three years, and I can probably provide you with the IRS address that you need, but that's about it. And I cannot figure out why our clients are so terrified at the idea of filing an extension on their taxes--almost all of the CPA's that work in my office file extensions for their OWN taxes. Again, I know very little, but I am shocked every year at the horror clients express when the dreaded "extension" is mentioned. (Besides, why shouldn't we be able to finish your taxes before April 15th? YOU are obviously are most important client!) Is this fear warranted?!
If anyone should be terrified, it is the accountants! Several clients bring in SHOPPING BAGS that contain every scrap of paper that they've collected over the past year...receipts, mail, toe nail clippings, checks they forgot to deposit, etc. Showing off the bag to the accountants is the best part though--I can see the fear in their eyes as they nervously laugh about who's going to get stuck with that and then duck away to their office to try and look like they are completely swamped with work.
Ok, well I had no intention of talking about work and especially not about taxes. I look at taxes all day, I do them in my sleep, I think I even smell like them. Anyways, I just wanted to show off my sweet boyfriend and our dogs.
As I was admiring them (our dogs are not always so peaceful), and thinking about how lucky I am, they started a snore-off. I believe that Miloh (the smallest dog) started it, but Adam definitely finished it :)
