You know you’re in L.A. when you’re having lunch on Sunset Boulevard, watching an influencer walk by 10x to get just the right video clip.

So tempted to photobomb…

We look for comedies. We had plenty of drama when our kid was a teenager…😜😃

If you have any suggestions I’m all ears.

So many people have hailed him as a genius for so long that he actually believes it and thinks that he’s smarter than most people. But he’s not.

All Trump cares about are a) self aggrandizement, and b) lining his pockets.

I heard that within 24 hours of Kirk’s death TPUSA was selling merchandise “honoring” him. Birds of a feather..

I’m doing good. At home, trying…and largely failing to sit around and do nothing but relax.

Just not in my nature to let someone else do all the work.

Thanks for the link. Totally agree - worth the read and food for thought.

Here’s the big question: how do we get back from here? I don’t think we can do that without a lot of pain at this point.

And everyone acts like it’s normal…

Of all the things that I had on my”what could go wrong the week before the corporate tax return filing deadline” bingo card,”have a heart attack” wasn’t one of them.

But I did.

Fortunately, I will be fine, and Dwayne and Teddy are making sure I rest and stay out of trouble.

Per the speaker, they didn’t.

I didn’t say anything about AI. I said that the site was likely done by a non-native English speaker - and possibly Russian.

Read a bio of Sinatra where the author talked about Frank and Bing’s toupees. Each dissed the other for having one, while totally missing the irony..

Ms. Chloe Furrypants wishes everyone a happy International Cat Day.

Hey #TaxSky, below is a fake website that has stolen someone’s presentation and is purportedly putting on a seminar with it. Pretty sure the only thing that will happen is that purchasers will have their info stolen.

DO NOT buy CPE from them.

Ummm…

A nuclear reactor? In low gravity? How’s that going to work?

And why? Who’s going to use the power?

Will I be aggravated afterwards? Should I have a dram beforehand (will probably need one after)?

I also saw that he said he “probably” won’t seek an (unconstitutional and disallowed) third term..

At the very least, a toddler.

But probably a fascist. Just need a little more information first. 😂

Any thoughts about the CPB apparently shutting down?

Personally I think it’s tragic, but not surprising. Keeping people in the dark allows them to stay in power..and keep lining their pockets.

I may have strong feelings about this…

And if you believe that, there’s this nice bridge into Manhattan that I’m looking to unload….

Ok, so who’s the TikTok person telling people to 1031 their personal residence?

Just because Mom is in a nursing facility doesn’t mean she can use 1031 to sell the house for a smaller one that she then gifts to her kids….who rent it out.

In other words, 95% of returns are going to be extended. Only the most basic ones will be filed in the 60 day filing period (which is really 30 days, because 2/16-3/15 is going to be focused on corporate returns).

Hulk Hogan or Chuck Mangione?

Don’t count on it. They will cut workers if Wall Street doesn’t like their quarterly earnings report.

Ours sells annual subscriptions. That gets you a discount on labor and materials…so far, it’s been worthwhile.

At the very least, they stopped any sense of relevance in….1960(ish). Possibly earlier.

Could be worse. You could be stuck in Bakersfield. So…..there?

Except he’s leaving to run for … wait for it … governor.

No sure where to start with that. Sooo many options..

Oh, sorry. We already did that research in 1986….

Now I want one of your cards..

Ok #TaxSky -

Recruiter just reached out to me about a partnership position. I asked what firm, and got “I can’t disclose over messaging.”

So….is it: (a) there is no position and I just want to try and shop you, or

(b) there is a position, but I don’t have a contract with the firm?

Or…?
