Miss our @forbes.com webinar? You can get caught up here -> Dave Camp, former Chair of Ways and Means, and Dean Zerbe, a former Senate tax counsel, talked with Janet Novack and me about the future of Republicans' big tax and budget bill. www.forbes.com/sites/kellyp...

Tired of conferences where people just talk at you? 😴 At #TaxRetreat, it's all about making real connections and learning from each other. The “agenda” is built around having real conversations about stuff that actually matters. Registration’s open and spots are going fast! 👉 www.taxretreat.org

At least for today, Mum’s the word.

Hey there #TaxBS & @taxretreat.org CO peeps! @notthatkaren71.bsky.social and I will be in downtown Denver on Monday and would love to meet up for happy hour! Any takers? @jd-colorado.bsky.social @jennlshort.bsky.social @financialfuture.bsky.social @roamstherange.bsky.social @harwoodandy.bsky.social

Procrastination badge unlocked.

Just spent four delightful days with less than an hour of total screen time. Please don’t fill me in on what I missed.

I may still be working like April 15th is on the horizon, but at least I’ve fun visitors stopping by my office window.

Gold star!

Anyone available to file my tax return? I’m too busy doing everyone else’s.

Every time I open this app I hear a version of Blue Skies play in my head. If I am feeling calm and grounded, it’s Willie. If I am feeling happy and upbeat, it’s Ella. If I am feeling anxious, it’s Ella with scat.

Feels appropriate with six days left on the countdown clock.

Are pancakes just waffles with abs?

Just over here living the dream. One nightmare at a time.

Calgon take me away.

Hear me out ... what if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about?

Say it isn't so, @taxretreat.org!!!

You were done being productive today anyways!!! Go sign up!

Tomorrow is April Fools. So many options, so little lime to plan.

It’s time to make the donuts.

Scammers cannot believe their good luck! Now what they will think to deduct? With Long at the helm, IRS staff overwhelm', Tax cheaters will soon run amok! ….1/2

This is not how you treat your tax pro friend.

See y’all in Denver!!

🎉🥳🎉Ok pancakes, take a seat! It’s time to celebrate National Flapjack Day!! 🎉🥳🎉

March forth!

6:04 on a Tuesday evening feels like about the right time to actually open my tax software and get started doing some client work. Or maybe I’ll procrastinate a little more.

I’ll take this as an opportunity to thank some of the outstanding employees at the IRS who have helped us out lately. Recently Mr. Gomez assisted with an entity classification issue. And Mr. Owens fixed a misapplied payment problem for another. Let’s show some love #TaxSky

Today is one of those days I wish Authenticator wasn’t on my phone. Getting distracted doesn’t get things done.

What an amazing Valentine gift! I got a surprise visit with @cbriancpa.com 🥰

Bill introduced yesterday: “H.R.1161 - To authorize the President to enter into negotiations to acquire Greenland and to rename Greenland as ‘Red, White, and Blueland’.” www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Breakfast tacos are amazing. That is all.

Found an app I don’t use super frequently still had my access set as 2FA - sending an email to the email that was also my username. It had been the only option when I signed up a few years ago. This is not good enough protection for apps that hold taxpayer info. Gotta protect the PII #TaxBS

To those of you who say nothing is impossible, I accept your challenge and will endeavor to accomplish nothing today.

What the actual crazy blow up the ability of the government to function is this? Will anyone be left at the IRS to pick up a phone? www.opm.gov/fork

For the love of all things sacred in #TaxSky please make sure your WISP is up to date. Data breach scare today. Entire day trying working through it and check all the boxes. Found some holes in ours and have them plugged. Can’t imagine where we would be if we have our WISP as a place to start.

Just got off a long call with a client. Did I miss anything?

How many of these do I need to eat before they start working?

So this is what cold feels like?

Okay, #TaxSky & #TaxBS, time for another recruiting and reposting drive. Please repost this in your skyline so that other tax nerds not already here can be assimilated into the collective. go.bsky.app/GK2wteb

Great advice! Also be careful for emails from the “IRS” and software providers asking for info they should already have. They do not need to verify your EFIN or PTIN. Scammers are out there trying to get our client data and trying to pretend to be us to file fraudulent returns.

I like USBs but I don’t knots that off call myself a “fan.”

Happy Day of Unrealized Resolutions!

I skip one workout and my body is like, “what?!? I thought we were done with this nonsense!”

Give your best this holiday season, if you can! Fewer than 3% of eligible donors will give blood this year. It’s not too late to join that elite group. Plus they give out snacks!

Eternally grateful that Ernest saved Christmas.

Gray skies are gonna clear up!

Werfel: “Will it be perfect? I don’t think it will ever be perfect….But brick by brick, phone line by phone line, increment by increment, we are on a multi-year journey. We are getting better. We recognize there are gaps and we have plans to address the gaps.”

Lucky last minute invite to hear Werfel and former Commissioner Gibbs speak at @utlaw.bsky.social School yesterday about the need for the IRS to be above politics, the importance of leadership continuity and how funding is vital to building and maintaining a well-run tax system.

Here I go shenaniganning again!

I’m ready for some shenanigans! Who’s with me?

But not as much as we love tacos!
