Who's ready to start Retreating!!! Will your name show up here?

Those of you who've been to the @taxretreat.org know our anti-conference hasn't had CPE for our sessions, but this year is different! Thanks to The Collaboration Room, @rdriscollcpa.bsky.social and @fortwaynecpa.bsky.social for sponsoring CPE (and CE for eligible sessions) 🎉 #TaxRetreat26

#TootYourHorn 🎺 @cbriancpa.com#TootYourHornis ready for his vacay to Italy with his new Italian passport to soak up the history and culture. 🇮🇹 Known for his cooking, and loves a strong whiskey. 🍕🥃 Part of the EC helping bring this all together — we’re looking forward to seeing Brian at #TaxRetreat26!

Tax Day at the Post Office: One clerk. A full line. No backup plan. It’s easy to get frustrated—but don’t take it out on the person who showed up. A quick reminder to be patient (and say thank you) today. Tax Day, aka Thank Your Postal Employee Day cbriancpa.com/2026/04/15/t...

The high-level agenda is live. 👀 Check it out, start plotting your days, and lock in your travel plans so you don’t miss a thing. Trust us partner… you’re going to want to be there. 🤠

In Italy, today is Pasquetta 🇮🇹 A day for picnics, fresh air, and spending time outside with family and friends. In the U.S.? 🇺🇸 Accountants are celebrating by… eating leftover Easter candy 🍫 and staring deeply into their spreadsheets.

Nobody knows more about Epstein than @jkbjournalist.bsky.social. She’s absolutely right: the American people can’t lose sight of the fact that the Trump administration is covering up for pedophiles. Keep the pressure up. Follow the money.

“We can’t take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare…” That’s the choice he’s making: abandoning working families while funding his war of choice and handing tax breaks to the wealthy. We can take care of our people. He just doesn’t want to.

@taxretreat.org 🌮 Taste of San Antonio (Special Edition) Today we’re exploring a local delicacy: Breakfast Tacos… with NO tortillas Locals refer to it as “just ingredients,” and it’s deeply rooted in regional tradition. @taxretreat.org #TaxTwitter

As much as it pains me that Italia won’t be in the World Cup again, I thought this post from Twitter was a clever twist on the disappointment. Note, while not perfect in the treatment of LGBTQ+ communities, Italy does recognize same-sex marriages - but still calls it a domestic partnership.

We’re thrilled to announce a surprise keynote for this year’s Retreat... An IRS Agent Who Will Be Reviewing Attendee Returns Live On Stage!!! 🤩 Please email your last 3 years of returns to the portal by April 15th.

It’s March 16. The annual tradition where accountants across America ask themselves: “Why did I become emotionally invested in other people’s partnerships?” Some of us are calm. Some of us are fueled entirely by coffee and spite. Stay strong friends. #TaxBS @taxretreat.org

Friday the 13th Heated Rivalry Edition Monday March 16 is coming… Survive the weekend. #TaxBS

They have floats. I have review notes. #TaxTwitter #CPALife #BusySeason #MardiGras

#TaxTipTuesday Self-employed? Reconcile your 1099s before filing your return. Sometimes the amount reported is higher than the cash you actually received because of other charges. Report the full 1099 income — and deduct the related expenses. Let the good times roll… responsibly. 🎭 #TaxSky

Shared tables. Shared adventures. Same story. I wish you all a happy Valentine's Day.

We were promised flying cars. We got two-factor authentication. GenX - somewhere between Prohibition and Reset Password.

Busy season update.

If I created a simple-to-use Excel add-on to standardize review tick marks for tax firms, would anyone be interested? We've been using a primitive version of this in our firm for years, but I never thought about cleaning it up and packaging it for other people to use.

#TootsAreBack 🎺 and we’re kicking off #TaxRetreat26 with a queen... Mary McDonald 👑 Her unofficial superpower is making people feel wanted, and her unofficial life motto says it all: “It’s just tax. No one’s gonna die.”

Missed Early Bird? It happens. Now you just have a slightly bigger business expense. That’s what write-offs are for, right? 😉 *This is not tax advice.*

They are doing Nazi shit because they are Nazis.

"From her roughly $50,000 annual salary as a data processor in San Diego, Ms. Reedy, 34, spends at least $200 to $300 a week on food delivery." If you're spending at least 20 percent of your salary on *delivered* food, maybe affordability isn't the main issue. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/d...

I've been posting about this for a long time. Time to raise awareness again: the SAVE Act would disenfranchise tens of millions of American women (including myself) whose legal names do not match the names on their birth certificates. Lawyers say a Real ID DL wouldn't suffice to be able to vote.

There’s still a little time left to grab the Early Bird rate for #TaxRetreat26 🐦 in San Antonio, TX. Early bird pricing ends at midnight… (or when one of us wakes up in the morning and flips the switch 😆🤫)

Refund timing for early EITC/ACTC filers Most early filing taxpayers who claim the Earned Income Tax Credit and Additional Child Tax Credit can expect their refunds as early as

He won. He's in office (for life). He's making billions. He has everything (even his coveted Nobel Peace Prize). And yet, scorched earth vengeance consumes him.

Early bird for Tax Retreat 2026 is $300 through January 31, 2026. Price goes up to $350 on February 1. If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it 🙂 #TaxRetreat26 @taxretreat.org Sign up info 👇

I guess it really is busy season. I feel so underwater today! I've spent all morning just trying to catch up on emails and they're still coming in faster than I can get through the backlog!

They aren't always easy to find, but the IRS does provide some great resources to help taxpayers understand tax law changes. Here's a summary to help you understand the tax legislation passes last year. content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USI...

The after-parties at #TaxRetreat are awesome! This was a group outing at a dueling piano bar during the 2025 Retreat — singing badly, laughing a lot, and building real community. Early registration for 2026 runs through Jan 31 💛 @taxretreat.org youtu.be/ehApy45uceU?...

Sadly, I'm sure this is achingly accurate

I hope y'all are enjoying the snow as much as Ryder does!

Martin Luther King Jr. wasn’t asking us to admire the dream. He was asking us to do the work. DEI isn’t about comfort. It’s about accountability — who is heard, who is protected, and who is still expected to wait quietly for inclusion.

January is National Human Trafficking Prevention Month. One thing that's been worrying me about ICE's conduct is that people could masquerade as ICE in their attempt to capture people for human trafficking activities. www.dfps.texas.gov/Investigatio...

Most Americans don't care what the rest of the world thinks of us. Well, you should start caring now.

Karbon didn’t just send us off from #TaxRetreat25 with yummy chocolate bars for the road 🍫 — they also hosted Good Morning Game Time. It brought back memories of waking up early for school and trying to survive first period. 😅 Want to see if you can top it? More info coming soon!

🎉 The first tax deadline of 2026 is here! Q4 2025 Estimated Tax payments are due today (Jan 15). Nothing says “new year” like an old year tax payment. 😉 #TaxSky #TaxBS

ICE shot out a young trans man's eyes for the crime of caring about his neighbors.

Happy birthday @bsuecannon.bsky.social

Yeah man all my friends in Minnesota are buying high viz vests and forming human chains at class dismissals because ICE is targeting and tear gassing schools. I wonder why parents would want information about that.

I'm petty sure my clients won't be anywhere close to "ready" but it's good to know the IRS will be opening e-file on time this year.

Joys of living in Austin.

i have watched the shooter's video. it's going to make you way the fuck madder.

Here's a tip, you might want to tri this pizza 😉 Plus, the deli-cut pepperoni is so much better than that packaged stuff. #AccountantsWhoCook #AccountantsWhoPizza #TriTip
