Hello. I’m sorry I can’t come to the blog right now. I am either:

A) Trapped under something heavy and cannot reach the keyboard,

B) Digging in the dirt and wondering why I did not discover this gardening thing years ago,

C) Trying to hide from the eleventy billion Facebook friend confirmation requests I received in the last week  (and wondering how this is possible considering I do not have a Facebook account),

D) Banging my head against my desk at work counting the days until April 15th Freedom Day, or

E) Sleeping.

Ha! That last one. So funny.

Okay people, I just joined Facebook against my better judgment. Because you begged.

I have been assimilated.

Who gets done first?

No dead animals or insects yet, but tax season is young. I have not seen many individual returns so far, which is where I usually find such presents. Instead, I have been mired in corporations, S corporations, partnerships, and LLC’s.

In theory, you would think corporations go to the front of the preparation list since they are due March fifteenth, one whole month before partnership and individual returns.

In practice, partnerships come first. Why? Because all those partners want their K-1’s NOW so they can report their partnership earnings on their income tax returns.

Unless you are the parent of a college bound student who needs your individual tax return done just as soon as humanly possible for your kid’s FASFA application, in which case YOU get your return done first, even though many other people sent in their information before you did. Big Kahuna says jump, I say how high.

But I can secretly loathe you and your line-jumping ways, oh yes I can.
