People skills and the lack therof

[skate1968]

Ok, here goes:

"[I, my brother, my mom, my friend} am/is very appreciative of you. And i know that you are an excellent [butcher, doctor, daycare owner, whatever].

But about this tax thing. I've looked at this quite a bit.

Any first year IRS agent will have a screaming orgasm if they look at this."


:scratch head:

I'm also thinking of saying that "there's a far less costly way of achieving this."

anyhoo, this is a rhetorical question.

this makes no sense. its rambling has no question, answer, or information. What were you posting and why were you posting it?

Sorry, i'm an admin/mod at antoher forum where everyone knows that i am a tax preparer.

The other forum, "my forum" is tanking.

Please be patient with me.

Hi folks,

sorry about all of that

at the moment i'm doing taxes for folks. i am a tax preparer.

in layman's terms a business owner came to me with a 6,500 deduction for what an irs agent would view as "nonsense."

stay well

So did you say this or was this fictional? Do you lack people skills?

I don't get it either...

I think he's trying to say that he has no people skills and would like to express that he's going to use tax laws to destroy this forum, just as he did to that other forum he frequents. He also intends to work on our teeth, butcher us, do things to our children that we won't care for and also do some nasty whatever.

skate1968, I think it may be best you stop posting until this storm that you're going through blows over, whatever it is.

Hey JHZ & everyone,

Again, i wasn't being clear. At the moment i am at the end of my rope. It's tax season. And i am a "deer in headlights" as we say.

I do have a business return in which my client has 6,500 of expenses that are misclassified. In addition to that he other issues that were big red flags. His prior "tax accountant" did not do him any favors -- far from it.

And he is a friend and he is intelligent.

But i am going to disagree with him, his accounant and the way that he's been doing business for 20 years.

I have dealt with several irs agents. and i do know that they would have a field day with him.

and my apologies to Helen for the poor choice of words. JHZ or whomever might want to insert [screaming field day] in place of the bad word.

Someone at H & R Block or Hewitt might have just signed off this fellow's return.

 

[GreeCguy]

I think he is saying "Big Brother" lacks people skills as his original post sounds a lot like "new speak."

 

[Kruse]

I have a SIL and a BIL that are both tax preparers. They are pulling out their hair and talking incoherently this time of year also.

 

[TechnoLoGs]

?

I am sorry, I read through the thread, and I am not seeing a clear explanation of the problem, except from some possible frustration, and even then, I am not seeing the source.

I did LOL at Screaming Big O, though.

Could this be the first X-file we have had?

 

[tom slick]

Give it to them straight. If they don't like doing it correctly they can find someone else.

I have family in the tax business. They've been known to "fire" clients because they'd rather not put up with their mess and arguements.

Pull out your hair and rend your garments as you will, but please just skip the nasty whatevers. Speak in tongues if you like. It's all the same. All the rest are bad enough, but the nasty whatevers...that frightens me so

Well, you know how it is. It's your fault, of course, if someone can't claim his home entertainment system as part of his business expenses. I don't do tax preparation, but in my businesses, I see people try all kinds of nonsense, from stupidity to outright fraud.

Of course, some are just so innumerate they have no idea, and actually don't mean any harm.
