- All of my GOP friends who are worried about 87,000 IRS enforcement agents coming after the little guy... How about just don't cheat on tax returns? A fully truthful and accurate tax return is bulletproof in an audit. I never understood the fear of an IRS audit. Don't lie. Period.
- Great. So now we have HEROES Act and HEALS Act. Which, if you rearrange the letters of HEROES and HEALS, you can get the ASSHOLE HERE Act. #TaxTwitterGOP propose a second round of $1,200 stimulus checks. Mnuchin wants to finalize legislation by July 31 cnbc.com/2020/07/27/rep… via @LorieKonish
- Me: I need your expenses off your credit card for 2020. Client: $35k M: I need a breakdown of that $35k C: About $3k/mo M: .................................................................... The struggle is real. #TaxTwitter

- Replying to @adammarkowitzEAI get that it's a headache to go through and audit. Nobody wants to do that. And I get that it's costly to go through an audit and nobody ever wins when an audit comes knocking. But enforcement is important. Catching the cheats lowers the liability the rest of us need to pick up.
- If you could spare a few thoughts for my grandfather again, I'd appreciate it. He fell last night and is basically bleeding uncontrollaby. He won't be here more than maybe a day or two more per Hospice. Taxes shall have to wait. Appreciate your thoughts, friends.
- Me: I need ______ for your tax return. Client: You have that already. Me: Clearly, I don't if I'm asking for it. Client: I know I sent it to you. Can you go back and check? God help us all get through these next 4 days. #TaxTwitter
- Replying to @adammarkowitzEAOf course, if the audit isn't clean, the government doesn't pay that and the one being audited is SOL to pay the tax pro their fees. But all y'all W-2 only folks worrying about audits are worried about nothing. #TaxTwitter
- It's with a heavy heart but with a sense of relief that I just found out my grandfather passed away tonight. He's in such a better place now than before thankfully, but he'll be sorely missed. Thank you #TaxTwitter fam for all your support. Y'all are the best.
- Have a client who got an IRS notice he owes $1,100. IRS calc'd the excess SS wrong, and we sent them a letter and copies of all the W-2s to prove that they're wrong and we're right. IRS sent back a letter saying client owes the money. Client just decided to pay it. #TaxTwitter
- I don't care if roses are red or violets are blue. You still can't depreciate land. #TaxTwitter
- You get zero warnings: Rude to my staff, you're finding a new accountant 100 times out of 100. Somebody FA'd and FO'd within minutes that he made a mistake. Be nicer to your next tax pro. #TaxTwitter
