@SiegelMicha Most people only had one home when stepped-up basis was enacted. As we can see in England, estate taxes can be brutal. Would you agree to a homestead exemption policy, or do you think it all needs to be taxed?

@AtlantaTaxes Most VA and FHA loans are assumable. So you probably don't need to pay a company a 1% fee to find those for you, especially when so many counties have searchable property databases at the Register of Deeds.

@TahxSnahx Credentials matter for audit and tax representation. Competency comes from doing the work, not a test. I am not a fan of pros referring out work until they have attempted to do it firsr. Refer out for a review to a trusted source because we learn by doing.

@CjRyding There's nothing wrong with that. There is zero indication that is the case here. Our fee is higher, so they didn't change for that reason.

@wndywitch No, that is what they paid last year. We charge significantly more than that. Many people change preparers because they aren't getting good service.

@thevalueartist Well, you have software, CE, E&O insurance, overhead, and yes, we need to pay ourselves. I'm sure some of that depends on the software you use and your volume. We use Intuit products, and they aren't cheap.

@harpua71burner @bsuecannon I've had those, too! One guy two years ago kept calling and harassing the receptionist, so I finally took the call to tell him to knock it off. He said I should help him because "I know this stuff and he didn't."

@FortWayneCPA @robbhurstCPA What parts do you think are salvageable? I think we need a new model.

@JTheAccountant Whatever good intentions USAID started out with doesn't excuse what it became.

@elonmusk Medicare needs to be self-funding, as unpopular as that will be. Lift the cap on FICA taxes. Investigate the $50B waste estimated by GAO.

@sarahcstock Fertility in women starts to decrease at 30. Many women won't be able to naturally conceive one child, much less two in their 40s. There is around a 5% chance of getting pregnant then. Extended fertility is a myth contributing to our declining birth rates.

@MargoinWNC Until we can eliminate school shooters, I think kids need emergency access to phones. My daughter's school has a no phones out policy. Kids keep them in their bookbags until after school. It works well.

@CPATaxTeam Stories like this are why I think there should be a firm line between financial advisors and tax professionals.
