Top 10 Things Tax Preparers Will Not Tell You

SmartMoney had an article by Janet Paskin of the top 10 things your tax preparer won’t tell you and I thought I’d highlight them here.

1. “A big name doesn’t always mean better service.”

2. “You wouldn’t believe what I get away with.”

3. “You’d be better off without me.”

4. “What are my qualifications? Well, I’m real good at Sudoku.”

5. “If it’s February, you’re too late.”

6. “You hired me, but your return is being done by some guy in India.”

7. “Taxes, shmaxes — let me see what else I can sell you.”

8. “If I screw up, I’ll pay up.”

9. “Tax preparation is an art, not a science.”

10. “You could find a much better deal if you’d only shop around.”

Anti-Power Thought for the Day

Am I just crabby or did reading that by our mid-forties over 9000 brain cells are dying a DAY just hit me wrong??!!

WTF? Can I just catch a break here or what?

Do you think all of my dying brain cells are concentrated in the area of my brain that remembers where my keys are?

I guess the crabby thing is just the first stage of grieving all of those die offs, but the good news is I probably won’t even remember writing this by morning…
