who are the personal accountants here? I have been doing Intuit for years but want to have someone take a look at my personal taxes this year. Still waiting on a few tax forms but would like to start discussions with some one on prices and such.

I was thinking Spoon Man which is so far below every song they have ever released.

Need a thread to name songs that need to be hated much more than commonly believed.

Oh ya, locke, usually quick and you can gossip about this place and see swords (not that one) and maybe have a whiskey.

I have always said...when I decide it's my last year before retirement I want to work for H&R Block in one of those cubicles at the Mall.

The whiskey has to be requested in advance.

You're just lucky because I pour for you out of my Private Reserve.

I can’t even imagine the type of people they get there. How do you just be in a mall and think “Now. Now is when I do my taxes. It will be right now.”

Me neither. Thats why I want to see it. I need to see it. Thats gotta be a wild experience for a Tax Preparer!

I have to do it. I'm jaded, I've been doing Taxes for 24 years and I think I've pretty well seen it all...but I would have no idea what to expect from Randos at the Mall.

Hit me. Lets do this.

It's almost a payday loan place. Does money mart not exist anymore? I rarely see it.

Thats almost exactly what it is. They take a huge cut of your refund for 'convenience.'

Which I find wild.

I get that 'Adulting' is hard, but come on...its Taxes. Its not like they spring it on you at random moments, everyone with a job, career, education, etc. knows its coming and when. You can plan and prepare for it.

"But I need my Tax Refund RIGHT NOW!!"

Its not a Bank Loan. You should not be earmarking your Tax Refund to float your bills for a couple months.

Some people....actually a lot more than you'd think, count on their Tax Refund to pay their Property Taxes, but those are both things you can plan for.

We...as an industry...are never going to live that commercial down.

I cant even imagine it. You think you might get some guy with a 3 hour training seminar under his belt but then you roll up and get me? A guy with a few decades and tens of thousands of Tax Returns in experience?

I think it would be insane. Which is why I want to do it. Just one season. Just one. And then I ride off into the Sunset like Butch Cassidy. (I know he is subsequently murdered. I consider that as a bonus.)

Some dope walks in there looking to get his tax return deposited ASAP and next thing he knows he’s two hours deep into an explanation of exactly what’s wrong with the CRA and why the Unabomber was actually a misunderstood folk hero.

Well I dont dabble in Unibomber theory for the most part but if Ted was around in these days he'd probably have a Presidential pardon and a White House Job.

Worst case scenario with me is usually Star Trek banter.
