Accountant Finally Finishes His Taxes

I wasn’t too concerned about the April 17th deadline, since I had a pretty solid grasp on where we stood and knew we’d be getting at least a small refund. Our state refund was right where I thought it’d be, but in the end our federal was almost triple what I thought it was going to be.
You see, I forgot about something, though it shouldn’t have been far from my mind since almost every client had a photocopied news article or printed out email about it included with the paperwork they brought in: the telephone excise tax refund.
In the end, the state will be dropping a cool Hamilton back into our account in a week or two while we’ll get $78 back from the Feds when I was only expecting $25.
Quite the windfall, huh? I’ll have to try not to spend it all in one place…

I know the feeling to well….. try being responsible for over 100 clients tax returns, stressful isn’t the word
The best advice is to try and keep on top of things during the year, Its easier said than done, but I think it sets your mind at rest when you know you have already done 60% of your accounts a month before the deadline.
Nice post, Phill
