Memo: Turn In Statements- Deadlines

Hi friends! This message is for my accounting service clients.

Please turn in all monthly financial related forms and statements to me by the 20th of the month.

This includes:
- bank statements
- credit card statements
- income summaries, if applicable

For payroll customers, please inform me of any changes to the normal scheduled payroll checks. If no changes (example, changes in hours worked, or raise in rates) are made, the default amounts will be printed.

Statements can be mailed to me, faxed, or simply just drop them off. Please use my current address. I will inform you later when our PO Box is ready.

If you cannot send me the required information, please let me know as soon as possible! I cannot guarantee you all required monthly or quarterly tax forms can be completed on time if they are turned in after the 20th of the month.

Thanks for your cooperation!

Back from the Philippines!

Hi folks! Or should I say, "Magandang umaga po?" ...good morning. Just got back from the Philippine Islands. I had a great time seeing family and making new friends. I now have a few "text buddies". LOL! Philippines is the texting capital of the universe.

Hi! Back from Lanai! ... business IS pleasure.

Alooooooha. (Haha! Who actually says "aloha" anymore?)

I just got back from Lanai tonight. Sorry that I couldn't come in contact with some of you earlier because our flight got delayed twice due to heavy heavy rain. So yes, it's 10:29pm right now and I'm up working to catch up.

Anyway, I had a great time in Lanai. Got wet, drank some margaritas, and did some business. Yes... business! You knew I would bring my laptop to the hotel room, and some business cards to the bar, right? Yes, there are ways that you can turn your vacation into a working vacation. So please, save those travelling receipts!

Plane ticket: $130
Hotel room: ouch.
Gas: $60 ...it takes you less than 1 minute to drive across town!! Seriously! Don't blink.

Updated Links

Hi friends! I updated the links on the right side of this page. I included two pages that many people have been asking about- "fees" and "services." Check it out, and as always, email if you have any questions.

Questions?

Usually when people find out I prepare tax returns, I get all kinds of questions- Eric, can I deduct this? That? Should I incorporate?

Usually, I get a lot of the same questions over and over. Therefore, every now and then I'll post some answers, some one word answers, and sometimes I'll use scenarios to answer your questions.

So, if you got a question, write me an email. If you ask me in person, don't expect a straight answer on the spot. The truth is, tax consultants need a lot more information before they can give you a sufficient answer.

In the meantime, I'll just do a Q&A here with many of the questions I've been asked before. Hope it helps!

It's October 15!!

... leave me alone!
