Wait November 24, 2020
I sometimes listen to music while working. I have a ~900 song playlist I cycle through, and today White Lion’s Wait came on. (White Lion was a hair band–if you watch the linked video, you will see why.) And it seemed an entirely apropos title to this post: a post where we’re dealing with PPP […]

When It Takes the IRS 5+ Months to Process an Amended Return… November 18, 2020
Back in May, clients of mine discovered they left something out of their 2018 tax return. We prepared an amended return, the clients included a check for the additional tax, and it was mailed off to Kansas City. The check was cashed in July, so the amended return was received. Fast forward to today. The […]

IRS Mailing Erroneous CP259F Notices November 4, 2020
We prepare a few split-interest charitable trust returns (IRS Form 5227) every year. Coincidentally, I serve as trustee of a split-interest trust. Imagine my surprise when I received a CP259F Notice from the IRS for the trust that I am trustee of stating, “You didn’t file a Form 5227.” The only problem is that I […]

It’s Time to Panic September 30, 2020
As I write this, it’s September 30th. Two weeks from tomorrow is Thursday, October 15, 2020. That’s the deadline for individual taxpayers on extension to file their tax returns (except for those in disaster areas such as the fires that impacted California, Oregon, and Washington). If you have yet to send your paperwork to your […]

The Dead Need Not Amend (Even When They Have To) September 25, 2020
When I eventually go to the pearly gates, I assume I’ll be leaving income tax behind. It would be a rather rude surprise to find I have lifetime employment in the great beyond, too. This past week I needed to amend a 2019 federal return. A couple left off one item from their return. It […]

The Perils of Waiting to the Last Minute September 17, 2020
The extended deadline for partnership and S-Corporation tax returns was this past Tuesday, and all of our returns were completed and filed that could be (but one). And that one client understood the issues with late filing–but more on that in a moment. However, we were lucky in that we don’t use software from Wolters […]

At Least The IRS Could Find 95% of the Returns… September 3, 2020
Two items crossed my in-box within a few minutes of each other this morning. The first was a blog post from the National Taxpayer Advocate requesting that Congress give multi-year funding for modernizing IRS computer systems. The second was a TIGTA report noting the IRS couldn’t find about 5% of tax returns requested. Do you […]

IRS Extends Tax Deadlines for Victims of Iowa Derecho & California Wildfires August 25, 2020
The IRS announced yesterday that they have extended tax deadlines for victims of both the derecho that hit Iowa and the ongoing California wildfires. The specific counties impacted can be found on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) website. For both disasters, tax deadlines are extended that began on August 10th for the derecho and […]

More on the IRS Daily Fantasy Sports Memo (“DFS Is Gambling”) August 20, 2020
There has been some speculation in the gambling world on (1) why did the IRS memo on Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) suddenly appear, and (2) is the IRS correct about the non-precedential memo? Chris Krafcik on Twitter asked, ” Has anybody gotten to the why of the IRS DFS memo? Working backwards from the targets […]

That Direct Deposit from “IRS TREAS 310” Is Legitimate August 19, 2020
Taxpayers who filed after April 15th are being paid interest on their refunds. The IRS issued a press release earlier this week, stating: This week the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service will send interest payments to about 13.9 million individual taxpayers who timely filed their 2019 federal income tax returns and are receiving […]
