if you are an American,

🙂 are you good?

it’s officially tax season crunch-time folks!

You know what that means: sweaty searches for your W2 and paralyzing fear over whether you owe or not! 🙂

Will it be a return for you this year or will you be looking for a third job to cover that amount due? 🙃

I’m right there with you friends.

Let my humble contribution below, bring you some laughs as you languish to help combat the Sunday Scaries. 🐀❤️

Living in an at-will state is so wild. My boss can fire me because they don't like me, but won't because then I can file for unemployment. So they try to get people to quit.

I have multiple co-workers who agree that I am being bullied, harassed, but I have no protection. Missouri doesn't have any kind of harassment laws, unless it's explicitly discriminatory and even then you have to really fight to prove it.

I'm not the only one being treated poorly, but I might be the most aggressively spite-fueled. The whole situation is infuriating.

Anyway.

Fuck corporations.

Go free file your taxes, it's not that hard.

Maximizing Tax Refunds: Proven Strategies to Keep More Money

Are you eager to make the most of your tax refund this year? With Tax Season looming, it’s the perfect time to explore strategies that can help you maximize your refund and keep more money in your pocket. While taxes might not be the most thrilling topic, the prospect of increasing your refund certainly is! Let’s delve into some proven strategies that can assist you in optimizing your tax situation.

Stay Organized Throughout the Year: One of the simplest yet most effective ways to boost your tax refund is by staying organized. Maintain a file or system to store all tax-related documents, receipts, and financial records. Keeping track of expenses, charitable donations, medical bills, and other deductible items throughout the year ensures you don’t miss out on potential deductions when filing your taxes.

Take Advantage of Tax Deductions and Credits: Deductions and credits can significantly impact your tax refund. Be aware of available deductions, such as mortgage interest, student loan interest, medical expenses, and charitable contributions. Additionally, tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Child Tax Credit, and education credits can directly reduce the amount of tax you owe, leading to a higher refund. Contribute to Retirement Accounts: Contributing to retirement accounts like IRAs or 401(k)s not only secures your financial future but can also lower your taxable income. Contributions made to certain retirement plans are tax-deductible, potentially reducing your taxable income for the year and increasing your tax refund. Consider Itemizing Deductions: For many Tax Payers, itemizing deductions might result in a higher refund compared to taking the standard deduction. Keep detailed records of expenses such as state and local taxes, mortgage interest, charitable donations, and unreimbursed medical expenses to determine if itemizing deductions would be more beneficial for you.

Review and Amend Prior Returns if Necessary: Sometimes, errors or missed deductions in previous tax returns can be rectified by filing an amended return. If you discover that you’ve overlooked eligible deductions or made mistakes in past filings, it’s worth amending those returns to potentially receive additional refunds.

Consult a Tax Professional: Seeking guidance from a Tax Professional or Accountant can be invaluable. These experts stay updated on tax laws and can provide personalized advice tailored to your financial situation. They can help you identify opportunities for deductions and credits that you might have overlooked, ultimately maximizing your refund.

File Early and Electronically: Filing your tax return early not only helps you receive your refund sooner but also mitigates the risk of identity theft. Additionally, filing electronically can speed up the process and reduce errors, ensuring that you receive your maximum refund promptly. Remember, maximizing your tax refund involves proactive planning, staying informed about tax laws, and leveraging available deductions and credits. By implementing these strategies and staying organized, you can optimize your tax situation and keep more of your hard-earned money in your pocket.

Imperfect Action is Better than Perfect Inaction.

By Eric Runge, Advanced Planning Lead

Introduction: In the tax world, there is a tendency to strive for perfection. Tax professionals in a backward-looking compliance role generally seek to meticulously analyze data, scrutinize every detail, and deliver flawlessly accurate results to their clients. This level of precision and accuracy is what clients need and is vital to the fundamental role a CPA plays. However, it's also essential to recognize that the flipside of this coin of perfection is analysis paralysis. As such, it is vital for the forward-minded CPA to recognize the value of imperfect execution as they work on (not in) their business, even when that action is not perfect. In this blog post, we explore the concept of imperfect action and why it is often better than perfect inaction for CPAs wanting to execute on moving toward a more forward-looking 21st century business model. This does not apply to compliance work, which needs to be perfect. This applies to running your business well, which is a separate discipline altogether from doing a tax return.

Embracing Growth and Learning: One of the key reasons imperfect action is preferable is the inherent opportunity for growth and learning. Growth will always feel messy, but CPAs will do well to remember the need to continually evolve in a profession that is dynamic and ever-changing. By executing even if it's not perfect, one will open doors to new experiences, challenges, and insights. Leaping before we see a net allows us to make mistakes and learn from them, adapt to changing circumstances, and refine skills over time. It also pushes us emotionally and mentally to increase our courage, confidence, and maturity as people.

Overcoming Analysis Paralysis: The drive toward perfection can often lead to analysis paralysis, where we spend excessive time analyzing and overthinking, ultimately failing to take any decisive action. It is hard for the person doing it to see they're doing it, and that, incidently, is why CPAs do well to partner with offsetting personalities like financial advisors. However, the tax professional must recognize in principle on their own that analysis paralysis is harmful to them and their clients, and by embracing the idea that imperfect action is perfectly ok, will break free from this cycle of over-analyzing and hesitating. This obviously does not apply to areas of your speciality like tax returns, but rather business development, and executing before it feels perfect empowers tax professionals to make decisions, move forward, and address challenges head-on. Obviously it's not good to fall into the ditch on the other side of the road and fail to think things through at all, but that generally doesn't tend to be the problem CPAs struggle with. It's more the exact opposite. Taking action, even if it's not flawless, helps you gain momentum and make progress in your work.

Seizing Opportunities and Innovation: Imperfect action enables one to seize opportunities and embrace the right kind of innovation. In the fast-paced world accountants operate in, being agile and adaptable is becoming more and more crucial, even as safety and compliance with regulations remain staunchly important. At the 50,000' level of moving one's business forward (working on, not in your business), waiting for the perfect solution or circumstance may cause a tax professional to miss out on valuable opportunities. Think of the hesitation many CPAs feel with outsourcing their clients, and the resultant inaction that occurs. However, by taking action and executing on outsourcing you can really make substantial positive changes to your business that will move your forward into a more comfortable and profitable model. This is because the "imperfect action" approach fosters a mindset of continuous improvement, making you more valuable. This can help to set the stage to position tax professionals at the forefront of industry advancements and move them toward elite status.

Client-Centric Approach: Imperfect action aligns with a client-centric approach. As a tax professional clients rely on you to provide proactive guidance, insights, and solutions to their financial challenges. By taking proactive action and approaching the client with new ideas, even when it may not feel flawless, you can demonstrate your commitment in a tangible way to clients' needs and goals. Imperfect action-which won't feel imperfect forever-allows you to engage with clients, seek their feedback, and refine your strategies based on their specific needs and requirements. It shows clients that you are actively working towards their best interests and are willing to adapt to their evolving needs. At the end of the day "imperfection" is really only a feeling, indicating discomfort with change. That feeling goes away the more you do the new thing, and soon it becomes second nature. By embracing in principle what I am saying here, you can have a mental category to fallback on when the going gets tough, and it will for a while until you get used to the change.

Conclusion: As a CPAs, it's natural to strive for perfection in your work. However,it is important to recognize the principle that imperfect action is superior to perfect inaction. Embracing imperfection, however uncomfortable at first, allows one to grow, overcome analysis paralysis, seize opportunities, and adopt a more and more client-centric approach. It empowers you to learn from your experiences, adapt to changing circumstances, and continuously innovate in your ever-evolving profession. Remember, imperfect action is a stepping stone towards progress and success, and it will feel more comfortable as you go. So, let go of the fear of imperfection and embrace the power of taking action! If you'd like to see how we've implemented this for hundreds of successful CPA practices, schedule with me below.
