How does work make you feel today?

If they're such experts then TurboTax would be perfect for them. I don't work with DIY types, they're the ones who make me angry.

Yeah, we get a fair number of the "I'm sure I could do it myself" types....its a bit annoying, but I can deal with it. But these people that come in spouting off about this and that without having a clue about it drive me nuts. "That's not taxable. It's the law". Uh....what? Yeah, it is.

Hey! You didn't have the ability to put two characters together in MarioKart64. That was Double Dash for the GameCube. What else are you lying about?!?

I don't think I've been caught rolling my eyes, although this is the second time I've gotten testy with a client this week. The other one had me ready to explode -- the fundamental lack of understanding of taxes (while thinking they know EVERYTHING) is just absurd.

But the one that really gets me is the anti-Obama/Obamacare rant while they are there to claim their $8,000 "refund" due to the EITC and Child Tax Credit -- all while having a family of five all covered by Medicaid.
Perhaps a clientele upgrade is in order?

I'm just sayin...

Question for you CPAs since you've hijacked the thread, what are tax implications of individual investing in REITs? Wanted to know what kind of paperwork is involved come tax season. Is it a simple 1099-DIV or will I find myself in Schedule K hell like with LPs?
