Another Tax Season Bites the Dust
I am waiting for my oldest son’s age to finally surpass the number of tax seasons I have completed. He is 27 (and working at a CPA firm in Costa Mesa, CA) and his little brother, age 25 works at Price Waterhouse Coopers in downtown LA (there is a chance he gets to spend 3 months in Calcutta, India since he is in International Tax). It will require me to retire for about 7 years for his age to catch up to my tax seasons.
This year was actually much easier on myself and I think most of my compatriots since we did not have Congress passing a tax bill on the last day of the year to mess up the IRS computers (although the computers have other issues to deal with). Next year may go back to being a bit of a mess since I think we will get a new tax law at the end of the year and this will delay 2014 filings, but that is at least 9 months in the future.
Since the 2013 tax season is now done, it is time to look forward to getting additional farm tax and accounting education.
