I was asked if I was a "conservative" or "aggressive" tax pro.

My best answer was that I follow the rules and avoid trouble.

We take positions that protect you in the event of an audit and won't make you lose a court case.

I went with "realistic." #TaxBS

A lot of my Trump-supporting wealthy clients are now being forced to sell 5 or 6 figures worth of stocks in the next week to raise cash to cover extension payments.

The tariff timing is spectacularly poor.

Interesting. I have a MAGA client coming up for extension. I will prepare mentally.

Yes and us accountants need our professional organizations to provide us with guidance, support and a voice in government policy.

January and February are for asking questions.
