Tax season has been put on hold for today.

I'm having some friends over for the Super Bowl. It should be a stress-free game because, although I'd prefer the Seahawks win, my panties won't be in a twist if they don't.

Last year, it was a stressful game and ended badly. Well....badly for us; it ended well for the Eagles.

I've made quite a bit of food and since it's such a beautiful day, I took a 55-in TV out on my deck.

I'm trying to learn how to make charcuterie. I forgot to leave room for crackers.

I'll get better at this.

Enjoy your day. I'll be back at my desk tomorrow.

I have decided where I'm going to meet with clients on Thursday mornings in Overland Park. I need to do reconnaissance this week to make sure that it will work and that there are tables available that are relatively private.

Once I've determined that it will fit my needs, I will start booking appointments for February and March.

I'm excited. I think this is going to work really well. I will give you specifics once I have it nailed down.

Since moving my office to Lee's Summit in 2020, I come to Overland Park on Thursdays to meet with clients so they don't have to drive to Lee's Summit.

This was initially to help them transition but I enjoy getting out of the office half a day each week. Plus, I can see a lot of clients in a 4-hour period when moving them through every 15 minutes.

I had to come to Overland Park on an errand so I decided to verify the IHOP I have utilized for the last 5 years was open. I heard a rumor from a client that it was not.

And she was right, it is no longer open. I'm on the hunt for a place centrally located that won't mind if I sit and meet with tax clients for 4 hours every Thursday. I drink a lot of coffee, and I always leave a huge tip.

Don't suggest the library. They don't allow businesses to use their private roomsm. Since I subscribe to the "quiet in the library" theory, I also won't conduct tax business at one of their tables.

If you have any ideas, let me know. Although not ideal, it may have to be a fast food restaurant. Denny's is usually way too slammed with business.

See.ya.soon.

Back in San Diego. I disembark at 8:15 and head to the airport. That's the Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam pulling in alongside us.

In 2019, I was on that ship but it never left the dock. It had a broken azipod thruster. They refunded my money and gave me (and everyone) a free cruise.

I'll be happy to get home. I think the playoffs start tomorrow?

Sunrise off the coast of Baja California Sur. This was as good as it got. It was very chilly and windy this morning and I was not inclined to stand on the balcony to see if sunrise would put out for me.

Instead...I took this picture and called it good.

One more sleep on this ship then I'm flying back to Kansas City...where my heart is and always has been. See you soon.

I saw a post that says you should not file early lest a 1099k arrive in February.

My reaction? If you are doing your bookkeeping, the 1099k won't matter because you will already know your income, and you can report it correctly on your tax return.

There are some self-employed people who depend on those who contract their services to do their bookkeeping for them.

How so?

They wait to get those 1099NEC forms from companies where they performed services and that's how they determine their income.

The problem with this, not everybody who you work for will send you a 1099NEC. If you determine your income based on 1099NEC, you may be under-reporting your income.

What if I, as a self-employed tax pro, determined my income based on 1099NEC forms? I wouldn't have to report anything because nobody sends me a 1099NEC.

I do my bookkeeping; I keep track of my income and expenses. I will receive 1099K forms from Square and PayPal but that is not how I determine my income. Much of my income doesn't even come via those two platforms, does that mean I don't have to report it?

All income is taxable, unless otherwise exempt. Receiving a 1099NEC form is not the threshold for reporting income.

It's not how you should determine your income. Do your bookkeeping. Make yourself audit safe if not audit proof.
