Yup……

And also if your a business owner, get in touch with me about bookkeeping and payroll. If you’re tired of dealing with it I think you’d be surprised at how cost effective it can be.

It's fire watch time. The Cenla Broadcasting camera on Texas Avenue sees the controlled burn near Melder quite well. I sent out a smoke alert on the app this morning that was targeted to those areas that were most likely to see smoke. You have to be in the area I geofence, or have to have your location set there to receive the alert since I don't want to send things to everyone.

I'm not exactly sure of the source of fire south of the Interstate 49, Highway 112 intersection. It wasn't a planned controlled burn, and that's all I know. It could most certainly (and hopefully) be an ag burn. I just wanted to give a heads up on why you are seeing smoke. I used debris tracker because it's really good at picking out smoke.

Late night post: I run into this all the time doing tax research. You never know everything. I have mad respect for the CPAs I started out working under because they were walking encyclopedias with 30-40 years worth of experience under their belt. Even they would humbly tell you that they didn’t know everything and there’s always something to learn.

Be careful when choosing a tax preparer, because when it comes down to it, the IRS doesn’t really care what your tax preparer did, you’re the one left holding the bag, not them. I mean the IRS might care, but in reality it won’t change your situation. YOU the taxpayer are responsible for your tax return and its accuracy. And guess what…using “my tax preparer said…” carries almost negative weight.

So why would you use someone that is unqualified and doesn’t care if you end up in hot water, because that’s what will happen. Then there’s the aweful Facebook reels, TikToks, and YouTube shorts that are full of bad advice. Why? Because it’s people on the internet telling you what you WANT to hear to get clicks.

“Checkout this crime loophole where you can actually steal $100,000 worth of cars with no penalty.” Why would you give that person any credibility. They don’t actually understand tax law or the fact that tax law doesn’t end with just the statute and in many cases goes deeper into treasury regulation and tax court precedents.

Stay off the FaceTok Shorts for tax advice. Pick up the phone and call a professional, PREFERABLY me, but anyone with CPAJDEA is a good direction to go.

I’m here and ramping things up. I had to take a quick pause because guess what? Our family grew by +1 Wednesday. So needless to say I will be finding that new normal. I may or may not be at the office, but im always just a phone call away and my couch is big enough to handle tax work.

Get in touch with me. Pay by refund if you want and I’m very upfront about fees before we start. Nothing to hide, no surprise upcharges. I make it easy.

It’s 2026, so if your super busy or too far away, we can handle everything remotely.

It’s here! Pay by refund!

I’m excited to offer this to make tax prep offered by CPAs more accessible.

If you’ve ever thought hiring a licensed professional was out of reach because:
A) our fees might be high, or
B ) you need the refund to afford tax preparation in the first place, , then problem solved.

If this removes a barrier for you, then give my office a call, book an appointment on my website, or fill out the info form on my website. I promise you’ll be better off.

I’m passionate about helping folks with their taxes and my name is above the door so I actually give a damn.

If your concern is A: see my earlier rant ffrom a couple days ago. I’ll tell you to the price up front. No nickleing and dimeing. No hidden fees.

If your concern is B: now you have access to the same level of professional service as anyone else. The rate is the same regardless.

Call me. You won’t regret it.

You may be surprised this year and not have to make this face. Especially if you racked up a lot of overtime in 2025.

Make sure you dig up your last paystub of 2025 to take advantage of this deduction. For 2025, employers are not required to report this information. So in most cases it will have to be manually calculated.

Hope everyone is staying warm!
