This year’s tax season?
A tragicomedy in three acts.
Act I: The Optimist.
I came in strong—organized, ahead of schedule, ready to tackle taxes like the responsible adult I pretend to be. I submitted everything early, crossed my T’s, dotted my LLC’s.
And then… crickets.
For weeks.
Act II: The Ghosting.
After multiple follow-ups (emails, voicemails, smoke signals), I finally got a call back—well, sort of. The agent left a cheerful voicemail saying, “Glad we connected last week!”
Spoiler: We never did.
That message was less of a follow-up and more of a cover-up.
Act III: The Plot Twist.
Fed up, I walked into the office like a tax-season vigilante. Sat down face-to-face with Bruce (yes, that’s his real name, no I’m not changing it).
Explained my situation clearly.
And instead of helping, he stared blankly, then said he couldn’t complete my return due to “issues” with my LLC.
The same LLC issue I specifically came in to resolve. 🙄
So, after 6+ weeks of ghosting, gaslighting, and general incompetence, Bruce gave up before even trying.
And just like that… I was back at square one. With less time and more resentment.
Here’s the kicker: If your services and expertise cap out at W-2s and TurboTax basics, maybe lead with that—instead of stringing people along and wasting their time. 🧐
Anyway, if you happen to know a tax pro who understands LLCs, side hustles, and how to hit “reply” on an email without needing a séance—please send them my way by dropping their contact information below in the comments.👇 🙏🏽 🙃
Because filing taxes shouldn’t feel like chasing an ex who still owes you closure.
(And maybe a refund.) 😋
