Deadlines? Hate ‘em. But we’re at one of the first tax deadlines of 2022 – the deadline for W-2's and some 1099’s is today. I do my best to stay away from deadlines but sometimes life happens, right? So if we end up in ‘scramble’ mode trying to beat deadlines just know I’m here to help keep the pain to a minimum. Speaking of pain, I saw a headline in an accounting publication last week – “Accountants Brace for Miserable Tax Season” or words to that effect. It promises to be a bumpy ride for tax preparers and clients/friends alike this season. So yes, while it’s always my goal to stay away from deadline stress, the means of getting there is to be like the old analogy of a duck - on the surface, swimming calmly and serenely while under the surface, the legs are paddling like crazy. Part of my Monday morning is telling myself now to keep paddling like crazy so we reduce the chances of that pit in the stomach panic feeling that comes with facing imminent deadlines. Glad to do what I can to minimize that stress for all of us. Have a blessed day!
