yay taxes!
Jan. 23rd, 2016 08:25 pmToday I filed my first two tax returns as a paid tax preparer. They have been accepted by the IRS. And the sky did not fall!
(I've been 'working' for three weeks, but most people don't get their W-2s until late January and there was a computer glitch relating to my NY state paid preparer ID number, so until today I was just doing practice case studies, sitting in to observe other people doing returns, and answering the phone/scheduling appointments for other people.)
It's funny how you can know perfectly well that you can do a thing but still be all twitchy-paranoid until you actually sit down and do it once for real, you know?
I'm still not sure if tax preparation is something I want to do on a continuing basis, but I feel much more confident about getting through the next three months. :D
