Game time is imminent, so I must depart.

Before leaving, though, I wanted to make a note that I put Mushihime Futari back in this morning and I have no idea how it happened but I enjoyed playing the game more than I ever remember having done so before. I played Black Label Original and hit the 100 mil extend for the first time and easily surpassed my previous lowly high scores. I know I didn't play the game all that much but it's odd to me how it just suddenly seemed to make more ...

I was just at the cusp of having a second submission ready to go last night but curfew hit. I finished it up just now and actually had more errors than normal, but only because the majority of them involved one Form which had a column of data repeated eight times, which means that one error became eight. Easy enough to fix all the same.

The friends are committed to FF14, with one of them saying he's in for at least six months. So long. Hope you decide to peek your heads out every ...

It arrived in the mail today. Lego Marvel Super Heroes is the first PS4 disc game we own, and it's ... another Lego game. How in the hell does this series get enough sales to stay alive?

I took the opportunity to play a touch of PS3 D3 last night since I had the opportunity to do it with not having work today. Yeah, I think it's safe to say that I really don't need to touch it again.

Time to get back to Form 1120 test submission creation and testing.

The loss of a customer last year has caused me to lose one this year. The punchline was delivered today, but the joke was tacitly stated months ago. The words "When did you plan on telling me this?" came out of my mouth and probably did surprise her, and honestly is not the kind of tone which I usually take (despite my attempt at putting it in a more jovial than confrontational manner), but I guess I didn't have the faculties at that point in the morning to have my language be more guarded. ...

It's been a rather stupid twenty four hours. At least my appointment went OK, though that wasn't without its own bit of fun. Why didn't she tell me she didn't have a printer before I arrived? Come on now.

Songs. They were rather good today. That's something to be thankful for.

Appointments are set for two clients. I will be going to my aunt's house tomorrow and meet with the other client sometime at Thursday of next week. As of this moment I will now file the latter's Federal returns and see about getting the paperwork ready for the States.

I made another successful 1120S test submission earlier this morning. It was rather gratifying to have an initial error count of 2.

Songs were basically very good today. I had another strange error greet ...

Tomorrow I need to get some checks deposited and then see about making appointments to get the other returns filed.

I was thinking about it, and I think the Internet has essentially nullified April Fool's Day. Everything is passed around so quickly that nobody has any way to receive a joke without believing it for any length of time before going elsewhere to find out its fake. Not only that, but considering how rumors are taken as factual news throughout the rest of the year, it means ...

There is a PS4 in the house now. My wife and I have been talking about getting one lately but not with making any certain plans about making the purchase in the near future. She decided that today was as good of a day as any to make the acquisition. All right then. My D3 pal has been playing Warframe a lot lately and I'll get to judge the game first hand after posting this. He's one of the very few people who have anything positive to say about it. Let's see what happens. Oh, the PS4? Yeah it's ...

A few days ago at work I came to discover that it's possible to use the stationary terminals to access the same environment which we use on our handheld scanners in the normal process of work. I should have remembered that these last two Sundays when I was hit with the last minute crunch and needed to do some raw numeric data entry. Doing that would have been much faster on an actual normal keyboard.

My niece had her baptism today. Despite being at my sister's place by 5PM, we were ...

I gave the preliminary return estimate to the client and did successfully correct the errors on the Test 7 Form 1120 scenario to have that be received without error. That put me at 11PM. OK, let's go to bed. The last time that I noticed reading on the clock in the bedroom was 1240AM, and sometime soon after that I was greeted by a cat who demanded for me to lay upright on my back so that he could sit on my chest. This lasted a while until he got bored with it and finally migrated to my side. 4AM ...

It appears that there a few additions to my Google+ page which never got responded to in the interim that has passed since I last personally logged onto the specific email for that account. I really do need to do everything by myself. Upon looking at it, though, I think it might be a good venue from which I can more easily cherry pick interesting items pertaining to the tax field, and that might be the mentality that I need to embrace if I am to get anywhere.

Songs. Turns out I didn't ...

I received an answer which I never would have expected and I did take the time to argue about after receiving it. Page 13 of 2013 Publication 525 clearly states what to do when there is a sale of stock acquired through ESPP, and gives two examples in the cases where the holding requirement is met or it is not met. How many people engage in this kind of transaction every year, would you think? Hundreds would seem low, wouldn't it? I would think that at least a few thousand people across the nation ...

Three hours on the phone with various entities yields the result that I have a case to which the IRS should respond to me tomorrow. I don't understand what it is about this kind of income to report that I'm the only person who is experiencing a problem. What am I missing? I understand what needs to be reported, where it needs to be reported on paper, what Forms and schedules are allowed to be filed in the electronic format, and despite all of that I can't reconcile the proper way to do this. Others ...

When a person acquires corporate stock through an Employee Purchase Plan at a discounted price, there are rules for the quantity and method for how that discount is reported on the tax return in the year that the stock is sold. In one instance, you are supposed to receive two forms: a W2 with the amount to report as ordinary wage income (as opposed to modifying capital property basis), and a Form 3922 for informational purposes. I have a client who had some papers about a stock sale, but not even ...

Up late and busy day, up against the clock now too. Will say more tomorrow.

Songs were very good. Almost passed Speedy Cat.
