My husband is an accountant. I can't tell you how many times where I've had to say to him "BRENDAN! JUST TELL ME IN NORMAL PEOPLE LANGUAGE WHAT THE HECK YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!" Whenever we are talking about finances/or if he is talking to me about his work. lol He will go on a tangent about something finance related, talk in "financizee" and I get lost. When he finally breaks down what he was originally trying to tell me, it always ends up with me saying "Wait...THATS ALL YOU WERE TRYING TO SAY!? IT WAS SO SIMPLE ALL ALONG??" Bless his heart...lol

When I lived in Chile, I was tax exempt, and that was a treat. If you think, though, that US tax rates are high... you haven't lived in any other countries, I'm willing to bet! Still, though, I don't know WHY these tax forms are so complicated. What does a W2 even mean? A 1040? Where did these numbers come from? Then again, it's not really different with electronics... you go buy ink for your printer, and you need to know if you have the model 36B7J3-5 or the 36B7J3-8 because if you don't know, you have a 50-50 chance of buying incompatible cartridges.

[@TheWalkingJewels]

I used to work in an accountants office, even if the return has to be mailed in we mailed it in to the place it needed to go. We would have the client come in to sign whatever needed to be signed then we mailed it into the IRS or the state office to ensure that it was sent out in a timely manner. That way client can’t blame us if mailed in late because clients will forget. Should be part of this man’s job to mail the return in, just have client sign paperwork then mail in the return to ensure it is sent in.

[@robertbrehm3986]

I prepared taxes in a couple of different tax firms, and we always had the client come in, review, sign the return, give the client a copy, and we always mailed or electronically submitted the tax return.

[@vaidahk]

I'm a tax professional and we do the same except for certain circumstances where it's a client from out of state and I can't have them come sign the return. Seriously send everything certified mail, return receipt.

[@dthomason119]

When not understanding what a person is saying, especially someone with intellect, it breaks down to not listening properly. I was able to follow what he was saying, but the Judge decided to continue to interrupt, that causes a person to lose their train of thought and now that information they were trying to relay comes out differently based on the person interrupting them. If we listen more, talk less, you’ll understand what someone is saying or what they are not saying.

The pin that the IRS issues changes every year. It only is sent to the individual whom is issued the pin. The tax preparer would not have access to that.

I’m surprised it is over the head of most people . For E-File you have to state how much the AGI (adjusted gross income) was on the tax return from the previous year , or they will reject the submission. If you don’t have that info , you’ll have to mail the return. Anyways , looks like people don’t want to deal with that accounting. Perhaps it’s just aggravating.

Well take the hint and be better at explaining what you know that others typically do not. The plaintiff was not crystal clear to the layperson.

[@vorpal22]

I really don't see how people didn't understand what the tax accountant was saying. It wasn't that difficult to understand! Sure, he was giving more detail than he needed, but it's his job to understand these things and he just wanted to explain what had happened. I do understand, though, about how doctors and lawyers use jargon that most people don't understand. (Pharmacology is one of my passions, so I do usually understand what docs are saying about meds.) I recently bought a condo and holy mother of all... I had no idea what the heck I was doing half the time and it was so incredibly complicated and confusing. Thankfully, I was buying it from a friend and coworker and I had been renting it from her for a year beforehand, so that simplified the process because we skipped out on real estate agents, but the paperwork and the messages from the lawyers were like wading through a swamp.
