Oh, and the “tell us how we can improve functionality efforts” they completely ignore for more than a decade. Specific features THOUSANDS of accountants have asked for in their own forums & still the do joking.

But, hey, we get QB Cash, termination of QBOA, AI that doesn’t function, blah, blah. 🙄

I feel the same—angry but trapped. A client asked me about going back to Desktop and I had to tell them Intuit is killing that product so it isn’t an option.

I wouldn’t mind paying for a product that functions well. It’s the marketing to steal clients, sales pitches for unnecessary features, etc.

How many clients of yours are moving out of the US this year? My count so far is two confirmed, two potential.

And I DON’T have a very large client list.

I almost spit out my coffee one morning when I read their statement about pushing everyone to the new AI bank feeds & how a survey of customers stated how “accurate” their product has become.

Utter BS. Their product is trash and their fee increases are outrageous.

$8/client for Books Review? 🖕🏻

No need for that! 🤣 Mad respect, regardless of the campus you attended.

I didn’t attend the U but spent many a Saturday in the Big House. Many years ago and many miles away now.

You are ignorant of the law—ignorant about how Federal and state law interact or are superseded.

A state saying, “Nana, nana, boo boo, we’re keeping the money” doesn’t override the TRFP.

If the Feds aren’t paid on time, they will go after the employees, bookkeepers, owners, payroll companies.

doesn’t eliminate the Federal penalties that will be assessed on those individuals for not ensuring the taxes are actually paid to the Federal government.

Those penalties are severe & the Feds aren’t going to just ignore their legal right to collect the money/penalize the bookkeepers, owners, etc.

You aren’t engaging with the fatal flaw in your “brilliant” plan that Mark has repeatedly mentioned.

The responsibility for remitting the taxes withheld from employee wages rests with the bookkeeper, company owner, payroll company, etc.

A state law that allows the state to impound the money

lol…yep. You got me. A handful of people in a couple states are working on legislation that is BLATANTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL, can’t pass through committee, two chambers, get signed into law & be implemented without being immediately injuncted but they’re “working on it” so that proves you’re right. 🙄

FFS…did you even read that article?

Never got out of committee, blatantly unconstitutional, blah, blah, blah. This isn’t proof that your idea or theirs at the time would have/could work.

Their argument seems to be if enough states try it, the Fed can’t stop them all.

Stupid, childish argument.

I would NEVER accuse a CPA with your credentials (even not knowing you personally) of offering superficial analysis or being ignorant of the law.

Nev-ah!! 🤣

Fantasizing about legislation being passed in a blue state to hijack funds from payroll companies that is held in trust on behalf of business owners and their employees and claiming anyone that disagrees just doesn’t understand what’s possible is hysterical.

People like you are exhausting.

Yeah, “someone” can come up with a creative solution all damn day but it takes YEARS to get much simpler legislation drafted, signed into law & implemented—legislation that doesn’t seek to override existing Fed law.

You have no knowledge of the law & are arguing with an educated pro in the field.

This is superficial analysis and completely ignorant of the law, basic procedures, etc.

Have you ever run a business? Worked for a state or Federal agency? Are you a lawyer or have you studied the law or taxation?

Thinking something is logical (to you) doesn’t make it legal or possible.

I used to work for the old man, Matty Moroun, decades ago. He would walk through the office on Christmas Eve, shake every employee’s hand and leave.

Immediately thereafter, HR reps with banker boxes would come through and fire people and walk them out.

On Christmas Eve.

May he burn in hell.

@taxsky Okay, I know all of you didn’t go back to Twitter/X but no one seems to be here anymore or posting often.

Where can I find the old community engagement?

Had a client give me their 2024 1095-A and a 2024 1099–INT mixed with all their other 2025 docs.

Argh…

Such freaking BS. The contractor was identified, prosecuted, convicted and is serving a 5yr sentence. His employer (Booz Allen Hamilton) lost their federal contract.

We don’t need a BS conspiracy led investigation because Trump alleges others knew & waste millions before he inevitably dismisses?

The block button is readily available. You don’t need to tone police if you don’t like what someone says.

It is (for the time being) still a free country and I think the times demand some passion or “attitude”.

Oh, yes he CAN. It’s called shame & pressure. He doesn’t have the support of many Senators. He massively failed the country during the shutdown.

If other Dems really wanted a change, they’d work behind the scenes to get him to retire the same damn way they forced Biden out.

16.01.2026 01:54 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

I’d prefer that he was pushed out long before that. He is an ineffective Ieader who cannot communicate effectively.

He has the same tired demeanor and talking points of the “consultants” that keep the Democrats from achieving transformational change when they’re in power.

So if this POS knows that people in fear get into “fight or flight” instinct, the police/ICE certainly are trained to understand that which is why they shouldn’t escalate or place themselves in front of a vehicle and then shout contradictory commands and point a gun at an unarmed person.

Interesting that this POS cares about Ella but not the other student killed at Brown.

Let’s see…what could be the reason?

Just spitballing here but might it be because Ella was a white woman and the other victim was named Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov.

Not to mention the BS “they” accusations.

Ask yourself why a man of that age, experience, career status, wealth & power would be interested in a woman 30+ yrs younger without any of those things.

They weren’t bonding over shared experiences. He wanted someone who’d be grateful for his gifts & “help” so he could get what HE wanted.
