Dear Tax Clients,

I enjoy helping you by doing your taxes. I like to play with numbers, and taxes are a good challenge for me. Overall, you are wonderful clients and our experience with one another is enjoyable. After all, who doesn’t love telling others that they will be getting money back?

But I don’t enjoy all of our meetings. I really don’t like having to tell you that you owe the United States government money. Some of you have complicated tax issues and hadn’t realized that you owed more taxes than what was taking out of your paychecks. I feel sorry for you. Others of you intentionally didn’t have as much taken out of your paycheck since you wanted that money then, even though the federal government had a claim on it. I don’t feel bad about this, but you are much more likely to view me as the enemy.

For those of you that owed money on your taxes this year, please get that taken care of for next year. That’ll allow our next meeting to be much more pleasant. Thank you.

Until next year,

Ronnica
