irs tops list of busy season problems

forget covid. the underfunded, understaffed, underequipped, underappreciated, misunderstood irs is the top problem.

by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间

it probably won’t surprise you that the 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 busy season barometer identifies irs operations as the biggest problem tax practitioners face today. in fact, we’ve never seen such widespread agreement among respondents—an astonishing 80 percent of them.

that consensus indicates that there really is a problem at the irs. it’s underfunded, understaffed, underequipped, and, at this point, underappreciated and misunderstood.

the real problem is that the problem is creating problems. irs staff can’t keep up with correspondence, yet the computers, even though working off an operating system that dates back to the kennedy administration, keep churning out moot notices and undeserved penalties.

five weeks into tax filing season, refunds are well past the $100 billion mark and processing is clipping along merrily. year-to-year comparisons remain challenging because of the difference in season dates: feb. 12 to may 17, 2021, vs. jan. 24 to april 18, 2022.

cpa roi doa: why the next-gen accountant won’t be a cpa

extinction ahead: the next generation of would-be cpa could be one of the last.

**it doesn’t add up:** college students doing the math say the cpa exam is too tough (54%) and too time-consuming (54%). (icpas)

by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间

is the cpa profession doomed to die out?

it’s too soon to say, but the signs aren’t good. the need for public accountants is bound to continue, but will there be accountants to fill that need? it’s already hard to find qualified, certified professionals, and a peek in the pipeline shows no improvement.

eight quick, easy ways to fix irs filing

well, “quick” and “easy” on paper. in real life at the irs, it’s different.

by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间

there’s always room for improvement—even (or, especially?) at the internal revenue service.

for one thing—or really eight things—the process of filing returns could stand a little fine-tuning.

the only problem is, changing some parts of the process require changing the tax code, and that requires congressional legislation, and that requires…well, no one really knows.

for a few: why busy season 2022 beats 2021

one in four tax practitioners say they’ve learned from last year.

the 2022 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 busy season barometer isn’t turning up much optimism, but a good quarter of respondents are telling us that this year just might be better than 2021.

judging from their comments, however, “better” seems to mean “not as bad.”

out of the 577 practitioners who’ve responded so far, only five percent said that this year is “much better” than last year, though another 21 percent granted that so far it’s “somewhat better.”

but that’s compared with 47 percent who say it’s somewhat or much worse.

from her perch, see tracks how governments at all levels and across the globe are capitalizing on the rapidly digitizing business world to automatically collect taxes due. in the u.s., states and localities are gearing up to crack down on the new sources of revenues, leaving many businesses and their accountants still ill-equipped to handle the new rules, armbruester tells rick telberg for 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间.
