It's that time of the year again!

Ha! Beat you to it this year. So many of you called last year and told me that. Well we are ready for another thrill ride through tax season. Already getting plenty of questions, especially about the first time home buyer's credit. Two things a little different this year on that one. Number 1 is if you want the credit you better be ready to prove that you qualify for it. The IRS wnats a copy of your closing statement. Which brings us to number 2, because of the closing statement requirement you have to file a paper return... no electronic filing. That means it will take an additional 4-6 weeks to process your return. You can blame the scammers from last year on the new rules. More tax items to follow.

This is the first post for Robideau, CPA, a major milestone in and of itself. You don't think of CPA firms doing much marketing/blogging usually. Local firms might have something in the yellow pages (soon to be called dinosaur marketing) but most of the time new clients are a product of word of mouth advertising. This firm however is looking forward to interfacing with you, our audience using this medium and hope you find it informative, helpful and maybe at times entertaining.
