New from Quickfinder-QuickPackage QF-X

IRS Announces End of Package X!

The IRS will no longer release Package X, the handy print collection of crucial tax forms and instructions you rely on for tax preparation-but don't despair! Quickfinder Editors have gathered everything you need into two collections: QuickPackage QF-X for Individuals and QuickPackage QF-X for Businesses.

• Over 300 pages of IRS forms and instructions.
• Spiral binding that lies flat and allows you to easily copy the forms you need.
• Forms that are organized and easily found under logical tabs.

"We do things differently here. We're not your average CPA firm, right, we're not your average bear," Sandy Abalos, Managing Partner of Abalos & Associates tells AccountingWEB. "The biggest thing we do is scheduling, scheduling during tax season because tax season can be a bloody nightmare. It can be the most stressful, difficult thing you'll ever endure but it doesn't have to be. And I worked for CPAs when I was in high school, everything was at the last minute and it was frantic and panicked and client expectations weren't managed and I remember driving to the Post Office in my little Rambler at midnight on April 15th, hoping my car didn't fail me, dropping of a hundred extensions to get postmarked, panicked, just trembling and thinking I will never do this when I have my own business. I will NEVER do this. This is not a good thing. So we close early on April 15th, every year for 30 years that I've had my business. We close early on April 15th and it's all in managing the client and the workload.

"Family comes first. We work to live. We don't live to work, so families come first. And if you've got kids laying in soccer games, you better be at those games. I've even scolded staff during tax season for not attending their kids' soccer games. I said the work will wait, your kids soccer game is only once, there will be another tax season, go to the game, get out of here," Abalos says.
