Year started with me watching TV and kissing my cats at midnight. The next day I returned to work at the tax place and had my Beta male Achilles Jr die while changing his tank water. Got the weekend off so enjoying it before working 2 weeks nonstop.
My Christmas was good watching the new Star Wars movie in the theater and spending time with family. Days later had the extended family Christmas and got to adore my great-nieces.
Worked for the tax place bouncing from site to site in preparation of Refund Advances. People seem to think we just give away money to whoever walks in the door. Not exactly. It is not like a bank loan where they check your income to see if you can pay back the loan. It is a cash advance on your potential refund so they guess your refund based on your pay stubs and determine if approved or not from that. I had people who were denied advances come into another location trying to reapply. Sorry, we use the same bank and if they say no advance then they don't get one. I also got plenty of people just wanting the money, without any intention of filing their taxes through us. Well, granted I can't force someone to file their taxes with us, but next year the bank will most likely deny them any advance since they didn't come back the year before. After the new year, plenty of people come in wanting tax refunds, right now. Well, sorry but the IRS and my state tax office haven't announced when they will be accepting tax returns and when they do, it will be about 21 days after that before the client would get their refund. If they need money so bad, they can get a personal loan off the internet, I did with a bank from NYC.
Immigrants often confuse the tax office with immigration office. Sorry, I can't help you with green cards, or apply for citizenship, or apply for ITINS. That is another government office, I just file income taxes and offer refund advances.
