It’s Friday afternoon, and we’re wrapping up another busy week of tackling IRS and State Tax issues for our clients.
I’m looking forward to unwinding with either a spooky spider cider margarita or a couple of glasses of witches’ brew wine before heading out to our First Friday Night Frights at Yucaipa Football.
But before I do, I wanted to share some thoughts with you.
It’s that time of year again when the leaves turn orange, pumpkin spice is in the air, and the things that go bump in the night start to feel a little too real.
And no, I’m not talking about the ghosts and goblins of Halloween – I’m talking about the IRS and the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB), or as I like to call them, the “Cali Claw.”
Just yesterday, I heard two of my favorite Halloween songs that got me thinking about the parallels between the spookiness of the season and the terror that comes with dealing with these tax authorities.
First up, we have the classic “Ghostbusters” by Ray Parker Jr. But the one that really hits home is “Somebody’s Watching Me” by Rockwell.
If you haven’t heard it, head over to YouTube and give it a listen.
Pay close attention to the line: “the mailman? The IRS?”
This song has become a paranoia-rock anthem and a staple for Halloween mixes.
And let’s be real, when it comes to the IRS and the FTB, a little paranoia is more than justified.
These entities have the power to make your life a living nightmare with their relentless pursuit of past due balances, wage garnishments, liens, and levies.
But here’s the thing – just like in the Ghostbusters movie, you don’t have to face these tax terrors alone.
I’ve made it my mission to be the proton pack-wielding hero that helps you take on the IRS and the FTB head-on.
With my expertise and experience, I can help you navigate the haunted halls of tax debt and come out on the other side unscathed.
