TaxMama’s® TaxQuips – An Ode to April 15!

2021-04-13 by Eva Rosenberg


  An Ode to April 15!


Why is every year the same
When we play this taxing game?


“May 17th” turns out to be,
something we couldn’t really foresee!


With estimates still due on April 15.
Folks do think the IRS is mean!


Costs us more than just one night
Making sure that all is right!


Until at the latest day,
We finally know what we get or pay!


Why these taxes have to be
Like a nasty little flea?


Once they bite you, that’s for sure -
Your life will never be like before!


Love or hate them,
Up to you…
but don’t forget: Tax returns are due!


And if you don’t know what to do,
Ask TaxMama® – she’ll tell you true !

Happy New Year

2015-12-30 by Eva Rosenberg

Fireworks - Adelaide Skyshow 2010
Today TaxMama® wants to wish you a Happy New Year 2016 – and leave you with these snippets of fun.

 

I was thinking…

...about how the status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped on. I can’t afford one so I’m wearing my garage door opener.

You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people didn’t like me anyway.

...that women should put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans.

...about old age and decided that it is when you still have something on the ball but you are just too tired to bounce it.

...about making a movie for folks my age and call it “Pumping Rust.”

I have gotten that dreaded furniture disease … that’s when your chest is falling into your drawers.

You know when people see a cat’s litter box, they always say, “Oh have you got a cat?” Just once I wanted to say, “Nope. It’s for company. Help yourself. Make yourself comfy. Take your time.”

Employment application blanks always ask who is to be notified in case of an emergency. I think you should write A Good Doctor … or 911!

Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are you supposed to do, write to these men? Why don’t they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen could look for them while they deliver the mail?

...about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older, then it dawned on me: they were cramming for their finals.

Tax Season Blues

2015-04-15 by Eva Rosenberg

http://www.taxmama.com/art/main/busy.gifToday TaxMama® just wants to bring up a little lightness of being. Today is the day to pay last year’s taxes with the extension; estimated taxes for this year, and the final IRA contribution to reduce last year’s taxes a bit. So…it’s time to sing the blues.

 

 

 

The Post-Tax Filing Blues


I finally filed my tax return.

Through sleepless nights, how my eyes burn.

I dug and searched before I filed.

But let me tell you, I am riled.

I work too hard and pay a ton.

But, hey,…for now, my tax return’s done.

…. is yours?

Flying High on Puns

2013-07-15 by Eva Rosenberg

1) A plane was coming in for a landing at the Athens airport. As the plane flew was low over some hills , a lady asked the flight attendant: “What’s that stuff on those hills?”

“Just snow,” replied the flight attendant.

“That’s what I thought,” said the lady, “but this fellow in front of me said it was Greece.”

2) An instructor in chemical warfare asked soldiers in his class: “Anyone know the formula for water?”

“Sure. That’s easy,” said one student. It’s H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O.”

“What, what?” exclaimed the instructor in bewilderment.

“H to O,” explained the student.

3) A famous admiral and an equally famous general were fishing together when a sudden squall came up. When it died down both eminent warriors were struggling helplessly in the water.

The admiral floundered his way back to the boat and pulled himself painfully in. Then he fished out the general, using an oar.

Catching his breath, he puffed: “Please don’t say a word about this to anyone. If the Navy found I can’t swim I’d be disgraced.

“Don’t worry,” the general said. “Your secret is safe. I’d hate to have my men find out I can’t walk on water.”
