Coop, question for you

[WVUBRU]

Are you and your firm seeing an uptick in individuals asking for tax advice or procuring your assistance for preparation of taxes? I'm getting a lot of questions and I haven't been doing CPA tax work since mid 90's.

It's honestly about the same amount right now, but A LOT more time on that number of clients. Seeing really big jump in single member LLC, Schedule C type clients. I've also been doing some valuation/litigation work and you should see the demand to try and get divorces finalized in 2018 before the new alimony rules go in to affect. Pass!

Oh god no. I am in no way a scumbag lawyer. I are an accountant. I presume you are talking about alimony settlements? They are strictly based on the income earner, regardless of sex or same sex.

What is changing is the deduct-ability for the alimony payer and the inclusion by the receiver. (only on settlements after 12-31-18)

It doesn't. The new tax "cut" law affected the alimony system, not the gayz.
