I second the socializing. We got our boys when they were 6 months an after bringing them home realized they were not socialized at all. It’s been a struggle but we’re finally getting them comfortable with family, friends and other dogs.

Top Questions to Ask a Paid Preparer
-
How do you determine your fee and how much will it cost?
- Reasonable fees vary, but the cost to prepare your return should not be based on the amount of your refund.
-
Are you open and available all year-round?
- Preparers should be available year-round to help you as needed.
-
What is the expected time frame for receiving my completed tax returns after submitting all required documents?
- Setting clear expectations is crucial.
-
If the Michigan Department of Treasury or IRS contacts me regarding my return, will you be able to assist me?
- The answer should be yes because you must respond if this happens.
-
Will you be signing the tax return as a preparer?
- Yes.
May I see proof of your PTIN?
- All signing preparers are required to have a PTIN.
-
How is your data protected?
- The preparer should have a written security plan as required by the IRS.
-
Will I be receiving my refund directly (i.e., through the mail or direct deposit)?
- Refunds should come to you directly, and direct deposit is the fastest and safest way to get your refund.
-
Will you provide me with a copy of my completed tax return and return any original documents I provided?
- Yes.
-
Are you affiliated with a professional organization?
-
How do you learn about new tax laws?
- The best answer is through continuing education.
- Do you have a professional license, credential, or training? If so, may I see proof including current status?
*A “no” response to questions 8 & 9 does not necessarily mean that the tax preparer has a lesser ability to properly prepare your tax return.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Salaries of Employees from "non-profit charity" I was going to donate tooEnglish
0·2 years agoThis is a good reminder that you can look up Form 990 for any nonprofit (they are required to submit one), which includes any staff that make over $100k.
Also, it looks like the “salaries” you found are total compensation, which also includes medical and retirement benefits. The CEO’s salary is around $600k, but also got a $300k+ bonus.



1000% don’t make others pay for your mistake.
