I find that CPAs, when first hired, like to see historical returns that have been filed -- it helps them see what was done, whether it was done correctly, and what will be needed. Everything that you can supply to them as background, do it. I will send you a private message shortly.

An interesting parallel and some information we may not have known. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why Foreign Campus Demonstrators Must Go President Donald Trump's administration has mostly defended its efforts to deport visa-holding foreign students on the grounds that the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) allows deportation of those whose actions might have "adverse foreign policy consequences." But the administration could do a better job of articulating squarely whatadverse consequences, exactly, it fears from the actions of high-profile detainees like Columbia University's Mahmoud Khalil, who engaged in and helped organize anti-Israel protests.

Took Cat T-B. to vet for annual fizzicle (this should be the spelling), rabies shot, and 4-wheel manicure. Traumatic as usual to catch her. I always put the carrier out a couple of days before true need. Cat didn't follow her usual routine this morning. I even called in to say that it didn't look promising. However, I caught her right afterward. She screamed during the entire <3-mile drive there, which is frazzling. Once there, I was afraid that she and I would both have to see a cat psychiatrist. Cat T-B. will be 6 years old in one week. Tech & vet both commented on her soft fur. Cat is a little "fluffy" in weight. Was in & out in half an hour. Cat didn't scream quite as much on the way home. She had to reinspect the entire downstairs before she was sure that it was home. As usual, after the manicure, she has been far calmer than usual (wonder why that is with many/all cats). She was sleeping until just now, awakening because it's time for treats, Feed Me Now Daddy.

The BB has a relevant take on this, and the closing paragraph is priceless: --- South Africa Denounces White Refugees For Leaving Before They Had A Chance To Take All Their Stuff And Kill Them CAPE TOWN — While controversy over displaced farmers swirled in the United States, officials in South Africa denounced white refugees for leaving before they had a chance to take all their stuff and kill them. As white South Africans fled to the United States in search of refuge, leaders in their home country expressed outrage that they just took off rather than stay and be persecuted and killed for being white. "This is unacceptable," said Lungelo Nkosi-Jones, who heads up South Africa's Ministry of White Persecution.

DNC To Remove David Hogg After Realizing He's David Hogg U.S. — The Democratic National Committee has begun the process to oust David Hogg from its leadership after realizing that he is David Hogg.

This is sad stuff. Years ago, the media tried hard to raise panic about killer bees but somehow failed. At least these aren't murder-hornets.

DOCTOR COMPLEX A long line of souls was waiting to enter the Pearly Gates into Heaven. Suddenly, an old man in a white coat with a stethoscope came pushing his way to the front, exclaiming, "Let me by! Coming through! Move aside! Important business!" As the old man entered Heaven, the first soul in line asked St. Peter, "Who was that?" "Ah, that's God," said St. Peter, rolling his eyes in bored fashion. "He just THINKS he's a doctor."
