 Internal revenue service, IRS tax news, 2023 IRS nationwide tax forms to be held in five cities. Nationwide tax forms, I'm not sure that sounds good. I mean it sounds kind of like the sheriff of Nottingham is coming to town or something and they're acting like it's a good thing and they're going to like promote it like a sneaky. Speaking of deceptive promotions, did you know Hershey chocolate is promoting women's history month with like a Hershey bar? You get it? It's like a Hershey bar, the commercial featuring however a man, a trans man but you know a man and I hate to repeat an overused phrase go woke go broke but I have a feeling this Hershey trans bar commercial will result in nothing but a revenue foobar. You see like most people need to be able to recognize what something is before they're willing to whip out their old credit card. I mean honestly, like never in history have corporations been so brazen and using the old bait and switch. I'm telling you like you go in looking for a nice Hershey chocolate and they sneak you a he bar dressed in Hershey chocolate and it's like oh great once again they stuck me with a he bar. Typical I'm telling it's typical. As advertised my satisfaction depends on it. They'll go home bait and switch. You know there's laws against that kind of bait and switch and for good reason dang it bait and switch bait and switch no no there was no switch no switch. Honestly like if I'm gonna have to hear about women's history all month I want to at least hear about actual women for crying out loud. Like I don't want to hear about how the discoverer of electricity was actually a woman because like Benjamin Franklin were one of those funny old English wigs from time to time. You know so I did he's he's still a man you know the the wig was a cultural construct indicating him as being a man at the time not vice versa you know I mean like although the cultural constructs change I'm pretty sure they were all designed to reduce awkward confusion about someone's actual physical gender. I mean like like there's a difference between making fun of the social constructs designed to signify or symbolize something and then actually saying that the thing being symbolized isn't real. I mean it's like the difference between making fun of the way we write the number two and then claiming there's no actual concept of two nests. Like if I was if I was to order two her she bars I don't care if you write down the order with a picture of a cat as long as you can identify and complete the order resulting in me with two her she bars. However if you tell me that two nests doesn't actually exist and therefore you just replaced the two with a zero I'm gonna want my money back you know I'm just that's I mean honestly like personally I think her she would make more money celebrating an imaginative smart and successful woman like for example oh I don't know if they were able to get jk Rawlings in the commercial hey oh that's sorry Phil calm down calm down I'm still recovering from the knife wounds you gave me last time I mentioned her but I'm just saying you know like jk Rawlings clearly knows how to sell a few books and stuff following the old golden rule one iteration of which is don't sell the rights to your intellectual property to big media companies like Disney Amazon because although they have the money they've clearly lost their soul tax pro may register now to earn continuing education credits IR 2023-37 March 2nd 2023 Washington registration for this summer's 2023 IR as nationwide tax forms is now open the forms returned to an in-person format in five cities across the nation for the first time since 2019 so obviously during the pandemic we had the virtual forms which is a whole different kind of looking field for it so we're back to the live forms which is actually that's good news so held for more than 30 years the IRS nationwide tax forms are the IRS marquee outreach event to tax professional community each of the five IRS nationwide tax forms is a three-day event with more than 40 seminars and workshops on a wide variety of federal and state tax issues presented by experts from the IRS and partner organizations from the tax community 2023 nationwide tax forms the cities include New Orleans July 11 through 13 Atlanta Georgia July 25 through 27 national harbor Washington DC August 8 through the 10th San Diego California August 22 through 24 Orlando Florida August 29 through 31 the IR nationwide tax forms are designed specifically for tax professionals enrolled agents certified public accountants certified financial planners and annual filing season program participants as well as uncredentialed tax professionals attendees may earn up to 18 continuing education credits so that is always good in addition to continuing professional education attendees get access to the popular case resolution program as well as dozens of exhibitors in the forum expo hall participants can also participate in focus groups and network with colleagues tax professionals can register now there's a link to the register now here if you want to do that there'll be a link to this in the description
