President's Message

I would like to start by wishing everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!

With the New Year upon us that means that we will all be getting very busy for some reason oh yeah, that's right, tax season, hurray!

It is important that we take a deep breath and be sure that we are all ready for the upcoming season.  As you are putting together your engagement letters and starting to contact clients to set appointments remember that you are not alone. If a client comes in with an issue that is beyond your expertise then you can look at the website classifieds www.missioneas.org/tax-referral.html to find a member who may have that expertise and refer them. If you have an expertise and want to be part of the referral program contact Dianna at office@missioneas.org and she will be happy to set you up. 

We will have one more luncheon prior to tax season and I will be presenting this month. The topic is "Deductible or Not if so Where".  This will be the last opportunity in a group setting to talk with your fellow members about issues that you may be seeing in the coming tax season so I encourage all to attend. Please be sure to register prior to the cutoff date to be assured that we will have enough room to make everyone comfortable. Just follow this link http://www.missioneas.org/meetings.html .
I look forward to seeing you at the meeting.

After many years of generously donating his time to organize bulk rate purchases of The Tax Book and Quickfinders for his fellow MSEA members, John Oliver, EA has announced that he will no longer be doing so.  Members of MSEA can now order directly from the publishers and receive the same discounted bulk rate through programs that have been set up with MSEA and CSEA.  Even better, ordering this way will result in a donation to the Societies from the publisher.  This is truly a win-win for our members - receive a discounted rate on your reference materials and also help raise money for the Societies at the same time!
 
When placing your order for Quickfinder please mention the discount code "Q520" to receive the bulk rate.  For each individual or business handbook purchased with this code, CSEA will receive a donation of $5 from Quickfinder's publisher Thompson Reuters.  You can contact Quickfinder to place an order by phone at 1-800-510-8997 or order online at http://www.quickfinder.com.
 
When placing your order for The Tax Book please mention the discount code "218" to receive the bulk rate.  For each handbook purchased with this code MSEA will receive a donation of $5 from The Tax Book's publisher Tax Materials Inc.  You can contact The Tax Book to place an order by phone at 1-866-919-5277 or order online at http://www.thetaxbook.com.
