What Were They Thinking?!
Patrick & Robinson CPAs is “celebrating” the 100th anniversary of the income tax because seriously, what were they thinking?!100 years ago, the U.S. Revenue Act of 1913 was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson. Since then, the tax code has grown from 400 pages to more than 74,000 pages! That’s ridiculous!Although the congressional committees are now seriously considering comprehensive tax reform, chances of passage this year are limited and won’t likely be approved in time for the 2014 tax season. Yet we’re not giving up hope that our country's leaders can create a more efficient system with the right “incentive” from the home folks.In the coming months, Patrick & Robinson will give you opportunities to make your voice heard:
