Starting from the top, I just happened to stumble across your page. Have you ever came across an article or page and wanted to dig deeper and learn more and gain all the knowledgeable insight you can from that article or the person who wrote it? Well that’s how I feel right now after reading an article of your from 2008 about VITA. Moving along how awesome there’s podcasts to chime in and listen on. So from the top lol Season 1 haha. Goes back to them PPP Loans, I wonder if you could do a follow-up on forgiveness and how things are going with some of the business owners that did get the loans and have some of them paid them off etc…what are some of their thoughts 5 years later. Anyhow, as I am in research mode, I am thankful to have come across your social. You have lifted me up with encouragement to keep going in my tax career, I struggled with the EA part 2, passed part 1, time ran out, and now I have to start all over. I can’t give us though because this is the career of my choice. Anyways, nice reading and listening for me today. You are truly an inspiration. Stay blessed and stay putting out this tax info.
