How do people report days for tax purposes? i.e. do you report Monday and Thursday as day at client or day at home office given travel?

I work from 12am-8am Monday’s and 5pm-12am Thursday’s.....for tax purposes 😂

Why would you not just be accurate?

Because more entries to add, more time it takes etc it's a reasonable question. I try to avoid adding multiple lines of the same activity code so I just select wherever I was at the most that week.

I book my travel time in whichever state I woke up in, and assuming I leave Monday morning and come home Thursday night, book all other time to the client location. I've heard that you can get audited if your charges don't match the location where you booked time. Also at a big 4.

I report the work location so if I'm flying to NY on Monday, returning Thursday, I report four days New York, one day in Chicago

Ey1, it can be tax fraud. I know our finance team matches AMEX charges to locations we bill time to.

Report actuals?

Depends if your client’s location has state taxes... Trust me, I work at an accounting firm.

What do you mean report days?

Pwc3 what about Monday and Thursday? In theory you worked on both places

Where I actually did the work

That makes sense... but what are the implications of not doing that and just doing one line item per activity per week - Is it hurting the firm in anyway?

^^^ Do you ever charge Monday breakfast/coffee from your home airport or Thursday dinner from your "home" city?

Yes, but potentially worse, I select a trip report and just go with the single location selected in the expense report details which then cascades into each line item. What's interesting is I will often say breakfast at airport before flight / diner after flight regardless of the location recorded. It sounds like I'm fucking up in several regards

But I have no plans to change

@EY1 - WHY change if it's already WORKING?! ;)

C2-former yes, latter hell no

As realtors, our worst and best friend are the contractors, being friends with the contractor that remodelled a home you are going to sell is a plus because you can know for sure what kind of improvements were made to the house and why; and what kind of things are pending to be improved, that way you can provide real information to the client. You know what they say: a happy client always comes back to you.

Does anyone use Universal Local Campaigns? A client wants supplemental support for specific locations. I’ve never run a ULC campaign targeting a single location - any idea if this would compete with our existing campaigns targeting the same locations (we run campaigns targeting location groups by region)? Can a ULC targeting a single location see scale without sacrificing too much cost/store visit efficiency? Google Help articles are, unsurprisingly, no help.

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
