It feels difficult to believe that 2018 is almost over. I know everyone says that toward the end of every year, but that feeling has definitely increased around here this time around.

The biggest reason has been the amount of tax changes that have been coming since the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This even continued over the past week or so when we finally saw the final version of the new 1040 form.  And that coming just about a month before you can start to really use it.

So we started the year with many questions, and along the way we got many answers. As we go into the filing season, we are bound to find many more questions, and we will hope that we are given answers.

In such a time of change and upheaval, it is always heartening to have so many clients we work with so closely that trust us to travel the path together. So to all of you out there, thank you.

In such times, as well, it can be even more important to trust in your family and friends. They are the ones who give you the energy to travel that work path. So to all of you out there, thank you.

At this time of year, we celebrate different holidays in different ways. No matter what you do or how you do it, though, let this be a wish that you take the time to embrace who you’re doing it with. Let this be a time when you get to relax and reenergize.

Happy Holidays!
