Haircuts pose a problem for an online interaction. Dentistry, nope. But an online tax accountant is a snap! Yeah, it might be a shift in the paradigm\u2026 but long before we had this panic, tax preparation was shifting to a virtual tax preparation engagement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<style><\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-6732da7e743ef\" class=\" wd-rs-6732da7e743ef wd-info-box wd-wpb text-left box-icon-align-top box-style- color-scheme- wd-bg-none border-btm-title \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"info-box-title title wd-font-weight-800 box-title-style-default font-primary wd-fontsize-m\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Online_Tax_Filing\"><\/span>Online Tax Filing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-inner reset-last-child\"><p>WCG has been remotely preparing tax returns since 2007 using secure online client portals, text messaging, videoconferencing, and other technologies. While many CPA firms now offer client portals, we needed to leverage the online world much earlier in our firm\u2019s history. Why? I was an airline pilot for 17 years\u2026 and prior to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/tax-center\/tax-cuts-jobs-acts-2017\/\">Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017<\/a>, pilots and flight attendants had a unique tax situation with per diem and travel expenses. So being a tax-minded person in the tax accountant business allowed me to help this type of taxpayer as their online accountant.<\/p>\n<p>However, an airline employee is historically very nomadic. Moving from airline to airline, and moving from domicile to domicile required WCG to create process and procedures to prepare tax returns remotely as an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/tax-center\/getting-started\/\">online tax accountant<\/a>. As time marched on, other clients found this way of doing business to be wonderful.<\/p>\n<p>Why spend time out of your workweek to meet with your tax accountant? Wouldn\u2019t you rather sit in the comfort of your PJs or Snuggie collection sippin\u2019 on a nice latte while you upload tax documents to your CPA? Of course you would! Heck, prior to moving into our own office, I had a client one floor down from us who would rather send us his stuff remotely than walk up a flight of stairs to see us. I saw him more in the bathroom than I did in the office.<\/p>\n<p>Also, since most tax documents come to you as a PDF, printing this information out, scheduling an appointment and driving to your CPA seems outdated. Correction\u2026 it is outdated. Fast forward\u2026 it is March 15, 2020, and the world is losing its mind with the Coronavirus. Social distancing. 6 and 250 become household numbers. Grocery stores with empty shelves. Quarantines.
