Happy Valentine’s Day! Believe it or not, our friends on #TaxTwitter possess talents that stretch far beyond understanding the tax code, deftly dealing with awful clients, drinking massive quantities of coffee, and being able to function somewhat like a human after working 80-plus hours a week. They can also write poetry! And what better day to express their love for their profession than Valentine’s Day.
While some #TaxValentines offer tax advice in a hokey way, others creatively gripe about their busy season problems. More accurately, creatively gripe about schedules K-2 and K-3:
Roses 🌹 are red
Your tax pro’s blue
Ruing the debut of
Schedules K3 and K2 #TaxValentines— Phyllis Jo Kubey (@PKubeyEA) February 14, 2022
Roses are red,
With thorns you can see,
I’d rather be pricked ‘til I bleed,
Than deal with Schedules K-2 and K-3. #TaxValentines— Justin Miller (@justinmilleresq) February 11, 2022

Roses are red
And so is my pen
Which is lonely now that

Roses are red
Your accountant might be blue
If you want to make them happy

The requirements for schedule K-2 and K-3 are the worst. Having to fill out that massive document for a private equity fund with no foreign investments and no foreign investors is a huge waste of time. Why do I need to fill out a schedule that shows all of the the K-1 line items broken out as US Source vs. Foreign Source income or deductions when the preparer can just look at the first pg of the K-1 and get the same information when their is no foreign investments.
