When someone calls or emails me with what they think is a Simple Tax Question, they think that by giving me Fact A + Fact B + Fact C + Fact D, with my astounding analytical skills, I can put those facts into my mondo-superconductive-massively-powerful tax brain and spit out a definitive answer to their Simple Tax Question.
Taxpayers are thinking in linear terms.
Tax work is not linear and can't be solved by linear thinking.
Most situations involve a series of questions in order to have all the facts necessary to come up with an answer. Knowing what questions to ask...and when it's necessary to dig deeper is what makes tax work challenging and rewarding.
You can't give good tax advice with limited information any more than you can make good paella with limited ingredients.
Taxes and paella. Both involve a lot of ingredients.
