IRS Revenue Officers Not Required to Use Secure Messaging

IRS Secure Messaging offers a faster, more secure way to exchange tax documents, but many IRS Revenue Officers are not consistently using it. This concern has been raised within the IRS, with the hope that its use may become mandatory.

TXCPA Events & Training

I would love to tell you a story about finding a passion for helping business owners or saving people money on their tax returns. The honest truth is I realized being a CPA was going to give me a job forever and help me build the lifestyle I wanted. I enjoy travel, fancy restaurants, and good wine. Being a CPA has given me a path to that. Along the way I have certainly enjoyed helping people (I'm not a monster y'all), but its not the actual WHY that drove my choice.

-Brandon L. Howard, CPA, Owner of Brandon L. Howard CPA PLLC.

I was excited to get involved in my local chapter and give back to the community. I actively participated in events and the chapter followed up with lots of opportunities for me to serve and lead. I’m involved with programs for students and young professionals, because I think it is important to connect with the next generation of CPAs.

-Lara Akinboye, CPA, CFE, CMA

I am grateful for the volunteer leadership opportunities that have helped me hone some very useful skillsets for my work outside of TXCPA.

-Josh LeBlanc, CPA
