I finally received word that I've been officially selected for the seasonal work at IRS. I start January 22 and will work for approximately 5 months, depending on my performance and how the tax season plays out. If taxpayer filings are later overall, I may have the opportunity to work a little later into the year.
When the season is over, and assuming good work performance, I will be placed on a call-back list and can take other work until they ask me to come back. I plan to do temp work during the off-season.

A Little Thing To Save Money: Now that I know for sure when I'll start work and what hours I'll be working, I've registered with a couple of different carpool/ride share networks in hopes of finding a way to keep gasoline costs down.
A Little Thing To Simplify Our Lives: When my job begins, I'll need to leave the house at about the time I currently get up in the mornings. Between now and my start date, I'll gradually get myself and Kat up a little earlier each morning so that getting up early won't be such a shock.

Hi! Donna sent me to your site. She thought I might like it and I do!
Good luck with the job!
Sheila: Yeah, I can, but I can't take money for it. Hope that's not a problem. ;)
Dadguy and Gay: Thanks!
Donna: Yes, it's nice to know for sure what's going on.
Dannalie: Welcome! I'll be over to see your blog soon!
Why can't you take money? How about DQ gift certificates? LD
IRS considers it a conflict of interest to receive money for both preparing returns and reviewing them as an IRS employee.
And btw, should my own return or the return of anyone I know (or even think I know), land on my desk, I have to take it immediately to a supervisor for someone else to review. I can lose my job if I review it myself.
On the other hand, if a celebrity's return comes through, assuming I don't actually know the person, I can look at their return all I want...I just can't tell anyone what I learn from it.
