Robert
D Flach, a recent transplant from Jersey City NJ to rural Northeast PA, has
been preparing 1040s for individuals in all walks of life since 1972. He is “winding down” his tax practice and no
longer accepts new clients.
In 45+ years of preparing individual income tax
returns he has never used tax preparation software. One of the last of the dinosaurs, he prepares
about 250 sets of returns each year manually.
He learned how to prepare 1040s the best way
possible - by preparing 1040s.
“On my first
day at work for my uncle’s tax preparer, having never prepared a tax return
before, my boss led me to a desk. He
gave me a copy of a client’s prior year 1040 and a briefcase with the current
year’s ‘stuff’ and told me to ‘jump in and swim!’”
Robert has been writing the popular tax blog THE
WANDERING TAX PRO (http://wanderingtaxpro.blogspot.com)
since the summer of 2001. He has also
written articles and commentary for MEDIA FEED (https://mediafeed.org/author/robert-d-flach),

He has created the websites A TAX PROFESSIONAL
FOR TAX REFORM (http://taxprosfortaxreform-com.webs.com),
and FIND A TAX PROFESSIONAL (http://www.findataxprofessional.com).
He has been a member of the National Association of
Tax Professionals for over 30 years, and often writes for the Association's
TAXPRO JOURNAL as well as the newsletter of the New Jersey state chapter
Robert has written several books and reports on tax
planning and preparation and created compilations of original forms, schedules
and worksheets for the average middle-class taxpayer and tax professionals. His books include “THE GOP TAX ACT AND THE
