ABOUT THE AUTHOR - ROBERT D FLACH






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), TAXPRO TODAY (https://www.accountingtoday.com/author/robert-d-flach) and THE STREET (https://www.thestreet.com/author/1291389/robert-flach/all.html)  

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 NEW 1040”, “TAX SMARTS”, “THE JOY OF AVOIDING NEW JERSEY TAXES” and ‘SO YOU WANT TO BE A TAX PREPARER”.
