It'll all be fine.  AI is going to take over.  Nobody needs tax accountants anymore. 🙂

Pick your poison.  I know folks who retired when ACA was passed and added a bunch of tax forms (Add'l Medicare, NIIT, PTC).  More folks retired when TCJA "simplified" everything . . . well, as long as you didn't have to deal with QBI.  Then the forms were "simplified" to fit on a postcard (with 6 pages of brand new schedules 1-6 attached to said postcard).  Now they've "simplified" things by eliminating half of those schedules, and making the remaining schedules two pages each.

I don't know what's coming next, but I'll probably be on the bus with 200,000 other retiring preparers.
