It’s the time of year when tax experts are Twitterpated! Yes, on tax Twitter, it’s not Singles Awareness Day, but rather time for #TaxValentines! Twitter member Jeremy Cape reportedly started them a few years ago. Many of the valentines take the traditional format of the classic love poem, such as this never-before-tweeted basic tax valentine:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I adore taxes
And I also love you
I like to play with the second line, such as in this one that I tweeted last year:
Roses are red
No need to feel blue
Valentines aren’t income
Per Section 102— Leandra Lederman (@Leandra2848) February 11, 2017
This next one plays with “rose” and is also a public service announcement:
Your take-home pay rose
But before you spend more
You’d better fill out
A new W-4— Leandra Lederman (@Leandra2848) February 7, 2018
Some of the tax valentines include plays on words, political commentary, and/or comments on recent tax developments. Here’s an example, with my follow-up, too:
Roses are red
Chocolates are brown
I need a sweet pick-me-up

I’ll leave you with a few more of mine:
Roses are red
Our love’s an oasis
Stop trying to claim
It has a negative basis— Leandra Lederman (@Leandra2848) February 8, 2018
Roses are red
At tax time, I’m blue
It’s none of my business
But are you a pass-through?— Leandra Lederman (@Leandra2848) February 5, 2018
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I long for some QBI
And I’d share it with you #taxvalentines— Leandra Lederman (@Leandra2848) February 10, 2018
There’s a lot more where that came from! I haven’t wanted to post anyone else’s work here without permission but I encourage you to check out the #taxvalentines hashtag on Twitter! This link will bring them up by “latest” and this one by “top” (which nonetheless seems to exclude some with a lot of likes). Enjoy! ❤
