DIRECTIONS

Our client came to us nervous and confused with a proposed tax liability from the IRS of $10,840 from the state of Illinois. The client resided and worked in North Carolina, and his wife lived in Illinois. The state calculated his tax, forgetting to include the credit for the North Carolina taxes the family had already paid. We got right to work, created the correct Illinois return, and were able to save our client $8,942! This was not the original scope of our engagement, but we were able to pivot and get a great outcome for or client!

In a large bowl, combine noodles, crab or shrimp, cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, peas, green and red peppers, onions, and carrots, then mix together gently. 3. Refrigerate the pasta salad for 3–4 hours. If salad is dry upon removing from refrigerator, add more ranch dressing. 4.
