Tax Accounting – Macon and Daisy are married with two kids, Porter and Gus

Macon and Daisy are married with two kids, Porter and Gus, both under 18 and living at home full-time. Macon is employed full-time for Dogs R Us while Daisy stays home taking care of Porter and Gus which is a much harder job than Macon’s. They did live in NC in 2014 but moved to SC in late 2014 after the enterprise for which Macon worked teaching dogs to swim in the ocean went under (pun intended) and he underwent an exhaustive job search which landed them in Columbia; Daisy, in addition to her domestic responsibilities, is working on her Masters so that she might get out of the house. They sold their home in NC in early 2014 and bought a new home with the money they made after renting in SC for several months. Both of their children are in private school and they have three dogs all of which require a lot of pet sitting and maintenance. Finally, Daisy has a chronic medical condition that necessitates much medical care, a good portion of which their health plan does not cover for one absurd reason or another.
