I have used the Comparison for as long as they have had it, and with EVERY return. Not only can I see if I am missin something, it showes the EXAC line by line of any increases or decreases. Amazing how much more the client understands!!!

I can only speak for NYS - -and YES, a NYS pension is totally excluded from NYS taxable income.

LOVE IT!!!!! Thanks KC!

I always charged $10 per child return , and adjusted it if there were more than a couple of W-2's, additional state or self employment. It was worth the minimal amount just to make sure the kid di not do it by themselves and accidentially claim themselves. We all know how much fun that is!!!!

I'm sure you will do great!!!

A surprising number of clients bring "samples" in - - -everything from crafts, baked goods, sponge samples-my all time favotire - - a taxadermist who gave my husband & son 3 skinned, frozen and not clean skulls! Yeah, one of them was a bison - -took about $150 on the gass grill to clean" them - - - -

I agree! Just man up, accept responsibility, apologize, and remind them we are people who have to do a whole year's work in 4 months!!!!!

DONE!!!!!!!!!

I have found that a number of caculations need to have the return closed and reopened inorder to get the correct information to flow. When all else fails - -reboot!!!!!!

NYS "regulation" is an additional $100 Registration with minimal continuing education requirements. They do however, verify that you have no outstanding NYS tax liability. I suspect that is the reason that the number of preparer filed tax returns have declined in certain areas, and "self-prepared" returns are increasing.

Does anyone know a site that will explain WHY cruise ship employees owe taxes in NYS when they are in florida 270 + days a year? OK - - did NOT change drivers licnese, car registration or voting registration. All credit cards, cell bills etc list NYS address. Also, stays with friends or on the ships when docked in florida, so had no rent in Fl either. Only comes home to NYS for about a month a year. Received a letter for 2008 lst year - -now gets one for 2009 from NYS - -never filed a state return.

:spaz:

I am having a "moment" - -actually more than a few lately!!! How do I change the mailing address for IR Service Center for returns filed in NYS? I am getting CA - -when I believe it is Kansas City. thank You all!!!!
