We are scheduled to go home tomorrow afternoon !!! Pray that nothing bad happens to change this, please!

Thanks! I think I might go for all 3! Disassemble 1st, then some pieces for target practice & some pieces for the sledge hammer (just a different tool for practicing).

The TT that come in -- after getting an IRS letter -- deducted their equipment and their new SUV (not just the mileage) long before they ever started the business. I have one now who opened three LLCs in CT and has been ignoring the $250/year/LLC notices from CT and kept calling to ask why I wanted her to pay all that money by 15 April, why I included CT Forms OP-424 with their returns. DIY software computed ES payments they never made; now they want to know why they're getting letters to pay more because they paid the "right" amount of balance due. TT lets them take their grown children living at home as dependents long after they're making as money as Dad, long into their 20s and 30s. TT doesn't add a Schedule C "because I'm not making any money yet," but then they call when they receive a Form 1099 in April or an IRS letter in June. My clients are smart enough to answer the TT questions in the way that gives them the lowest tax liability, and are sure they're smarter than IRS civil servants -- until they get that letter!

I had a client call me in March asking me to "forgive him"... I wasn't sure what the problem was. I knew he had not beenin yet this year. He kept on about he needed me to forgive him. I asked him again what the problem was and he said he had done his return on turbo tax this year and wanted me to forgive him. I said that it was his choice and that maybe I would see him next year. He then told me that if I would forgive him he would never stray again! I again asked him what the problem was. He then told me he had done turbo tax and messed it up and wanted to know how much it would cost for me to fix it for him..... Sometimes they have to "stray" for a year before they really appreciate us! Taxtrio
