Did everyone get the email that the 2012 product is out for demo purposes. They promise better printing, the option to open more than one return at a time and more global preparer options. YEA!

Way too soon!!!! Patience...

"Taxpayers who adopt a child with special needs are allowed to claim the full amount of the credit regardless of actual expenses paid or incurred in the year the adoption becomes final (Code Sec. 36C(a)(3). Wouldn't it be nice if they extended this very worthy credit for special needs kids? I have a client who adopted three in 2005 and never had a problem with the credit which we carried forward to 2011 which was their fifth and final year. In 2011, they had an awful time getting their refund and exchanged paperwork for several months before they finally got their credit in Nov. Personally, I thought the "old" way of not refundable was a much better plan. It just wiped out their tax liability. However, I don't get to make the laws.

Those of us in Ohio who do a ton of MFS love the idea! Now I can see both current returns at the same time! Even with multiple screens, two in the same year was not possible!!

The ability to open multiple returns will be huge to those of us who work alone and have only one screen. I don't know how many times I have had to close down the return I was working on in order to reference another one. Add this to a new faster computer and I will save a lot of time.

I have seen my natural gas bill cut 60% due to the newly discovered gas entering the market. Two years ago, GCR was $1.05/ccf. August bill sees the GCR at $.39/ccf. I use a very small amount of natural gas for heat and hot water. Larger consumers will save even more. The "greed" is driven by a marketplace demand. I prefer the word "entrepreneurial spirit" seeing an opportunity to help supply meet demand. Calling the entrepreneurs "greedy" is the basis of class warfare, and I am appalled at how quickly we insult those that choose to take the chances and do things that we could have but did not choose to do.
