Can everybody hold off on filing their extension until mine are accepted, I don't want the e-file system to be overloaded j/k. Good luck to all and hope this season was profitable for all. MAS

I put in my request on 2/26 and it was refunded back to my credit card this morning for the full price of TTO less the $99 handling fee. Total refunded was $1601.10. I had a couple of returns that were in the works with the program that weren't completed, only 1 return actually efiled through ATX. I did efile W-2s and 1099s through the payroll program that the company didn't count in my processing total, which I really think they could have. It took a while, but I wanted to post that the company IS honoring refund requests.

I always file extensions anyway.

And they did have another option, I bet. That was to sell it at a lower price. A bigger loss, but as noted, they could have reduced the price by up to 8K without losing anything more.

that is what I was going to do but then second call to tech and they re-imported and now it works.

Yes on the strong storms tonight and tomorrow. By Saturday, cold again and the possibility of snow. The groundhog was lynched today!!

If you did not get through, the procedure that works for us is from within the return look at the return tab box called imports middle one is assets it will open box to browse to wherever your data is called fam data open it and there is another data click on it and it will search for the assets. somehow we have 3 data files. takes awile but so far have always recovered.

Vaseline survey A man doing market research knocked on a door and was greeted by a young woman with three small children running around at her feet. He says, 'I'm doing some research for Vaseline. Have you ever used the product?' She says, 'Yes. My husband and I use it all the time.' 'And if you don't mind me asking, what do you use it for?' ... 'We use it for sex.' The researcher was a little taken back. 'Usually people lie to me and say that they use it on a child's bicycle chain or to help with a gate hinge. But, in fact, I know that most people do use it for sex. I admire you for your honesty. Since you've been frank so far, can you tell me exactly how you use it for sex?' The woman says, 'I don't mind telling you at all... My husband and I put it on the door knob and it keeps the kids out.' And you thought it was gonna be a dirty joke...! Shame on you !

Jerry: So if you did your sermon outline in your sleep, would I retain more of the message if I fell asleep DURING that sermon? I have an urgent need for an answer before next Sunday.

>>Eventually, they rented it<< I would take a close look at dates and other details. The credit uses the same definition of "principal residence" as Section 121, which is no real definition at all. Under Section 121, renting while you are trying to sell is not "unqualified use." I believe when there are two homes the principal one is where they spent the most time during the tax year. You might not have to stretch those definitions much to reach 36 months. It might not hold up on audit, but it might not need to and anyway Circular 230 doesn't let you consider that . So you only have to convince one out of three of us (although I've noticed a lack of sympathy in the forum lately). Even paying it back isn't so bad--it just means they got a two or three year loan at zero interest.

Someone recently asked for my bio for a brochure they're doing. Here's what I sent (I wish the pic would have copied in--I used a photo of Millard Filmore): Jerry S is a world renowned chess master (to even the odds, he often plays with one arm tied behind his back!) and also was the first to ever scale Mt Neverest while blindfolded and with one hand tied behind his back. At the tender age of three he pioneered the one-handed method of playing violin (he plays the Minute Waltz in 53 seconds flat!). You’ve heard of the 1976 war between the US and Andorra? Of course not! Jerry single handedly averted it through a masterful combination of shrewd diplomacy and shameless pandering to special interest groups on both sides. He declined consideration for the Noble Peas Prize due to his distaste for legumes. As you have no doubt deduced, Jerry is an accomplished fabricationist and is also adept at abject obfuscation. He is a 98th degree holder in the mythic Order of Fahrenheit. He denies having introduced John to Yoko, but admits to playing a minor role in the demise of the Beatles by having failed to purchase the White Album. He was the first to envision the charismatic Amish movement now sweeping the region. He speaks, reads and writes ESL fluently. In his spare time he enjoys hosting outdoor ping-pong tournaments at hurricane parties and dabbling in neurological microsurgery. Fabulously wealthy by the age of sixteen, Jerry gave it all to charity and is now relegated to taking part-time jobs and volunteering at church food pantries (mainly to scarf leftovers at the free food centers). Jerry is married to the extraordinary Jeanie S. At last count they had five children and fourteen grandchildren, each of whom has accomplished exploits that far outshine Jerry’s. If you don’t believe it, just ask him. He’ll talk about his grandkids all day! If there’s anything else you need to know just call 555-1212 . . . ask for Jerry.

<<<<Look at it this way, it's a darn good thing she called now, so she can pay by the due date. If she called on 4/20 with the same question she'd be blaming you for the penalty!!!!!>>>>> My thoughts exactly.

>>he pays for every thing<< Although they live apart, they have obviously not ended the relationship. Under California community property law she still must report half of his income. But tell her not to worry--just call the school financial aid office in the morning. They can't verify the tax return with IRS until August anyway, so it isn't that big a deal.

figured out the problem with my import. You have to be on the k-1 entry form then do the import function. works now for me. It didn't say that in the instruction but does show it at top of form.
