My kids now think I'm badass, so it was worth it.

Thanx, Judy. I'm hoping my clients will like having a crazy tax lady, and that they'll be too afraid of me to complain about my fees!

Eric, compared to the HUGE benefits we receive from your work providing this forum, a little down time is only a TINY TINY inconvenience. Thank You for all you do.

Your kids aren't the only ones!

A fair price for a return with one W-2, no itemized deductions and no state tax return would be about $ 50, but I have a minimum fee of $ 100 because I have to allow for the time waiting for them to come in, ask a few questions to make sure that is all, then have the risk that a month later they will discover they forgot that broker's statement or that K-1 or something else. If you could whip out one such return right after another every ten minutes, with no later problems, it might pay to do them for $50.

Like MAMalody, my practice is almost exclusively internet based and clergy-centric. Most of my clients are scattered all around Ohio but I have clients in 21 other states. Many started out here in Ohio but moved; others somehow heard about me and contacted me. I created my own organizer many years ago and just update it each year (still working on the 2014 update). It's a 9-10 page fillable Word form. I'd be happy to share it with anyone who wants to take a look at it. Just PM me.

I have no idea...but a lot more than my $125. I raised it to $175 (Tax Act doesn't have the software...I had to use fill-in forms.) and they ran........ My non-resident aliens live all over the country....not NYC. They really don't make much...which is why I did it for so little. But...then I got tons of "their friends"....and it became just too much. Once one kept trying to bargain....and I got so fed up I told him..."I'm not a bazaar!"

Last year I lost a few non-resident aliens because I increased my "idiotically low fee" to one that was only "ridiculously low"......and it felt great!

The application location cannot be altered, but you will have the ability to change the storage locations for tax prep data (i.e. returns) and changing the database backup location by using the Admin Console. You can access the Admin console by going to Programs>CCH Small Firm Services>ATX 2013>ATX 2013 Admin Console

You goofed, you should have selected server then workstation not standalone on the workstations.
