Forms based data entry is vastly overrated. It's more of a crutch than an efficient means of tax preparation. There are rare occasions when I miss it, but on the whole I'm very glad that Drake helped me break that dependence and utilize data entry screens efficiently.

Problem is resolved. I reversed some adjustments I made to my security software and this solved the problem.

>>> It's very easy to do a Schedule C for someone claiming to make $17500 as a cleaning lady with 3 kids.....and you don't need to submit any bona fide proof. It's not rocket science. Any tax preparer who participates in that kind of fraud, deserve the wrath of IRS in my opinion.

Most tax preparers would probably refuse this request, citing IRS ethical standards. Without a written authorization to release information, there would be little defense against a malpractice suit if the landlord denies the application. Even with a release, fax is basically NEVER considered a reasonable business practice for handling confidential information because there is no control over who has access on the receiving end. It was different in the past, but nowadays the professional approach is to hand the letter to the client personally. Period.
