  1. slightly risque When you’re from the farm, your perception is a little bit different. A farmer drove to a neighbor’s farmhouse and knocked at the door. A boy, about 9, opened the door. “Is your dad or mom home?” said the farmer. “No, they went to town.” “How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?” “No, he went with Mom and Dad.” The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other, mumbling to himself, when the young boy says, “I know where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one, or I can give Dad a message.” “Well,” said the farmer uncomfortably. “No, I really want to talk to your Dad, about your brother Howard getting my daughter Suzy pregnant”. The boy thought for a moment…then says, “You’ll have to talk to my Dad about that. I know he charges $500 for the bulls and $150 for the boars, but I have no idea how much he charges for Howard.”

  2. OK, SEE THAT AND RAISE YOU ONE. Web Sites That Sound Dirty (But Aren't) You have to be careful when you register a domain name! It's sometimes hard to figure out what words are embedded in it if you don't capitalize things well in your advertising: Site: GotAHoe.com (Book yourself a hooker?) Is really: GoTahoe.com (Lake Tahoe Visitors Bureau) Site: PenisLand.net (Vacation spot to envy?) Is really: PenIsland.net (Sells custom pens) Site: TheRapistFinder.com (Locate a violent criminal?) Is really: TherapistFinder.com (Directory of therapists) Site: ExpertSexChange.net (Schedule reassignment surgery?)

  3. ATX does EIC correctly if all inputs are done correctly. There have been many times ATX did not allow EIC that the reason was not obvious. Upon further research, we found that ATX was correct.

  5. Late filing penalties are based on the tax due, so if there's no tax due then there is no penalty. If her income is clearly below the filing threshold then she has nothing to worry about. However, if there are any ambiguities and there is any chance that she might owe tax in any significant, then the SOL has never started and it never will until she files. Any chance she needed to file a FBAR?

  7. Fabulous news!! http://www.redmassgroup.com/diary/18231/free-at-last-free-at-last-thank-god-almighty-justinas-free-at-last Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty, Justina's free at last by: Rob "EaBo Clipper" Eno Tue Jun 17, 2014 at 17:11:18 PM EDT Justina Pelletiers 16 month nightmare is over. A judge, today, ordered DCF to release Justina Pelletier to har parents. The Boston Globe has the story: A Massachusetts juvenile court judge has returned custody of Connecticut teenager Justina Pelletier to her parents, effective Wednesday, according to the judge's ruling obtained by the Globe. "I find that the parties have shown by credible evidence that circumstances have changed since the adjudication on Dec. 20, 2013, that Justina is a child in need of care and protection pursuant to G.L. c. 199, 24-26.," Judge Joseph Johnston wrote in the ruling. "Effective Wednesday, June 18, 2014, this care and protection petition is dismissed and custody of Justina is returned to her parents, Lou and Linda Pelletier." The only thing that has changed is that Lou Pelletier spoke up, the judge finally saw that Tufts had a point, and her treatment by Tufts has been working. While it is great that Justina Pelletier is going home, she can't get these almost two years of her life back. Children's Hospital, DCF, and those who publicly defamed the Pelletiers need to pay for this. I am anxiously anticipating the law suits.

  9. According to the instructions for form 8879: • Do not send Form 8879 to the IRS unless requested to do so. Retain the completed Form 8879 for 3 years from the return due date or the date the IRS received the return, whichever is later. Form 8879 may be retained electronically in accordance with the recordkeeping guidelines in Rev. Proc. 97-22, which is on page 9 of Internal Revenue Bulletin 1997-13 at www.irs.gov/pub/irs-irbs/irb97-13.pdf.

  11. Being over 65 disqualifies EIC only if no qualifying children. But your client's problem is earned income. Gail's method works. But, only for a small number of years, so tell them to increase their profits!

  12. Absolutely agree with Pacun, and support all his posts on this case. Indeed, there is some level of guiltiness, but as I said, violating immigration law does not prevent someone from getting his tax affairs done. "First, limit yourself to prepare their taxes geting them the biggest refund legally possible or reducing their tax liablity as much as it is legally possible." "If you they decide to file jointly, you list her first on the return and list the husband second with his ITIN. Since he has been here in the US, you do't have to do anything special." "... to marry someone who (maybe) is looking for a green card ..." "In that case, if the both agree to file joint returns, they have to send a statement with their 1040 stating that they want the non-resident spouse wants to be treated as a U.S. resident for tax purposes ..." I start to think, that your client knows well what he "forgot" to do in 2013 and what they need to do now - they just need some help in preparing taxes.

  13. I am an Enrolled Agent and I have read it. Where is the violation that you are referring to? Copy and paste that part and I will see if you are right.
