Here’s the basics on waving in my town, y’all:

That is allowed, yes. There are a lot of options on that one.

And 1 middle finger is the ex-hubby? Tom Modesto, CA

A lesson on Southern grammar. In a room of 100 folks Y'all may very well mean a part of the 100 whereas All Y'all denotes the entire bunch.

To correct a misconception. The Amish are subject to Federal and state taxation. They are exempt from Social Security and Medicare taxes if they filed the proper documentation. They do have a SSN to be used when they file their taxes. Your client should contact the builder to have them complete Form W9. If they refuse, follow the same protocol you use when any other contractor has not supplied Form W9.

I've been Mondaynauseous.

Can we get back to the difference between Y'all and All Y'all. That was a whole bunch easier on me. Thanks Tom Modesto, CA

I LOVE YOU, RITA BALDWIN... aka... you know...

Unfortunately, I am not the payroll or accounting department. They have already paid these guys. We are on clean up duty trying to issue 1099s. If only you knew what your clients were doing 8 months ago......

According to an article that I read recently, the National Average Fee for these two returns ( w/o Tax Planning ) was $273 and $ 176.

~$200-250 which includes the PA local but no planning. I know...Im low Speaking of the PA local, Im annoyed that the W2 detail page doesnt sum local wages and taxes this year

At least we all refrain from contumely!

I agree with jfreinert and would simply add that my practice is not that far geographically from yours, schirallicpa. We have always had Amish in the area and doing work for various clients of mine. We also do several Amish families tax returns. We have never had an issue getting their 1099 info (or tax information) other than the line of communication is somewhat restricted. Obviously your client found a way to contact the Amish to get the work done. He or she should be able to contact the same to get the 1099 info. Keep in mind, this is not your problem. Your client is the one that dropped the ball. As to the methods of communication to contact the Amish, we have had to call their neighbors, send them letters or even stop by their house. Today, however, a lot of them have cell phones so it is easier to contact them. Good luck!

Damn, I would not want to play scrabble or hangman with you! Although I do have the ultimate hangman word. Don't ask. I can't tell anyone until after I've used it on them in hangman. And it's only 3 letters!

I know nobody is busy, but since Form 1040 is still in draft, here's one: Church acquaintance needs 2016 return done and actually says: 1) For some reason, I couldn't get Turbo Tax to work. 2) It should be really simple. 3) The bank needs it for our refinance. 4) It's only illegal if you don't file, right? Not if you file and don't pay. That's ok, right? 5) It should be really simple.

"This Fall, Fire 'em All!!" Idiots!!

Or mundanacious

Back to the books! LOL LOL

That's hilarious!

True, plus I looked up "untenable" and feel like my IQ went up.

Am I the only one that thinks Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty every time I see SALT? Just wondered.....

I have created efiles with Sch A but have not transmitted them yet. I would assume it would not let me create the efile if Sch A was not ready.

There several users who said they were able to efile with a Schedule A late Friday ?

One of the best beers I ever had was a loganberry beer and they put some dehydrated berries in the glass, which rode the bubbles up and fell back down to the bottom, until they rehydrated. I'm easily amused!

I didn't want to say anything because my preference is not to have fruit with my beer. The orange slice on a Blue Moon freaks me out. And when in a Micro Brewery and the person next to me has an IPA with a watermelon slice or blueberries on the bottom I loose my appetite.

Raise your rates 20%. Your business will be better, you will have less stress, and you will make more money. I did that in 2014. It works.

Answer: Pay me monthly.

What a s _ _ _hole question this is. I couldn't resist...sorry.

Add to the list the dreaded, "I just have a quick question."

This is going to go down the drain just like the PTIN renewal fee, most of us do not get paid enough to put up with this
