After rebooting, try turning off your firewall and your antivirus program. See if that makes a difference. If it does you can exclude all ATX files from the scrutiny of your firewall and your antivirus [program. This has been a problem that has popped up from time to time over the last 6 years.

The IRS allows 10 days to perfect a return and 5 for an extension.

The answer depends on if you are regulated by only the IRS as an EA or other preparer, or if you are a CPA with additional requirements by the state board, or if the state of VA also has a provision regarding tax return or workpaper retention.

Also, and you may have already done this, but I would completely close of ATX even rebooting the computer, then open and see if it appears.

Just finished, 12 ptp's [6 sold], 8 rental properties, refi consolidated mortgage with 5 properties. Yahoo, just one simple return for tomorrow and about 35 to review from staff.

Same people every year, will keep me busy all weekend. Some I haven't heard from as they need constant reminders. So I get into office super early due to workload and go to bang out an email "Hey BabaLou, do you know what date it is?" "It's 10/12 and I'm running out of time" I think to myself it's Columbus Day......Holy Matrimony, it's my anniversary! Luckily wife had a 7:30 dentist appointment, never saw her. I ran out to Stop and Shop and picked up a mushy card and beautiful bouquet of red roses with the green and frilly white stuff. Sitting nicely on the table when she got home. I'm like a hero now. Still going to charge the client extra. Note: That's not the flowers on the left, could have been when I remembered last year.

I love all of you too! I always thought of this forum as a round table where love and trust always prevails, that's why I felt confident in relating the story, and the fact that Laura doesn't know my password.

We had a saying in the firehouse...."What you say and do here stays here." But it never did, too many guys got in trouble. But we're better than that, aren't we? Please say yes, I'm on a roll here, romantic dinner with expensive wine last night, now I really need to charge those clients extra.

Told my partners; they laughed out loud. Before, though, I had warned them this was NEVER to be told to clients!

Not for them, for me.

I've done it before with zero problems. I just tell clients that the IRS provides a way for us to get 5 more days, and it just adds to wizard persona.
