Congratulations on building a successful practice and entering into a positive exit strategy that will take care of your clients and employees. Best wishes as you enter the next chapter!

The e-file shutdown will begin on 11/17 to allow for annual maintenance and reprogramming for the upcoming 2019 season.

I saw a fully functional backhoe.....

.... and she will HUG YOU.

Access has been restored. In the list of failed logins, there were 3 attempts within 12 minutes. They do now have another requirement which I had forgotten. One is texted a 6 digit code that must be entered. And, of course, I had to agree to the new terms of service. But I got back in. Scary!

Capital gain income is not automatically distributed so the estate pays the tax on that. Main exception is final return, when everything passes out.

ELI financial

you are so smart! see - I knew you all would come thru =- just what I needed - go back and look! nasty gram from him this am!!! and then when I said I am not dealing from you today - my mom is having surgery and you cannot even tell me the 2 prices of the semis the deceased bought - how do you expect me to finish this! He wrote back and said what do you need? - not like i haven't asked 10x and signed a smiley face!!!

I have already added the questions regarding cryptocurrency to the tax organizer. I generally try to send them out after Christmas. Due to the postal rate increase scheduled for 1/27/19 I plan to mail them prior to that date.

Wow, is right. Retirement looks better every day!

@BulldogTom I do feel for you. One of the hardest things I had to learn - and I have to keep RE-learning it every couple of years, is that I can not allow myself to care more about my clients' finances and tax situations than they care themselves. We know how to fix it - if only they will listen! Their lives could be so much better! But many if not most if not all will not listen. So instead, concentrate on "Let not your hearts be troubled." Note that at some level we allow ourselves to get all worked up; stop it. (Lecturing myself at least as much, maybe more, than you.) You did your best; the client screwed up and it's not your fault. Do not let your heart be troubled. And charge him a big fat fee - up front - if you take on trying to get even some of the mess fixed. Plus hugs to you. Not Rita hugs! Sympathy hugs.

Congrats Abby!!! I vote for the wine bar.

Eh? Try again, laddie!

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?!

I liked the music too but every time I was getting in to the music they would interrupt to tell me my call was important and that if I hung up and called back it would increase my wait time. I knew that.

I certainly would not like it. I find your posts extremely valuable.

If I knew someone had you blocked, I'd enter a new post quoting you word-for-word and then add at the end "(at least that's what Judy said on this subject)". Just for fun...
