Alright, so I'm sure many of you have noticed some changes. For a few brief moments, everyone had little badges next to their avatar/photo but I've disabled the feature for now. The new version of the forum software introduced a new Points/Rank/Achievement/Badge system that's more complex than the previous system that gave points/ranks entirely based on the number of posts you've created. When I get some extra time, I plan to take a closer look, so some of those badges may return later(?) If anyone specifically dislikes any of the new features, this is the place to discuss it!

The IRS just released a new draft version of Form 941 yesterday which is effective 6/21. The final version will not be available until July 12th or later, after which software providers will finalize the necessary changes.

Who are they going to blame when they owe more/smaller refund next year? Send them to the IRS's Eligibility Assistant to make their own decisions: https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/advance-child-tax-credit-eligibility-assistant And, if you're worried about blame, document your interaction with them.

The draft version was published about a month ago. The final version was published early this morning.

I'm not Lion, but I had trouble last month and had to wait for the IRS letter in the mail to complete the process. The IRS couldn't i.d. me even though: previously had e-services setup in this name and address, have lived at this address with same mortgage for 22+ years, been a CPA since early 1980s with PTIN, CAF, and ERO all in same name, and have had the same phone contract and same phone number since I got a bag phone in the late 1980s, and used the VISA credit card through AAA that I've had forever in my name, kind of like the bag phone thing. The only thing I can think of is that the phone and credit card were initially acquired in my maiden name, but have both been in my current name since the early '90s. With all of that matching, it's very frustrating that the IRS still can't i.d. me.
