I definitely would be forced to retire. I hope that everyone remembers Eric before you spend all of your profits. Also, a special Thank You to Judy for her pristine Moderation and all of the rest of you who reach out so generously to help those of us in need. I couldn't do this without all of you.

Treat these as distributions to shareholders, unless you can convince them to repay the business.

Total price with discount; plus Tax and Processing was $2,603.32

But not unexpected or surprising.

Oops, posted too soon. I've take the discount for all the years prior but now use only 1040 package so it's only $140 or so. With back surgery Monday and moving in June, I'm not sure whether I will continue. My healing process will determine. When I used MAX for many years, it was worth it to pay early as the amount was more significant. And then one year someone posted that they got the discount in the fall after all. Maybe begging and pleading was involved - or bribery, who knows? I am passing this time. YMMV

Copied from the TIGTA Report "FY 2023, cases worked by TAS generally met its acceptance criteria and taxpayers’ issues were fully addressed. However, we found TAS case advocates did not timely contact taxpayers or their representatives in 103 (63%) of the 163 closed cases we sampled. The initial and subsequent contact delays for these cases totaled an average of 146 calendar days late." "The National Taxpayer Advocate stated that TAS case advocacy is facing three challenges: rising case volume, new staff, and outdated systems." Well, this is really discouraging
