I understand both sides of this one. The real question is where has he been all of my life...

Boy, that toilet seat office chair would work well here some days.

Yes, and I think the client in my original post probably had an insurance agent that signed her up. She didn't even know how they signed up and was going to ask hubby. I told her that the insurance agent is getting a monthly commission, and I would not hesitate to enlist his help in getting another 1095A. I do not blame the insurance agent, but he's making money on this, and I'm not. I'm still waiting, because frankly, these people are irresponsible in the extreme. They've had nine months to take care of taxes. They could have made a baby by now. This is my first, and probably last, year with this client. If I don't fire them, they'll no doubt fire me when they see what they owe.

Why all these sudden problems with the 1095A. Either they didn't get them; the got it and didn't know what it was for or (this one was really something) tried to do his own return by hand and figured the PTC without having the 1095A from the Marketplace. Also, wherever that Marketplace is, they need some attention. They told one client that they mailed it five times. How come the client didn't get at least one of those five? Am going nuts right along with the rest of you.

just make sure none of the items are subject to 30% limitation and you are good to go. I have clients that give millions over their income [neg income due to real estate depr] and never had an issue.

An audit of charitable contributions rarely requires bank statements unless the donations are directly debited. Receipts (with the required disclaimers, of course) or cancelled checks/credit card statement if under $250 per donation.

Resist the urge to hug her!!

You shouldn't fear an audit if the rest of your return is fine and you have all the documents for the donations.

If this is the federal marketplace your client should be able to print that 1095A out himself by logging on to the site and downloading the 1095A. They are posted as messages in the mailbox there.

My late clients are even worse for me because I'm I'm the process of moving and I can't dismantle my home office and get a final moving date until I'm done with this tax season. I'd like to be out of my current house by Oct. 30. The sooner I get this done, the sooner I can start packing for real. I'm almost done with the ones where I have all the info, but then there's a stack of 'missing one or two pieces' that I've requested over & over. And it's already stRted snowing in the Sierra. Don't want to move in the %}€^ cold through the snow!

Thanks-I'll give them a shot. If ribbons are discontinued I'll junk the Canons, take the guys' hints, and start shopping for a Foxfire Solar Steamer; Tick-Tack-Dough compliant with Hush-Up capability and dual exhaust.
