  1. Here's a new scam targeting professional licensees. It is being done by telephone, and the scammer is able spoof caller i.d. to project the actual state agency to make them appear to be legitimate. In an abundance of caution, the State of DE Division of Professional Regulation sent out a mass email to all its licensees describing the scam in more detail. So far here in my state, the reported cases have all involved those licensed in the field of health care. I doubt anyone here would fall for such a call, but I'm sharing to make you all aware in case any of your clients falls victim to this and because I'm sure this isn't limited to only my small state. Here's an excerpt from the email that describes this in more detail:

  2. The 1040 e-file system will be taken off-line to perform annual system maintenance in preparation for the upcoming filing season. The last day in 2020 to e-file 2019 Federal and State Individual tax returns is Saturday, November 21, 2020. If planning to transmit on this last day, please check with your software vendor for the cutoff time for transmitting and processing returns for e-filing. Note: e-Filing for tax year 2017 individual returns ends for good on November 21, 2020. When e-filing resumes, returns will only be accepted for tax years 2018, 2019, and 2020. Taxpayers required to file during this shutdown period will have to file paper returns. The IRS has not yet released the shutdown schedule for business returns; however, an announcement with the dates and times is expected in early December.

  3. I have a really annoying problem since the last big update. I cannot use Windows Explorer to access ANY of my network storage device folders, unless they are mapped as network drives. Fortunately, I had *one* folder mapped, for quick access, and was able to copy the format using the other top-level folder names (which I was still able to see and access just FINE from my ancient W7 machine) and now I have access again. But I am not impressed. In fact... there's another network box that I rarely need to get to; I'd better look up those names and add those as drives, too. Grrr. I hate computers.

  4. Isn't it sweet of them (NOT!) to let you know they respect your privacy?

  5. One error in what I said - I should not have used Congress and reasoned in the same sentence.
