frazzled

At the beginning of last week, I was up over the last two years, but not by much. By the end of the week, i was down. It was a very slow week. Hopefully, this week will be better.

Goodbye and good luck....

I was thinking about wearing this to work today. And Rita, I think this would be perfect for you too!

Maybe the taxpayer advocate office could help?

I had 18 drop offs yesterday! I couldn't believe it. I hate people today.

I discovered the do not disturb feature on my phones this year! And I plan to use it ALL day today!

He probably lied. They probably told him to contact the IRS. After repeated failed attempts, he probably gave up and decided to contact a local tax preparer for info. Cause we have time... BTW, when people call information around here, ask for H&R Block and choose to be connected, their call is sent to me! I have never been affiliated with H&R.

that's the plan Let's hope they get the wrinkles ironed out SOON!

Yes, I have already mocked up a fake 1095-A, but we decided to hold off on filing. We didn't want the IRS to be confused and cause a big processing debacle. As Janitor Bob stated, the IRS is looking and comparing - so if the marketplace doesn't have her form ready, then the IRS will not have the form, and then letters will begin flowing. My client is a basket case over this - AND she has to pay back ALL the subsidy, to the tune of nearly $2000. I found this last night: "Q8. I purchased qualifying Marketplace coverage, and advance payments of the premium tax credit were made to an insurance provider on my behalf. I have not received a Form 1095-A, Health Insurance Marketplace Statement, and have not yet filed my income tax return. Should I wait to file my return until I receive a Form 1095-A? A8. If you have not yet filed your income tax return, you should file Form 4868 (request for an automatic extension) by April 15. Then, once you receive your Form 1095-A, you should file your tax return using the information from the form. Please note that if you file a Form 4868, you have an extended time to file, but not an extension to pay any tax you owe. Form 4868 provides further information. Form 4868 is available on IRS.gov, through tax software or from a tax professional. Of course, if you receive your Form 1095-A before April 15 and are able to file using the form, you are encouraged to do so." http://www.irs.gov/Affordable-Care-Act/Individuals-and-Families/Questions-and-Answers-Incorrect-Forms-1095A-and-the-Premium-Tax-Credit

I currently have a client who has yet to receive any 1095-A from the market place. She has called numerous times, and they say a copy will be mailed. Still waiting. Last week, I had the client come in and we contacted the marketplace together. Got the same canned response from the CSR - so, I requested a supervisor. The supervisor could tell me what her premiums were, how much she paid, and the subsidy amount, BUT he stated that a 1095-A was not available for her account yet. When prodded, he admitted that the unavailable 1095-A's were a known issue. And he could not give me an estimated fix time. So, I have placed my client on extension. This ACA is a clusterf***.
