It' Over!!

Since 2:00 PM, finally 135 transmitted. Probably 75 rejections tomorrow, but no rush at this point!!

I read this and had the best laugh of my week!!! I guess it finally dawned on someone that April 15 was coming at the same time as last year.... :spaz:

I have 60 left to e-file. Have recreated 35 TWICE!! No program updates like the error message says... Someone is experimenting with how servers are allocated, and they chose April 11-15 to do it. More evidence of how "informed" some decision makers are.

Booger might get a clue?? Don't take it seriously, I am just getting ready to lock the doors here and turn off the phone...

Open a new file, add 4868 multiple, click the multiple tab and discover just how quickly you can print extension forms.

Why would you want to?

This discussion is just like certain of my clients that make sure I have put my fees and their union dues on Sched A. Even when those are the only deductions subject to 2% that they have. I just smile and say that I did deduct them, and they are happy.

Still missing some 2 day old acks/rejections. What is the logic in performing server maintenance on servers that house an income tax preparation software company's programs, in the middle of the morning, on April 10??? All indications from CCH have been that the problem was related to maintenance, and not repairs. Am I the only one who fails to see the logic?

I am certain I do returns for at least 2 of her siblings, and 5 of her first cousins.

I guess the person(s) scheduling server maintenance were oblivious of the date?? It did say maintenance and not repair, so it could have been done late night? I am no longer surprised by CCH's choices of actions, but continue to be dissappointed at the truly senseless timing of their actions. :dunno:

1) Accuracy of submission. No keypunch operator to transpose or put numbers on the wrong line. 2) Electronic and trackable Acknowledgement, usually within 1 or 2 days. 3) Quicker processing of the returns. 4) Many states only allow Direct Deposit with e-file. 5) Less postage, paper, toner etc. 6) Less time copying, colating, stapling, trying to get 13 pages into a #10 envelope. 7) No mistakes about where the return gets sent. 8) No doubt if the return was "sent" or not.

How many clients do you have?

Change the location of your backup to a folder on your hard drive, then copy the files in that folder to your CD.

I have never found a way around it. I belive it is an IRS requirement that a date be entered for e-filing. Paper file will allow you to use various in both boxes.

Edited by Jack from Ohio. (even though a moderator did NOT tell me to) I am not upset with ATX. I am pleased as can be with the software. I have much dislike for the way CCH has treated us, and the silly corporate decisions. The "bashing" has not been toward ATX, but toward CCH.

be sure to put that on your 2106....

Yes

Are you going to attempt to answer the questions posted in the other thread? Or do you need to ask permission??

Double Ditto to what Bulldog Tom said. There is much better "tech support" from people who frequent this board than any I have seen from the "New and Better" CCH.

Please pardon my skepticism, my three calls to tech support early in the season handled by "support personnel" that did not even know the purpose of Schedule C. (which is what I was having issues with) This resulted in being sent to two other "support personnel" in turn, and neither one of them knew what the purpose of schedule C was. I spent 108 minutes on this call and found the workaround (not the fix) on my own. You must excuse my skepticism...

I doubt the validity of this person's technical knowledge. Deleting the program by using the add/remove function has NEVER been the correct way. Your client's data is at risk if you do that. This "person" has not answered a single question with any sense of real knowledge about the program. I SMELL A HOAX OR A TROUBLEMAKER. BEWARE OF HIS RECOMMENDATIONS!!

What was the rationale for making such a drastic reorganization immediately before the start of the season?
