I'm not sure about that, because I still got a DCN and not a submission id. I read on another thread that it's next year.

I heard next year all software will have to be 100% MeF. It seems all the software that was 100% MeF this year are the ones with are the problems. I switched to onedesk but they are not 100% MeF so I’m worried about using them next year. So what is everyone’s plans for next year I know I won't buy early like I did with TRX.

OK, I’m certain I know the answer to this but it’s late in the season and I am tired as heck. So I have a guy that like to trade, a lot. I guess the cute Scottrade baby add works. Anyway he has dozens and dozens of trades. Do I really need to record each and every transaction, can’t I combined them somehow ?

I don't believe it but I got a check today..

Yep, I have them come pick up the return, singe the e-file authorization and give me a check all at the same time. No money no return

Last time I called I was on hold for 1/2 hour before I got disconected

So I just got a voice mail, a client just sent out a check for their tax payment, but we put in a direct debit, and the money has been taken out of the account. What is the best way to handle this?

You're like me I have a soft heart. I had A WWII Vet the other day, SS and Pension. Didn't charge anything.

That is just nuts!!!

　 How to report. "If you had a casualty or theft that involved property used in your rental activ-ity, figure the net gain or loss in Section B of Form 4684, Casualties and Thefts. Follow the Instructions for Form 4684 for where to carry your net gain or loss."

$260 H&R Block probably would have charged $900

Just as bad as cheapskates, are the clients that drop off/Pickup their stuff and then take up an hour or so of your time asking questions that have nothing to do with their current tax return.

Hawaii has a BIG income tax. I found that one guy was adding back a property tax rebate check to taxable income even though they didn't itemize the year before.

I know what you mean, there is this great Itailn place the food is AWSOME and it's byo. Never need to call for a reservation

We should get the word out of the name changes so people don't get fooled

Yep. $527 and I bet it took no longer the 1/2 - 1 hour to do. The $207 return took maybe 25 minutes. Don't get why people go back year after year

lol comparing H&R Block to a car dealer, more like Used car dealer

So far this year I picked up 5 of HRB customers. The prices I see on some of them boggle my mind. $207 for a 1040 with two W2”s, unemployment and $129 in interest. So for fun I called to see what they would charge for a 1041 (I’m doing one now) Called three offices and they all refered me to another office because the didn't do 1041 Then I called one office to find out about a return with a Sch.E rental property, 1009DIV and 1099B I was told they don’t price that way; they enter all the information into the computer and the computer generates the price based on the information they had to enter. Then I was told I could come in have them do the return and if I didn’t like the price I didn’t have to have it done by them I could leave. Lol So I spend who knows how much of my time then if I don’t like the price I go someplace else and spend who knows how much of my time again. Yet the make millions every year. The power of advertising.

2012 is Nothing like 2010 or 2011. I had to dump it and get a refund because they did not have NJ ready and had an estimted date of 2/28

Not one problem either. I did have to call the other day, call went to voice mail, I got a call back in 20 minutes. The prob;em was with me not the program

Pg 9 of pub. 527 list the fence as 15 yr under GDS and 20 under ADS. I would think the deck would be concidered an inprovement and structual componante and would have to use 27.5 years

A lot of this talk is mute for now since the current administration has his eye on capital gains and want to tax the heck out of them, who knows what the rates will be next year, it may make little or no difference

How can it be a capital gain if she never invested any of her capital. The rent she paid was rent not a capital investment.
