Happy New Year "Live long and prosper!"

The form does allow you to fill out the questions that you can easily get from the tax return, save the "draft" version, and then go back and fill in the information that was not readily available from the return (or at least it did the last time I completed one.) I don't usually do a pencil copy, but instead fill out what information I have, print a copy and let the client fill in the rest. I will help them with it if they don't understand what is being asked, but I don't generally have information on their bank balances, etc. in doing their personal return.

If it is a continuing thing, I don't have a lot of sympathy either but we had a client that had to sell his family farm to pay for the round-the-clock help he needed to be able to stay at home. This one time event caused his medicare premiums to jump, and he really couldn't afford it - he need the money to pay the sitters. But the law is the law - nothing could be done.

If you copy and paste the entire link, it will work. For whatever reason, the "id=98368,00.html" portion is not being included as part of the hyperlink.

I hesitate to get involved in this, but the original owner (the lease company) originally used this vehicle as property available for lease to the taxpayer in question. So despite your quote of the code, I am not sure of the definition of original use.

I always suspected I wasn't charging enough.

I only change the name so that I can see what year it is. However, I also have a folder on my desktop for "Prior Year Tax Programs" and I put the shortcuts for previous years into that folder.
