The Kidd

Thanks. your a good guy and I really want to see if I am right or wrong. I will do what it takes to protect myself and firm as you stated and more. but I still am very anxious to see if this right or wrong. LOL and the said thing is this will be a waiting game and not something I'll find out next week. and I really don't want anymore of having to prove right or wrong from us. I want to learn and help others. So I am going to quit with feeling like I have to prove this to y'all. BUT.......... I am curious on how you would have handled this case. I know it is simple and etc, but there is reasons to do things imo. so here it is. Mr. John Smith is a "new" client. he receives a W2 and 1098 mortgage. He also has provided proof that his Girl friend has lived with him for all of 2013. And the Girl Friend has two children that are hers. - the childerns father lives at home with his mother and goes to school and is her dependant. The children have lived with the Mr. John Smith for the entire year of 2013. there is age under 18 years old. Mr. smith also provides over 50% for the children and his Girl friend. The children and girl friend are residents to Mr. Smith house. (providing License, insurance, mail and etc.) The girl friend made zero and has nothing to report. in 2012. Mr. john smith and the Girl friend lived together for 3 months. Mr. john smith filed single and had a w2. the girl friend tax return had no tax return. but was claimed on another guys tax return as HOH. and also had one child claimed on there. The girl friend is 26 years old. Mr. Smith is 26 years old. if you need more information, please ask. and thanks. I feel this way can help me in getting better understanding then earliers performance.

First time I saw this I was wondering if H&R block took over my ATX. I have never liked hearing that clients had to pay to covered. If it is something that is my fault (for instance the HOH I am dealing with), then I will do that for free. If it is something I did on my decision, then that is on me. but if they left out something, then I will assist them on what to do (and sometimes even send a letter for them) for free; but once they want me to represent, then there is fee to do so.

ok let me explain more in detail detail in 2012 she stayed at some random guys house for 11 months. (as far as I have been told by her, that guy meet all the criteria to claim them and hoh) while still in 2012 she met my client and moved in with him. She moved the children in with him as well. he meets everything in claiming her. and because he claims her, he then can claim the children. (she does not have to file because she had zero income.). I did just a quick search the other day and this is from turbo tax. https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/tax-tips/Family/12-Tricky-Tax-Dependent-Dilemmas/INF12074.html I could care less about turbo tax. but it states the same thing as I am. it does not say HOH, but I know what I read in the past and I also know how her tax return were done last year. I have done my homework with looking at the residence, providing proof (mailing address, license, and etc). I am not the IRS to say, "no you cannot". we prepare, we are not the say so. If I see that it cannot be done, then I do not do it. but if I feel it is right and best for the client, the yes I will do it. Lastly, I will state the exact same thing as I have stated a few times. I will gladly bump this thread when it is decided to be right or wrong. Because I am sure the Father will be fighting it. and also I am not going to go searching for laws just to prove it to y'all. even what some have provided has problems. 1. it does not say 100% it cannot happen as HOH. and 2. just cause something is said in pub *** does not mean it is the way it is. <<<<----- IRS states at times that things are open to interpretation. And in those cases you prove your case and win. I hope you understand my point of not wanting to waste a couple hours on this just to prove it to y'all. Because 1. the Father may not fight or the IRS says all is good. and 2. y'all are not the one who is going to say this is wrong and not. so no point on wasting my time. 3. It has already been submitted, there is nothing I can do. But I have considered what has been said for reasons to do this and that and etc. Lastly, I am not afraid to be wrong. it happens sometimes, if someone on here has never been wrong on simple to complicated things, then they are a liar flat out. I am not afraid to come in and say I am wrong, but I will wait until I hear from the IRS.

I have had people become my clients because they have said, "H&R/Jackson/guy next door said, they could not file me until the 15th of next month. So I am going to use yu because you can file me sooner". and I smile and say OK. So I wonder how many they saw this year on opening day vs last year on opening day.

LOL, do not think I am just going to sit back with the IRS and say, "oh I read it somewhere". I will find it and read through many things. But as far as here goes, I'm not worried about proving it to y'all ( no offense to anyone). I just know the IRS is who I deal with the fight for my client and get him his amount, and not y'all (again no offense). glad you asked that question. Because I knew she was claimed with another guy that she was with. (the girl moves around a lot with men apparently LOL). anyhow I just looked at it and it was HOH as well. the only thing that is different is they only claimed one child and the father of the child claimed the other child. the reason why he one child for each parent. is because the father filed his return first but could only find one social. (so this has been always a battle of, "I put mine in first. and then the IRS then sends letters out asking for proof from each party.). anyhow last years no one fought it. The return for the girl friend and the client I am doing now, I have never done their return before. lastly, just because it was done on the tax return in the past. Does not mean that is enough of reason for me to do it. anyhow, when I get to that bridge, I will get to that bridge. but I rather focus on getting tax returns done, then wonder/stress on something that may not even happen.

The relationship is other. The mother is claimed as well. because she does not work. Which is the reason he can claim them as long as he claims the mother. Side note: I did a search for it from the irs. But i can't find what I read. I found other sites that state it. (sadly places like turbo tax). I'm not worried about it at all. And i will bump this thread when everything hits the fan of the father trying to fight it. Therefore I'm not going to keep searching for it.

Yeah I'm still waiting on my state as well.

I'm assuming you are still connected to three internet. Do try to restart it. Some programs lose connection when the computer goes to sleep. Also have you tried to restart it. update the latest patch. The last thing is to go into properties and connection. But I'm unsure of the step by step.

thank you kea. I will now be getting this. just because this is our first year doing our business all on our own. and I know right now I probably will only have a small percentage of my client doing the same. I assume that maybe only 10-30.

from here on out you are on my ignore list.

Last year when I converted from TaxWise to ATX, there was a huge problem. I had to contact ATX for days until it was correctly fixed.

anyone ever see the walking dead? Also the pictures you look at, do not think it is traffic. it is usually abandon cars. for you conspiracy people. the walking dead is even filmed here. So some people are saying this was Illuminati. LOL

I live in Atlanta and this is what took place. Basically we had idiots of leaders. - Last week we knew the storm of 1"-3"+ was on it's way to central Georgia. for the Atlanta area it was said to be 1" or less. - The day of the snow about 11:00 the moved the warning to the Atlanta region and said we would get 1"-3". - GDOT came out and said they were not going to pour salt on the roads, until snow was actually on the roads. (STUPID). - well about 4:00 the Mayor said, "everyone get the heck out of Atlanta ASAP". there was already people leaving for the day, but now there was a rush of more people leaving and also people having to turn around. Well the road was ice and - once a few cars get stuck, then the rest of the cars get stuck. It doesn't matter what car or how awesome you are. If you get stuck behind a bad driver, you are screwed. - once all the cars were stuck. people were on the roads all night long with no help from Atlanta. - the next day, the mayor LIED to the national guard about the situation. and lucky someone else called them in saying how bad it was. and when they arrived here they freaked. - people had abandon their cars on every major interstate in and around Atlanta. - - a lot of those people slept inside pharmacy places, grocery stores, and other businesses. - - there was also over 11,000 children involved as well. The children and most people did not get home until 24+ hours later. yet still there was about a 1,000 kids and a good bit of people who were still sleeping in stores because they could not get out. Interstate 75 and 285 did not get cleared to travel on until yesterday. there is some roads that are still blocked right now. anyhow I believe we do not have the amount of equipment they say they have. Because every time snow happens you rarely rarely see them, and rarely see evidence they poured salt. Also we have been promised over and over how they won't let this happen again, but it is always worse the next time. lastly not only were 10's of thousands of vehicles abandon. but also were many people of Atlanta. it is very very sad. My brother was stuck in all this and found children who were abandon by the school bus driver. it was very heart breaking. no one knows if the driver abandon the children or something happen to him. regardless very very sad.

basic stuff or not. but you should know that everything is not a clean cut case. I have done my research and talk with the IRS to find out some things. (as I'm sure you have to do so as well) so don't take this the wrong way. but get off of my junk dude. you been on me ever since I been here day one with always trying to be-little me and bash me and report me. I'm not even saying I am better then you or been doing this longer then you. if you keep it up, I'll start just ignoring you. I'm not a child who goes around acting all high and mighty and reporting people. I'm not like that at all. So either we can be cool from here forward or you can go on the ignore list. the choice is yours? But I rather work together as friends to helping one another out. Namaste'

You never talk to the father. Disclosure or not. but that is against the firm to work with clients who are divorced, UNLESS they sign a letter saying it is OK for you to work with them both. And if you want me to work against my client, I will not. that is great way to lose a client. Also I cannot find anything that says he cannot file head of household. for further detail. I'm not going to go back and forth with here is this statement and what not. I am sure the father of the child will be fighting this and proof will have to be sent in. and then the IRS will say who is in the right. So when that day comes, would you like me to bump this thread in saying who is right or wrong?
