I had one of those TT printouts come in the other night. Actually, she had two years' worth. I cannot believe anyone would be lame enough to print out that many pages. And then there's the guy who didn't print out any and TT wants him to pay for a copy of his last year's return. Hogwash!!!!!

Actually, we all love you. So far I have not had the asset problem. The cold problem, yes; but we are used to and prepared for it. Pile on the blankies and stay warm. I really wanted to retire this morning and it isn't even March yet. At least, we can skip over the ACA returns for the time being and the clients can't blame us.

Your warm thoughts aren't even making it to WI. -23 yesterday. This AM +15. Go figure.

I take mine to the bank. Post Office is right next door.

I would say Yes, but I would think twice before deducting the $70,000 mtg interest paid.

Thanks!

In many, many cases, they don't get any more back by claiming the exemption.

Mine was a loan modification, clearly spelled out on the first page of the contract. If she had just brought the 1099c in last year, it would have been so much easier.

I still do student children of my clients at no charge....but they STILL go online and do it themselves and blow the exemption. I guess at 18, some of them are smarter than me.

I third it. Just had to file a 982 for that exact reason.

I think that many of us feel that way already. I know that I am having a very teary (teardrops) day today.. Just don't anybody look at me the wrong way. I just want to get in my car and go somewhere, but really have no place that I want to go. How erratic is that? I feel sorry for any one person who calls today to see if their return is done yet!!!!!

Have the same issue; with parents who will now have to paper file.

Another example would be penmanship......ie: Cursive

Hugs to Frazzled. You are always such a positive person on this board; and seeing your smiling face is such a joy. I think of you often; every time I use one of the e-file stickers that you so graciously sent me a few years ago. I am nearly out and having a gal make me some more; but I will never forget that kindness. The warm arms of this community are holding you tight.

Only my roots are gray, so my seepage must be slow!

Actually the company is 3M. I had a client from MN who passed away year before last at a very young age. However, he had worked at 3M and one year for Christmas he brought me a black tote full of post-its of all different sizes as well as sign-here and several other labels in dispensers. Wow, Jack, maybe I should be using more of that stuff. But, I am like rfassett and I need notes to tell me where my notes are. I have two bins full of undone returns in alphabetical order; now they are just landing on the floor in NO order as they come in. Life is Good!!!!!!

I absolutely hate that. I actually got four returns finished up today that were laying here waiting for information. At this point, I couldn't always remember what piece of information I was waiting for.

Absolutely!!!!! High traffic volume. So far I have only had one person call to see if their taxes were done. As it turned out, he may have had a right to call because he just dropped them off and never got put into the schedule.

Or a 1099 Miscellaneous input screen........or an automobile mileage screen.......

The lady who set up "my" PIA trust passed away on Jan 8, 2015. When is the final return due? 2015 or 2016?

Mine was yesterday! Wow! Never got out of this chair or room from 7:30 AM until 7:30 PM. My last client left at 7:30 PM; I had not eaten. Ran to the kitchen and truly gobbled down a bowl of mac and cheese as well as a can of beer. The phone had rung steadily through the lunch hour. What is WRONG with people? Today was much better. Finished the one return that I had started yesterday morning. It is filed, picked up and paid for. Have finished two more since. Boy, are we on a roll here. Now, if the cosmetologist who is trying to renew her license online would quit calling me for numbers, I might get another one done before my 5:30 appt. (new client) I also filed a WI online appeal this afternoon. Tomorrow will probably be a different story.

Same here. I am lucky to complete one to three returns a day. Am having my girl start to come in an extra day now.

Yes, isn't that the truth. However, I have very few clients who even Gross $100,000; but know exactly what you are saying.

I had three delinquents and a current last year, all from the same person. I got a retainer up front for half and DID charge more than I normally would have, but I didn't think of it as charging more for a delinquent return. The IRS would have prepared his SE returns from the transcripts otherwise and I was able to save him several thousand dollars. Since we were already working with an agent, I guess I figured if I didn't get the second half, I would still be OK. However, client was pleased with the results and paid up. What I was charging extra for was the unnecessary waste of my time, especially when he turned out to have two years when he didn't even owe.
