This could be a can of worms. Was the IL income included in the Federal income? Was the client a resident of IL or WI? I would amend because WI is really picky about these two or three returns. Or, is reciprocity involved?

Probably a lot or most of them. That seems to be the racket of choice these days. And to think that we beat ourselves up and worry over the little things; at least I do.

I am not downloading or updating anything. Because of the explosion, I was kind of forced to purchase a new laptop. I, then, purchased another to replace one office machine. I can't say that I am crazy about Win 11, but have months to learn it. My main ATX machine for creating, printing and filing returns will remain at Win 10 for this year. I am having unexpected Win 11 issues; such as printer drivers, etc. Cannot make the chip reader work properly either. This is a work in progress. Good thing I have an IT friend who knows what he is doing. It takes a lot more than just installing a new OS. I am glad now that I didn't wait until the eleventh hour because I am on vacation and can obsorb the pain much more easily. I am a Senior Citizen who tries to stay on top of tech. So said, let's see what happens going forward.

Of course, I said I would live and die with Win 10. Well, since the explosion, I have purchased two new laptops with Win 11; one, because I had to (See FYI Explosion) and the second because it was too good a deal to pass up. Once I did the deed, I didn't look back. I have happy homes for both laptops that I am replacing. That only leaves me with my WORK desktop, if and when I must. Much as we hate it, we have to move with the times and bear in mind that Win 12 Beta is already out. Once the crush is on, Win 11 computers will be at a minimum and pricy. (My thinking, anyhow). I am likely the oldest person on this board, but I don't intend to quit anytime soon.

FYI Addendum: My IT person took the computer home. He pried it open and removed the battery which had exploded. He took it outside on the concrete, plugged it in and the computer works perfectly. He was shocked that everything survived. I had already ordered a replacement and have gifted the survivor to him. Acer all the way. Sometimes a tragic event has a happy ending.

EFile says that Name and EFIN do not match their records.

I have two WI NPs that will not efile for some reason or another. Of course, efiling is required. I am at a loss as to how to fix this as I did not set up either one of them.

After 4 years in the Navy, my husband would never go on a cruise.

I was plugged into a surge protector.

6 years old but in top condition.

Thank you all for your concerns and comments. Since I am on vacation for this week, I am down to my Surface Pro 3 which has had very little use and is a little hard to get used to, though I do have the keyboard. Nevertheless, I am a little afraid to even turn it on. The laptop that blew was in perfect condition with not a lot of hours on it. There were no signs of warping, leaking or swelling. My Granddaughter tells me that her office is constantly watching for warpage of keyboards as the first sign. When I get home, I will try to send you pictures of the junk.

Just arrived at vacation home on Friday afternoon. Long awaited R and R. We were waiting for repair man for WiFi Thermostat. Had just finished unpacking and I plugged in my 17 inch laptop. We were standing about 4 feet away and heard what sounded like a shotgun blast. Turned around to find my computer and anything near it completely engulfed in two to three foot flames. My husband grabbed a towel and smothered some of the flames and out the door with it onto the lawn. The battery had exploded. I still haven't gotten over the shock. There went my 17" Win 10 Acer laptop that I loved. Just be aware to never walk away from your laptop when it is plugged in. We don't know what happened or why, but we could have lost our house if we had not been right there when it happened. I am thankful and sad at the same time. I could have been badly burned or whatever. Hot, flying plastic is imbedded in a few things. Of course, Homeowners insurance is $1000 deductible. Hardly pays to file a claim. Just want you all to be AWARE!

How time flies. However, I would like to enjoy some profit rather than invest in five computers to replace the ones that are working perfectly well. Technology is finally beginning to pass me up. I find myself unwilling to deal with it much longer. The cost of doing business is beginning to outweigh the satisfaction that I get from offering a fair and decent service.

It is an internal hardware issue. Either they figure out a workaround or a lot of people will close up shop and just continue to use their current OS for personal computing.

Who knows where we all will be by October, 2025? I have already been told that my not so old computer will not update to Win 11, so my plan is to coast for at least another year. My techie stays on top of this so I will let him worry about it. When I have to update, I might just have to retire.

I will stick with 10 as long as it is supported. My hardware is not receptive to updates to 11. I am not ready or able to invest in all new hardware; nor do I want to.

I will believe it when I see it.

I am not willing to agonize over it all Summer. No interest on money in the bank anyway. I renewed last week!

Yes. Peace of mind, if nothing else. With the cost of all supplies increasing, every dollar saved is critical.

Today I treat myself to my first ever (just because) hairdo at the salon. I might work this afternoon or I might just take a nap. Ah, sweet freedom.

Although I don't gamble, I want to be that person. Both of my parents lived into their 90s as well as my maternal Grandparents.

I will probably do the same. I have been looking at other programs and have already turned down ATX. However, due to my age, as well, I will most likely bite the bullet. Just get it over with, move on to finish the extensions and enjoy a happy summer.

My first program was a pencil and paper; second was a typewriter and a copy machine; third was Parsons and on to ATX. And away I went.

Having been a Parsons Tax Edge user and losing them to Intuit is the reason that I will never use an Intuit product. They purchased and trashed a beautifully operating program and almost put a lot of us out of business. Fortunately, I found Saber and have been with them through their entire evolution to what ATX is today. I have never had a serious issue with either Saber or ATX and due to my age, will probably stay with them until the end. The assistant that I am training is learning and loves the program as well. I, personally, am too old to make a drastic change at this point.

It will depend on how much, if any, income the student has at that time.
