As a mother and grandmother, that just makes me sick to my stomach. What sort of heartless, inhumane person denies a sick child even a brief visit with her mother on Mother's Day? If that governor is re-elected, that state is beyond redemption. Disgusting.

I'd send it in response to the letter.

And that is not your fault unless you omitted something you should have included in the return. Presumably the state sent him a request for the info.

Deo, if the income was under the limit for the child to file, no return was needed for those tears. If a return was needed, file them FOR THE CHILD. Without seeing the parent's return, can't advise how cashing it out will effect him, but, generally speaking, the account belongs to the child, and if cashed out, should generally be done by the child after they reach 18. And consider the tax benefit of NOT cashing it out all at once, as well.

And consider a one-time "set-up fee" as well as your normal bookkeeping rate, to be fair to you.

I'm guessing you meant a SEP? And when was it moved into a US bank? Once it's in a US bank he should be ok.

HRB shops are franchise businesses, so while most are honest, if the local owner is crooked, he/she will hire and promote crooked people, and we all know how easy it really is to cheat if you really want to. And plenty of clients just want a big refund, and don't care how or why it changes with a change in preparers.

this made me think of all my northern friends:

That's what I always did, and it worked not only to educate the child, but also to make the parent/client appreciate the benefit they were getting bu not having to pay for the child's return. I always stressed to the parent the need to keep the kid from messing up THEIR return.

Agree, when a huge number of the fraudulent EITC returns come from a small number of 'mills' that churn out many hundreds of returns using just a handful of addresses, and most of those get processed and paid, and only a handful of preparers go to prison, something is rotten at the IRS. And the fact that politicians are encouraging them to process the refunds fast is a real part of the problem.

A 501(c )(7) club is exempt from federal tax; however, donations to the Club are not tax-deductible. I do think the 990-N is the proper form, but perhaps the 990-T?.

YEP.

LATEST UPDATE: The teen at the center of a custody battle triggered by differing diagnoses by two Massachusetts hospitals will be transferred from the Bay State to a facility in her home state of Connecticut, according to Massachusetts officials, but her parents are not welcoming the decision. Secretary of Health and Human Services John Polanowicz said Monday the "reunification" plan calls for 15-year-old Justina Pelletier to be transferred to a facility in Thompson, Conn., as the first step in a process that could eventually return her to the custody of her parents. A judge will make the final decision to return Justina to her family. The Connecticut facility "will provide services to Justina with the ultimate goal of her returning home as soon as possible," writes John Polanowicz, secretary of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services, to Massachusetts lawmakers in a letter obtained by FoxNews.com. The announcement, however, has infuriated the girl's parents, Lou and Linda Pelletier, of West Hartford, who claim the move is "not at all meant as a step toward regaining custody" and called it "barbaric." "They’re just shipping her off to another psychiatric facility," Lou Pelletier told FoxNews.com Tuesday. "It’s disgusting." "They’re totally ignoring her physical needs," he said, citing a heart condition the girl suffers from that Pelletier claims has gone untreated since the teen was transferred to Boston Children's Hospital last year. DCF said conditions of Pelletier's return include her family attending visits at the Connecticut facility; following through with a care plan outlined by Tufts Medical Center; attending family therapy; and meeting with DCF to review her progress. Pelletier spent a year in a psychiatric ward at Boston Children's Hospital despite her family's objections and a diagnosis from Tufts Medical Center that she suffered from a mitochondrial disorder. While many facts are in dispute, one thing is clear: Justina Pelletier spent the past year in a locked psych ward, even though doctors disagree about whether her condition is psychiatric.

Cane poles worked just fine, Eric.

OK, how about a laugh to follow that useful but awful thought?

GOSYSTEM TAX RS supports those, I think. And, although I hate Intuit, check this out: http://accountants.intuit.com/tax/proseries/professional/tax-form-modules.jsp

But you should consider it, it's a beautiful place in my home state, although I don't think the 2nd pic is from there, as I seriously doubt a palm tree there? http://www.arkansasstateparks.com/lakecatherine/ You could also go hunting for diamonds while there, as the Crater of Diamonds State Park is only an hour and a half away.

Yes, even if you now use only one, you should make sure you have the capacity to go with at least three without buying anything extra.
