The juvenile court judge in the long-running Justina Pelletier custody case delayed issuing a ruling Friday on a motion to return the teenager to her Connecticut home. A lawyer for the girl’s parents and a spokeswoman for the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families, which has had legal custody of Pelletier for more than a year, said the judge sent word that he will instead notify the parties of his decision by the end of the day on Tuesday. Judge Joseph Johnston had pledged during a hearing Monday to rule by the end of the week, and there was no explanation provided for the new delay. The motion, presented by the 15-year-old’s court-appointed lawyer and the lawyers for her parents, Linda and Lou Pelletier of West Hartford, Conn., calls for the parents to be awarded “conditional custody” of their 15-year-old daughter. Johnston would be able to revoke the parents’ custody if they violate the terms of the agreement, which includes ensuring that Justina receives proper medical care and schooling. Meanwhile her older sister Jennifer is pleading with friends and campaigners to do all they can to support Justina. Devastated by the delays in getting medication for her sister, she tweeted Friday that armed guards sit in on visits while she is with Justina and that she is increasingly worried about her condition. All this while, IN THE SAME STATE, accused terrorist Tsarnev (from the Marathon bombing last year) gets *unlimited* medical care, MULTIPLE visits per week -- unsupervised -- with family and friends, and multiple phone calls. Justina Pelletier would have BETTER TREATMENT FROM MASSACHUSETTS AS AN ACCUSED TERRORIST. Or any other kind of convicted, violent felon. It is disgusting how these innocent people are being treated by this judge and by the state. I hope every Massachusetts voter raises hell over this, letters to Editors, letters to government officials, discussions at church groups, social clubs and such. This gets more outrageous every day it continues.

That is exactly why you do NOT include the ones already done.

The calendar explains that!

Ugh! That's a pain.

Hard to believe it's wise to take that much out of your retirement account, to buy a house your lender does not think you can afford.

And clearly, IRS already knows about this preparer, no need to do a thing about it.

Look at the K-1 in a 1065 return, and look at the tabs, for one labeled Codes. Print out that page, because it's really useful, it will tell you where each item goes on the return

They are just doing what they always do, trying to make the preparers life more interesting.

Don't feel bad, we've all done that sort of thing sometime.

Are you adding it to the child's return or the parent's? Sounds like you are adding it to the parent's, instead of where it belongs.

Not yours, the one Yardley was talking about, Marilyn.

If it was "a school trip" and she got any sort of credit for it in a class, then it should count as an education expense. Ask more details of the "how it relates to her classes".

Plus, once they do something, they want to defend why it was either 1) the right thing to do, or 2) it did not really matter.

Yes, the software companies work with IRS on how forms should present, so if a zero disappears, it's normally how IRS wants it done.

What line are you trying to put it on?

I'm with Tom on this one. Only thing I have a question about is, on the inventory items, is his number his cost or his sale value?

I like the cover sheet to be clean, as a privacy issue. I put the tax summary sheet next, but I don't think its good to have so much personal data exposed on the cover sheet.

Well, that's a whole different thing. I would not want them as clients either, nor would I buy that they were not making a profit, either.

Q. What does the Lone Ranger say when he takes out the garbage? A. "To the dump, to the dump, to the dump dump dump." Q. Why do sea-gulls fly over the sea? A. Because if they flew over the bay they would be bagels! Q. Did you hear about the calendar thief? A. He got 12 months; they say his days are numbered Q. What kind of shorts do clouds wear? A. Thunderwear Q. Did you hear about the vampire bicycle that went round biting people's arms off? A. It was a vicious cycle.

You did not raise it enough! You still don't let them take a bogus deduction, you just confuse them with complex BS filled with lots of tax terms they don't recognize, etc. You can let them give you those 'party expenses', they just never get to the return.

I agree with Lion, I'd show it just to avoid a later CP2000. Sometimes IRS gets these right, sometimes they do not, and just react to the Form 3921.

That is so true. Think it through. The preparer who knows the least takes the longest, as he has to stop and read the form, maybe go to the instructions, etc, while the knowledgeable and experienced preparer spees through the same form, knowing what form to use, which line to use, etc. Should the slow newbie get more, because he took longer?

Sounds like two different issues. One, the defaulted 'loan'. Whether it's a true loan and not a gift is the real question. If it was, then yes, he can send a 1099 C for the write-off. Two, his loan from the corp. Is he going to repay that? Was it properly set up as a loan, with a stated interest rate? If he does not plan to repay the corp, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER HIS 'FRIEND' REPAYS HIM, then it's not a loan, it's either 'compensation' = put on W-2, or its a taxable distribution.

OH YES.
