If this form is not needed on a return does it get transmitted to the IRS if left in a return? Eli

By the way it sounds it wasn't just an ATX issue. I saw a similar posting the other day from PETZ(?) Enterprises. Sounds like they had the same issue. Eli

Oh what a fun tax season.......yea right!

This was posted yesterday in the 'Official' ATX Community: We got word from the IRS that they will stop the process of communicating with the taxpayer when Form 8867 appears not complete and will start processing the refunds. The IRS started processing the 8867 inventory over the weekend and is starting to release refunds and expects to be complete by the end of this week. This was from an industry call that we participated in this afternoon. Kim Manuel VP - Customer Relations

Mine are still checked & they are still being held up. I wonder what gives?

The 4 returns with form 8863 I had pending went through & were accepted this afternoon. Now if the IRS would issue refunds for the 1st week returns that would be awesome! Eli

I did too, but this started this afternoon. Thank you again, Janitor Bob Eli

Thank you! I will check that out. Eli

Just started having rejects this afternoon. The XML data has failed schema validation... Eli

Is that something extra you have to pay for? If it's only a very few forms you file, I use efileforbusiness.com. Pretty simple to use. Eli

I've done all my updates except 12.9 from within the program. I am grateful I have not had any of the major issues others have had. I pray this continues to be the case (that i have no major problems). Eli

I installed the 12.9 & it fixed the problem with the payer manager & the drop down on the dependents field. Eli

Thank you, Marilyn Hope all is going well with you. Eli

I updated this morning from within the program, but there was no 12.9 update. It just updated 7 forms. Eli

I thought that was made available this week, but I guess not. Has anyone else tried?

Yup! Same here! Payer Manager is in shambles!

Very few of mine have received theirs. I guess that's why I keep getting called. Oh well! Eli

If I get one more of those calls I think I'm gonna quit answering my phone! aHHH!!! Eli

You can right click on your mouse on the form & it will show the version number at the bottom. Eli

Time for a day off Eli

If they have a qualifying child the age rule is not a factor. Eli

I tried to update just a few minutes ago from within the program, but only forms were updated. I tried again & it says no new updates. Does this mean I will need to try from the web? My Program Version is: 12.4.116.3 Forms Information Version: 500 Eli

Thanks, Joan! I guess i Will try it in the morning. good night! Eli

So after all was said & done, is it safer to update from within the program or off of the website? Or does it matter? My program has been working good enough & I'm afraid to try the update. Thanks! Eli
