SUE A.

I HAVE MY OWN RETURN AND A CLIENTS RETURN THAT I FILED LAST WEDNESDAY THAT STILL SHOW AS VALIDATED ONLY AND NOT ACCEPTED YET. THE ONLY THING WE HAVE IN COMMON IS SCH C WITH MILEAGE. WHAT COULD BE THE HOLD UP? SUE

THE LAST TIME I HAD ONE OF THESE I WAITED UNTILL INTO MARCH TO MAKE SURE WE COULDNT GET A W2. THE RETURN WAS THEN MAILED IN. AT THAT TIME YOU COULD NOT EFILE A SUB W2. SUE

HELP! I ENTERED BANK INFO FROM LAST YEARS RETURN AND IT WAS HRB INFO FOR A RAC LOAN LAST YEAR AND NOT THE TAXPAYERS BANK. NOW WHAT. DO I JUST HAVE TO WAITE FOR THE IRS TO MAIL THE REFUND? SUE

I CREATED THE EFILE ON A RETURN WITH ED CREDIT AND RECEIVED NO MESSAGE THAT THE FORM WASNT APPROVED. IS ED CREDIT ABLE TO BE EFILED TODAY? I DIDNT NOTICE IT IN MY UPDATES. BUT SURE WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME OF THESE RETURNS DONE THAT HAVE BEEN WAITING. SUE

THATS ONE OF THE REASONS I HESITATE. IM IN A SMALL TOWN HERE AND IT WOULD PROBABLY BE SUSPICTED THAT I WAS THE ONE. ALSO FOR ALL I KNOW I MAY HAVE CURRENT CLIENTS WHO MAY BE AFFECTED BY THIS FROM AN OLD TAX RETURN. ITS MY EXPERIENCE THAT WE ALL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES OF OUR ACTIONS SOONER OR LATER. IM INCLINED TO DO MY JOB HONESTLY AND STAY OUT OF THIS ONE.

DURING A DISCUSION WITH SOME FRIENDS THE OTHER NIGHT, ONE HAD A GOOD IDEA TO MAKE SURE THE REBATE DOES WHAT ITS INTENDED TO DO. INSTEAD OF CHECKS THE IRS SHOULD SEND US ALL WALMART GIFT CARDS. I MIGHT HAVE BEEN TOO TIRED AT THE TIME BUT I THOUGHT THAT WAS HILARIOUS. SUE

YOU MAY NEED TO ADD THE FORM FROM THE FORMS LIST IF HE DIDNT HAVE IT LAST YEAR. SUE

YES I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT ASPECT TOO. A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE WHO ALSO DOES TAXES SUGGESTED I GIVE THE NUMBER FOR FRAUD TO THE CLIENT AND LET THEM REPORT IT IF THEY WANT TO. IM STILL NOT SURE WHAT I WANT TO DO YET, ALTHOUGH IM TEMPTED TO STAY OUT OF IT. SUE

THANKS ALL. I FILED THE WIFE MFS AND THAT WAS THAT. SHE BROUGHT THE HUSBANDS COPIES WITH HER AND SO IM CERTAIN THAT HE DID FILE INCORECTLY AND RECEIVED A RAL. JUST FOR GIGGLES I RAN THE FIGURES TO SEE WHAT THE REFUND WOULD BE HAD THEY FILED TOGETHER PROPERLY. HE GAINED APPROXIMATELY 35 DOLLARS. IT AMAZES ME WHAT PEOPLE WILL RISK TO GAIN SO LITTLE. ANYWAY WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN DOWN THE ROAD IF I OPEN THIS CAN OF WORMS. SO I HAVE DECIDED TO LET IT GO AS FAR AS MY INVOLVEMENT. JACKSON HEWITT EVENTUALLY GOT CAUGHT AND I WOULD IMAGINE THIS PREPARER WILL TOO. SUE

HAPPY GLOATING KAREN. LAST WEEKEND A CAR DROVE THRU THE HRB PLATE GLASS FRONT WALL . I WONDERED AT THE TIME "WAS IT DEVINE INTERVENTION?" AFTER HEARING THAT NO ONE WAS HURT, I TOO GLOATED SOME. SUE

I DONT THINK THIS WAS IGNORANCE ON HER PART AS SHE MADE SURE TO TELL THE HUSBAND TO HAVE HIS WIFE GIVE A DIFFERENT ADDRESS FROM HIS TO KEEP FROM GETTING CAUGHT. THANKS FOR THE PHONE NUMBER. ILL KEEP IT, BUT IM NOT SURE IF I WILL REPORT OR NOT AT THIS TIME. SUE. ALSO WHEN THE WIFE TALKED TO THE PREPARER AND ASKED HER WHY SHE DID THIS, THE PREPARER TOLD HER IT WAS THE BEST WAY TO GET MORE BACK AND SHE REFUSED TO FILE AN AMENDED RETURN TO CORRECT THE RETURN.

IM NOT SURE IF I WANT TO GET INVOLVED OR IF I JUST WANT TO VENT HERE. A CLIENT CALLED TODAY AND HER NEW HUSBAND WENT AND FILED WITHOUT HER. HE CLAIMED HIMSELF HOH WITH A FAKE NEPHEW. THE TAXPREPARER KNEW THIS AND ACTUALLY HELPED HIM, SHE THEN TOLD HIM TO HAVE HIS WIFE FILE HOH WITH THEIR REAL CHILD FOR EARNED INCOME. THE NEW WIFE IS VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS AND SO AM I. I WAS GOING TO REFER PEOPLE TO HER BECAUSE SHE SPEAKS SPANISH AND I DONT. IM GLAD I KNOW SHE IS CROOKED BEFOR I DID THAT. AM I REQUIRED TO REPORT HER OR SHOULD I JUST MIND MY OWN BUSINESS? I THINK I JUST WANTED TO YELL SOMEWHERE AND ITS STORMING HERE SO I CAME TO THIS BOARD. THANKS FOR LISTENING (READING) SUE

THANKYOU, I MADE A NOTE OF THE EMAIL ADDRESS AND WILL GIVE IT A TRY. I KNEW IF THERE WAS AN ANSWER THAT I WOULD FIND IT HERE IN THIS CHAT ROOM. SUE

I WOULD THINKS SO. I WOULD ADD IT TO 07 IF IT WERE ME. SUE

I DONT HAVE ALL THE FACTS HERE BUT I HAVE A CLIENT WHO WILL BE GOING TO CANADA THIS COMING SUMMER TO WORK. HE WONDERED ABOUT THE PROCEDURE FOR FILING THIS NEXT YEAR. APPARENTLY SOME OF THE EMPLOYEES WHO WENT THIS YEAR HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO FILE IN CANADA AND THE USA BECAUSE THE EMPLOYER IN CANADA TOOK WITHOLDING FROM THEIR PAY. THIS IS A TREE CUTTING SERVICE AND THE MEN ARE WORKING FOR THE US EMPLOYER SO I DONT KNOW WHY THEY ARE GETTING W2 FROM CANADA. I AM WONDERING WHAT I NEED TO KNOW FOR THIS SO I CAN ADVISE HIM OR POSSIBLY REFER HIM TO SOMEONE WITH EXPERIENCE WITH THIS. ALL HELP APPRECIATED. SUE

ITS JUST THIS SORT OF THING THAT HAS GOTTEN THE BANKS AND THE BORROWERS INTO THE TROUBLE WE HAVE TODAY WITH PEOPLE LOSING THEIR HOMES AND BANKS BEING STUCK WITH HOUSES THEY CANT SELL. I DONT KNOW IF I WOULD REPORT IT OR NOT, BUT I CERTAINLY WOULDNT GO ALONG WITH IT. I WOULD PROBABLY TURN A CLIENT LIKE THIS AWAY. IMHO. SUE

BETH, IT WORKED! YOUR A LIFE SAVER, I HOPE I CAN BE OF HELP TO YOU SOME DAY. IM GOING TO SAVE YOUR INSTRUCTIONS IN CASE THEY CAN BE USED AGAIN. APPT IS HERE SO I HAVE TO GO. SUE

THANKS BETH, I WILL TRY THAT NOW BETWEEN APPTS. ILL GET BACK ON HOW THIS WORKED. SUE

I ENTERED X:SETUP AS THE DIRECTIONS SAID AND I GET AN ERROR. I DONT RECALL WHAT THE ERROR SAID EXACTLY. IT WAS IN COMPUTOR LANGUAGE AND I DIDNT REALLY UNDERSTAND IT SO I JUST CANCELLED. IM AFRAID OF CREATING NEW PROBLEMS IF I MESS AROUND TOO MUCH WITHOUT REALLY KNOWING WHAT IM DOING. SUE

Yes i have been sending through day care exp since last week. all have been accepted. sue

THANKS GEORGE,I HAVE PRETTY MUCH ACCEPTED THAT THIS IS THE WAY ILL HAVE TO GO. THE TWO STATES I WANT I DID BY HAND LAST YEAR AND THEN USED FILL IN FORMS ON THE WEBSITES BUT THEY ARE LONG INVOLVED STATES TO DO, ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO HOW SIMPLE ILL IS. SO I REALLY WANTED TO USE MY SOFTWARE THIS YEAR TO SAVE TIME AND TO BE SURE I DIDNT MISS SOMETHING. THIS WILL BE A LESSON LEARNED FOR FUTURE YEARS AND I WILL MOST LIKELY BE LEARNING A NEW PROGRAM NEXT YEAR ANYWAY AS ATX HAS ME VERY CONCERNED THIS YEAR. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT. SUE

REINSTALLING THE PROGRAM IS A GOOD IDEA, HOWEVER WHEN I TRIED TO DO THIS NOTHING HAPPENS. WHEN I TRIED TO DO THIS THROUGH START,RUN,ETC. I GET AN ERROR AND CANT PROCEED EITHER. I AM COMPUTOR ILLITERATE THOUGH AND WAS HOPING THERE IS SOMETHING I CAN DO THAT IM NOT AWARE OF. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ANY SUGGESTIONS. SUE

I WISH IT WAS THAT EASY. BUT THE ONLY STATE I CAN OPEN IS ILL, THE FIRST STATE I INSTALLED, I PURCHASED THREE STATES BUT CHOSE TO WAITE TO INSTALL THEM AND NOW IM STUCK. THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTIONS SO FAR. HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE AN ANSWER FOR THIS. SUE

I ONLY INSTALLED ONE STATE INITIALLY. NOW I WANT TO INSTALL THE OTHER TWO. WHEN I PUT IN MY CD NOTHING HAPPENS AND WHEN I TRY THROUGH THE START BUTTON I GET AN ERROR. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ADVICE. I TRIED TO ACCESS MYATX AND COULDNT LOG IN AND I GOT FRUSTRATED WAITING ON HOLD WITH THE PHONE. I MAY JUST PURCHASE PPR BUT HATE TO NOT BE ABLE TO USE WHAT I HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR WHEN I BOUGHT MY SOFTWARE. SUE

THANKS JIM. AND YES MY HUSBAND IS NOW EMPLOYED BY LIGGETT AND PLATT WORKING AT STERLING STEEL. HE WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES.
