I'm in on this one, too! I can only invest a little money, and no knowledge, but add lots of enthusiasm also.

My son-in-law is a programmer, and a couple of years ago when we saw what was starting to happen with ATX, I asked him about trying to put together a Linux-based tax program, but he couldn't find people with both tax and computer know-how. And I think it was a bit intimidating, trying to go up against the big guys. But we can do it.

Peggy, that's what I decided to do, especially today being the last day of the month. They're filed, and if further info is needed, it will be sent in, but it should stop late filing penalties. Thanks to everyone for your help. This will end up being a better board than the "other one"!

I was able to e-file one T/P's return with multiple states. Granted she used as 1040A and had one employer, the circus. But she had 16 state returns. Some states required a couple of attempts, just because of my ignorance. Three states we finally just paper filed because it was not worth it after the 3rd attempt. Most states she had between $900 and $400 in income for that state.

I would e-file everything, correct what needs to be corrected, and if necessary paper file whatever is left.

Is there any way to e-file multiple states - Missouri and Ohoi - so that missouri gets the ohio return for the credit paid to other states? Or is it paper file both states? I thought I have done this in the past, but it doesn't seem to want to work this time. THanks! Cathy
