Perhaps he has just gone to lunch or a meeting and that he will get back to you this afternoon. Let's hope!

Make it four -- Catherine in Massachusetts got the deal from Troy, as well. I started by telling him that Margaret had said he was wonderful to deal with, and after that he bent over backwards to be nice to me....

Sorry to hear of Booger's depression and how they aren't giving the same break to those who remained loyal last year. However, I had another success to report. I called and spoke with Troy, and got the 40% discount on Max for 2010. Plus, I mentioned my displeasure at them dropping the asset history function and that I might go purchase asset manager software elsewhere. So he offered me the ATX Asset Manager program also with the 40% discount. I had been planning on buying the TRX $299 package specifically for the RIA research and fixed asset manager. Now I have to wonder if I want to bother with them at all. Between the TaxBook, the online ATX research (that I can never find anything in, but it's there), and all the wonderful folks here and on some other forums, I just might not need anything else. And I can always renew the CFS online research I'd let lapse, as well. Catherine

Jainen is right in this instance. The most important thing to figure out is how YOU learn best. Then, you can look at what types of products fit that style. Gleim worked beautifully for me -- but I do best with self-study, and I also do well with computer-based testing. A classroom is the -worst- place for me to learn (had I known before college.... ) . If you learn from listening to explanations, Gleim would be tortuous for you. So start by thinking back at ways you've learned things and what worked well for you. Then go from there. Catherine

Hi folks -- Some of you may remember my posting a picture or two last year from the rifle matches we compete in towards the end of April and early May. Well, this year, to go with my spiffy purple rifle, my husband got me a shooting jacket way better than my old one (he's the best; I'm really lucky). If nothing else, I'll psych out the competition this year!

Reminds me of this one: Street Accountants

It's also true and complete so far as I know at the time. I figure it can't hurt, might help, why not? I did one extension for a client whose package of papers I got on the 14th. Haven't even opened them yet. Sometimes he owes, sometimes he doesn't; crystal ball doesn't say which this year. So I sent in an all-zeros extension. If it gets audited and rejected, at least I tried and maybe next year he'll send his papers earlier.

I got a whopping FOUR acks this morning -- all for extensions filed on Wednesday. Nothing for the earlier-than-Wednesday ones, nothing for yesterday's, nothing for the other Wednesday files. If there aren't more this afternoon, I'd best go to the EFC and see if they even GOT the others. Not what I had planned for today. Grump.

Just MARVELOUS!!! Thank you!

You'll make it through May 3rd!! One of my husband's best friends (since grade school) got HIS pilot's license on his 16th birthday. He's been a professional pilot all his life (in his late 50's now). The two of them used to fly from Los Alamos down to Santa Fe and Albuquerque just for the heck of it after school....

Yeah, I get extensions for all my MIA's. Most of 'em are folks who still haven't filed for 2008 - but I know eventually they'll show up, papers in hand and sheepish looks on face, with yet more tales of how life gets complicated. A couple may have been one-timers who don't come back, but it's not going to hurt them. Don't worry, Rita, they still love you. On the trivia side, I woke up later than usual - but it's raining here so it's darker than most mornings, plus Gwen & I didn't hurry back from the contra dance (which itself ran a little late); we spent some time chatting with folks. Finally hauled in well after 11 (by which time I've usually turned into a pumpkin and gone to sleep).

Hope your surgery goes extremely smoothly and that whatever it is meant to address is then fixed completely! Once you're feeling recovered, -please- let us know how you're doing.
