The tax school I was at today said that sending the closing statement with the 8453 will not be allowed. Paper file return with HUD-1. One suggestion they gave was, if the client otherwise would have a refund that they are eager for, leave out the credit, e-file, then paper file an amended later. They also said that the IRS estimates up to 72% fraud on the $7500 home purchase credits, which is why they now require the HUD-1.

Fabulous!!!

One concern I have about the S 510 (and similar) is that they aren't TWAIN compliant, and I think that means they won't work on a network. And that means that either I have to do all scanning myself, or the scanner has to hook up to Gwen's computer so she can scan for me (she's been my official scanner the last two seasons). Has anyone been successful in hooking an S 510 to a network?

One of the best!!!!

Sometimes abbreviated as TANSTAAFL (there ain't no such thing as a free lunch). About twelve years ago, I got a medal for knowing that. Three cheers for Robert Heinlein!

Thank you!! I had been clicking on the word "reply". The old format had a bigger clicking area, I think. Combine that with a fussy mouse (trackball), and the times I tried I must not have been in quite the right spot. So I thought that facility was missing.

Eric -- I've noticed one thing that I miss from the prior format. Maybe there's something I've missed, and if so please tell me! We used to be able, in the topics page, to click on the list of "replied" to see who had replied. That doesn't work anymore that I can see. It was handy when checking to see if I had replied to a particular topic (but wouldn't have been the last one and therefore listed as last reply). Sometimes I don't remember if I sent in a reply that I'd meant to send, and the quick list was faster than going though all the responses looking for myself. I'm not narcissistic enough to enjoy that. :blush:

You will, Gail!! We'll be here waiting to cheer you on, too.

Thanks, KC. Just posted a much-abbreviated version on Facebook after sending the full shebang to my girls. Neither of them can -stand- the whole Twilight series (good for them!), but they should still know.

Hope you have a VERY :bday:

I did as well; FedEx dropped it off about an hour ago. It's the standard ATX; nothing says TRX about it at all. I haven't loaded it yet and probably won't until Friday at the earliest. I have total tax office (first time for more than Max) and we'll see how it goes. Catherine

There are things in this world I really, truly, do not want to know.....

I did? Oh, wow!! I didn't even notice!! Now if I can just finally shake this miserable flu.... Doing much better but still exhausted and if I do too much (like yesterday) I end up with a nasty headache (like today).

I've been pretty happy with my Brother HL-4070CDW color laser. The toners aren't exactly cheap, but the hi-yield ones last a good long while. It's fast and prints duplex (both sides), and networks. The one t hing about it I don't like is that there isn't a long warning time between "Toner Low" and when it refuses to print any more. My other Brother machine will print for -weeks- after the "Toner Low" light comes on; this one barely a couple of days. So a spare black cartridge, especially during tax season, is good to have on hand.

WOW, Eric!! The new look is amazing. I'm sure there will be things that confuse me and hope I can figure them out without having to bug you too much. Thank you!!
