The Perfect Husband Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cellular phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker function and begins to Talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen. MAN: "Hello" WOMAN: "Hi Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?" MAN: "Yes." WOMAN: "I'm at the shops now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's Only $2,000. Is it OK if I buy it?" MAN: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much." WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Lexus dealership and saw the new models. I saw One I really liked." MAN: "How much?" WOMAN: "$90,000." MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options." WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing. I was just talking to Janie and Found out that the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They're Asking $980,000 for it." MAN: "Well, then go ahead and make an offer of $900,000. They'll probably Take it. If not, we can go the extra eighty-thousand if it's what you really Want." WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!" MAN: "Bye! I love you, too." The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in Astonishment, mouths wide open. He turns and asks, "Anyone know whose phone this is?"

I remember last year the deadline for e-filing 1099s was extended beyond Feb 28th. Does anyone know if that is the case again this year or do all 1099s have to be efiled by 28th? Thank you!

hey.... now there's an idea!!!!!!! ........... hhmmm :scratch_head:

This is so true! They always ask at the doctor's office why you are there, and you have to answer in front of others what's wrong and sometimes it is embarrassing. There's nothing worse than a Doctor's Receptionist who insists you tell her what is wrong with you in a room full of other patients. I know most of us have experienced this, and I love the way this old guy handled it. A 65-year-old man walked into a crowded waiting room and approached the desk. The Receptionist said, 'Yes sir, what are you seeing the Doctor for today?' 'There's something wrong with my dick', he replied. The receptionist became irritated and said, 'You shouldn't come into a crowded waiting room and say things like that. ' 'Why not, you asked me what was wrong and I told you,' he said. The Receptionist replied; 'Now you've caused some embarrassment in this room full of people. You should have said there is something wrong with your ear or something and discussed the problem further with the Doctor in private.' The man replied, 'You shouldn't ask people questions in a roomful of strangers, if the answer could embarrass anyone. The man walked out, waited several minutes, and then re-entered. The Receptionist smiled smugly and asked, 'Yes??' 'There's something wrong with my ear,' he stated. The Receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice.. 'And what is wrong with your ear, Sir?' 'I can't piss out of it,' he replied. The waiting room erupted in laughter... Mess with seniors and you're going to lose!

Did the taxpayer get the full $7500 credit. Whatever credit he received needs to be divided by 15 for his annual payback. Just an idea.

Thats quite funny after what happened here this morning. I had one of those callers yesterday afternoon. So this morning at 5:00AM when I finished his return, I called him to tell him its ready. Of course as I expected, the call went to voice mail so I politely left him a message. So, around 6:30 he calls back to see if I will be at the office around 7:00 if he stops in to pick it up. I really wanted to say NO, that I only came to the office at 5 this morning to do your return and then went back to bed. But of course I didn't. This so so much fun!!!!!!!! :spaz:

Well by golly, I've had one of those days too. My shoulder muscles are totally tight and rock hard!! Not a good thing.

Jack, I have also been having some of those problems. I can be working in a return when I get an CCH Error Message and have to shut down the program and restart. I also notice the program is a lot slower in opening files or when saving returns etc. I have had far more malfunctions this year than ever before. I too have not taken the time to call tech support yet, but at some point somthing needs to be done. Otherwise things are not going too bad this season. Totally buried with returns but thats normal. :rolleyes:

Out of about 1700 clients that I filed for 2009, she had a random list of 28 returns that I had to pull my copy for her to verify Ptins etc. She then also wanted to see the signed 8879 and compared the dates of the signatures with the date the return was efiled. She did an interview for about an hour asking a lot of basic questions about the way we interview clients etc. She also wanted a list of all the returns I filed for TY 2009. She then compared my list with her records of returns filed under my ptin and we were matching within a couple returns and she said thats within acceptable limits for her. The 28 files she reviewed were all in compliance and she stated that it looks like I'm following proper procedures and told me to have a good day. She did not even look at income or tax etc. It was all about the preparer etc. It really was not that bad of a deal at all. She actually had some good IRS war stories and also gave some heplful hints and ideas.

Well... I just had that inspection done yesterday here at my office. Very polite and cordial IRS agent showed up at around 9:00 AM and was here till about 1:30 PM. The result: "Keep doing what your doing"!!!! (and I didn't even get a frikkin prize)

I update every day. And I also don't believe that this is one that is a form that can not be filed before Feb 14th. Clueless!!

On the return: 1040 Line 52: $501 5695 Line 11 = $0.00 Line 27 = $501 So, yes the total of those two lines matches line 52. This thing has got me stumped and the client slightly upset.

Got a couple returns with the following Error Code 0492: o o Form 1040 – When Residential Energy Credits (SEQ 0988) is significant, must equal Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit (SEQ 0175) plus Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit (SEQ 0335) of Form 5695 I can not find any information on the solution to this error. Apparently it was a problem for tax year 2009 as I found some posts regarding the same error in other forums etc. But I am unable to find a solution or a fix. Has anybody else experienced this error and might happen to have any information on what to do?

When I roll over a return from 2009 I get a new tab/form in the 2010 file. It's called the "Ohio City Table". I have not found any use for it or for what reason it is included on the return. I have looked for any boxes to uncheck or whatever is causing it to show up. Can't find nuthin. Any ideas why it's happening? Otherwise, haven't had any "major" problems so far. Thanks!

I update daily. Now I'm beginning to think it has to be a problem with my system or something. hhhmmm!!!!!!!!!!! :dunno:

Totally see the arrow first!! And.. have you noticed how hard it is to show someone where the arrow is while driving down the interstate. Some just don't get it!!
