ILLMAS

TP walked into my office reeking of booze, I smelled it as soon as I opened the door

A couple years ago I dossed off while sitting in my office chair, all I know I woke up from a deep sleep and it took me about an hour to recuperate, it took me a while to realize I was work.

It worked, thanks.

How do I report fellowship income/stipend for a whipper snapper that did not receive a W2/1099 or is not working towards a degree? Thanks

This is stuff tax accountants have to go through, horrible, just horrible.... skip to minute 3:45 and enjoy

"The "solution" is to print page the missing pages and merge them into the return. " This is going on a post it note on my monitor.

I don't have a solution, but for me, usually the federal tax letter and the invoice doesn't print, this happens 3 out of 10 print outs.

I was thinking the same thing at first, then I remember the deduction is limited/reduced by AGI and most of the times client don’t get any benefit.

PMI was extended at the last minute, some of my clients received a corrected 1098.

My daughter thinks I am Superman, but a slower pace.

Today is Good Friday

Ship happens or hits the fan

Hugs - If you don’t respect yourself, no one will.

Why isn’t ATX generating an error if the DL is not entered? I know in Proseries you cannot efile without it.

Complete 3 returns today in 9 hours.

Thank you all, the sharing of my insurance info is not going to happen, I have never asked my doctor for a copy of their malpractice insurance. So if anyone here, asks their doctor for a copy of their insurance please let us know And Happy Sunday (Palm) to all

Does anybody here outsource to India?

I said these words to four new clients this year, “I do not work for the IRS nor I’m I auditing your prior year tax nor I’m the police, however I believe your tax return was prepared incorrectly (inflated Sch A items) and either you can go back to the person that prepared it or I can amended for you. I am required by IRS rules to inform you and I cannot force you to make the correction, but you have been told.” Then they ask, now that this year is going to be correct, do you think they’ll say something about the prior years

Same here, at least once a day.

This me after completing a tax return:

No, I didn't get pulled over, I was asked by a potential client and if I can send them a copy of my insurance (E&O) because a family member of their was put in a mess by a preparer. Would you feel disrespected?

I was asked a tax question that I was not able to answer and has left me thinking, TP's asked if there was a way to get the cost basis of 1099-DIV capital gains?

Sorry Rita, I quoted the wrong post

This is what is called BS, I don’t have a large client base like others, but if I get to finalize 4 or 5 days, it was a good day. FYI I dont don’t prepare returns in front of clients and have no help at all, word.

From all my clients, I would say about 5-8% are 1 W-2 only, it's mostly my clients kids.
