I already sent the snail mail version, but I do appreciate the information. If I am with ATX next year, I am sure it will be useful. Tom

OK, I have one client that I am putting on Extention. I was going to try to e-file it, but I could not get the signature, so I mailed it. Could someone walk me through the process of e-filing an extention without the client to sign the form? And since I use Practitioner Pin for all my returns, how do I go about removing the pin? Any help appreciated. Tom Lodi, CA

I am sure I don't know what you are talking about. Was that ancient history or something? I was really bummed that I did not get to go to that game. Dispite the outcome, it would have been a trip of a lifetime. And of course, hope springs eternal in Bulldog land. We get a Big12 team in Bulldog Stadium this year (Kansas State). And in two months, my oldest son (age 13, 6'1", 200lb, nose tackle) will be going to the Fresno State football camp. Hopefully he will catch coach Hill's attention and get on his recruiting list in a couple of years. Since he was 7, it was his dream to play for Coach Hill. What will your kitty cats do with all the talent they are losing (Russel, Bowe, Landry)? Might be a re-building year in the Bayou? Tom Lodi, CA

Cathy, Here Kitty Kitty? Bring it on. Tom

OK, it took a while, but now I think I have my "Avatar". It is funny that I never knew what an "Avatar" was, even though my 11 year old watches the cartoon "Avatar - the last airbender" every single day. Thanks for the help. Tom Lodi, CA

I added a picture to my profile. I am just checking to see when it shows up. Tom Lodi, CA

Where are you seeing the prices for next year. I went to the catalog and it is the same price as last year for MAX ($1,065). I have a feeling that is not the 2007 price. Or is it? I got the e-mail but it does not have a price, just a 10% discount for ordering early. I am not inclined to order early, because I don't know what is going to be there when tax season comes along. I guess I am just pessimistic (sp?). I am going to be looking at Drake. They are going to have a booth at the CSEA Super Seminar in Reno, so I will check it out there. If I don't like it, I still have time to get ATX's discount. It is a shame that ATX was purchased by CCH, because this was the most flawless year they had. No real e-file screw ups (remember 3 years ago?) and all my CA forms were timely. I was looking forward to many more years with ATX, because they really got it right this year. Oh well, we will see what the future holds, but I don't have high hopes for a long relationship with ATX. Tom Lodi, CA

Eli, I am real glad to see you got here. Too bad you are not up to your eyeballs in tax returns. Tom Lodi, CA

:unsure: I am looking for the tax court petition forms in ATX. I can get them online directly from the Tax Court Website, but I would rather have them as part of the client file in ATX. Not having any luck. Does ATX software include the tax court petition. BTW, the client is divorced. Ex claimed the kids in 2005, but lived with her all year. He filed first, she got a notice of deficiency because she did nothing when the IRS notice of redetermination arrived. It came to me at this late stage, so I am helping her file the petition, knowing that we will get diverted to appeals for resolution. But I still need the client to file the petition to protect her rights. Tom Lodi, CA
