Lion EA

FIngerprints were not needed for EAs when I got my EFIN very late in 2007. I was waiting until the last minute (well, 45 days before mid-January e-filing opened) for reasons I won't put in print. However, I received my EFIN in something like 12 days or something surprisingly short. Don't expect less than 45 days, though, and get started now.

I'd amend whichever is to be the primary, let's say husband for talking purposes. Use husband's original numbers. Then make all the changes to correct the returns, filing status, revising his Sch C, adding wife's numbers, etc. I'd use broad explanations: combining two self-prepared MFS returns into MFJ, correcting Sch C, etc. Since it was self-prepared and not in your system, I'd prepare the MFJ return the way it should be, then call up the 1040X and use the husband's original information with your preparation as the amended information.

And, whether you believe in nature or nurture, Catherine is to be congratulated on raising a great daughter worthy of bragging on!

Tom, I know UConn has been trying to recruit from farther away, outside New England, so should notice talent in CA. I don't know Coach Edsell; our daughter was in the marching band so we watched football. FedEx a letter from your son with a CD and include links to his site about every three weeks to show his interest in UConn's program. Alternate between Coach Edsell and the coach(es) for the positions your son can play. Schools do notice how many times a potential student contacts them (not parents, though!). They're a young team and only about six years in the Big East as it is now. This is not a good year for them; that might help players trying to get recruited. But, they built some amazing facilities with donated money recently to get to the next level. The kids really love Coach Edsell. Did you see UConn beat Notre Dame last year on national TV? And, Donald Brown going to the Colts in the first round of the NFL draft? But this fall -- not so good. Gone through too many quarterbacks! So, a persistent kid should get noticed. Good luck!

Tell him to check out the UConn Huskies under Randy Edsell. Amazing new practice facilities and beautiful campus and high graduation rate for football players.

yep, paper towels too, from the top.

Roll over the top to pull from the front. Don't want to have to reach against the wall to find the end.:huh:

If this is your year to renew, wait until the new fees have been announced to renew. If you renew now, you'll not get a refund. Look on IRS.gov or your professional organization.

Hope you had a very :bday:

Amazing outfits. I especially liked the green nail polish!

Hope you had a very :bday:

Amen.

I upload their return to my portal/email them a .pdf of their return or print out a copy for them to pick up.

No hard copy is ever required, just the appropriate list. Paper or electronic is accepted, right?

From memory, three years after we filed their last return, amendment, whatever. And, we don't have to keep returns, just a list of clients with certain information.

News: Federal Tax Day - Current, I.3, IRS to Waive Preparer Education Requirements for 2011, Shulman Announces (IR-2010-107, IRS Memo), (Oct. 27, 2010) For 2011, the IRS will waive the requirements for 15 hours of continuing education under the Service’s return-preparer initiative, IRS Commissioner Douglas H.
