Do you get extra points for purple?! I bet you don't have any trouble collecting from your clients with a rifle hanging on the wall over your desk.

I think the requirement is over $10,000 in an overseas account. Read the directions to see if it's necessary to file and to see if they say anything about late filing.

Our friends at VMSUS offer Conficker virus help, also.

FAFSA rules are different than IRS rules. You will probably need the parents' information for the college, especially since the child is not eligible to claim themselves even though the parent does not claim him/her.

Why does he get a personal exemption if he's a dependent?

And, the AMT exemption for a dependent is a VERY small number compared to the exemption for all the other filing statuses.

Thank you, Joan, for sharing.

I used ATX and I evaluated ProSeries, even reserved it for 2007 but moved up to ProSystem fx. ProSeries is definitely a better program than ATX with more things, such as multi-state returns, flowing smoothly without overrides. However, ATX does offer more forms. So, you have to evaluate both on your typical clients and also on a couple of your more challenging issues, maybe AMT and credit or kiddie tax or partnership followed by the partners' personal returns or whatever you find difficult to navigate late in the season when you're tired. I though ProSeries had better diagnostics, which was a help when overworked. ATX has this board. Use the ATX 2008 demo to work on your returns on extension. Then re-do some of your typical returns from last year. You have to find what feels comfortable for you. What must you have; what are the deal breakers? What can you live without. What's your typical return. Do you suddenly need that last-minute Form 1099-MISC for a client who didn't send them out?

The IRS had an issue with Forms 94X rejecting as stated above. It has been fixed. I file via QB and was able to retransmit yesterday and received the acceptance this morning as well as a call from the Cincinnati service center saying the problem has been fixed. If all taxes paid, grace period to 10 May.

I have spell check here with FireFox.

Hey, Julie. I use FireFox and I post here without going to an IE tab...

Isn't ArkWorks part of Block's software along with TaxWorks? You can imagine how the support will trend.

I have a girlfriend who left Block a year before me who's been using Intuit's ProSeries and is very happy with it. She's even older than I am and not particularly computer savvy but really likes the tech support she gets from ProSeries. I just received my renewal package from CCH's ProSystem fx and will certainly renew.

Oh, how I miss See's chocolates! Anyway, Mostad & Christensen or M&C. I bought their $ coins since my company is Dollars & Sense, LLC. Also, bought some reminder postcards. They give away free keyboard calendars (those long narrow ones) and desk cards/fast facts. You can order as many as you want on their web site for free, until they run out. Might be a bit late for the desk cards, but the calendars are still handy. And, watch for them next year. What percentage of dark did your clients take?
