Jack from Ohio Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) With so much diversity in State taxes, it would be helpful if everyone told what state they live in. That way, we can direct questions about a particular state tax problem to the professionals that live there. Of course, I am from Ohio. GO BUCS!!! EDIT by Eric: I hope Jack doesn't mine me using his post to get the word out I've removed the "Location" profile field and put in place one for "State" which is a drop-down where you have to choose a state abbreviation. It is a required profile field and must be filled in for new member registrations. Making it a drop-down field instead of a free text box will make it much easier (and more reliable) to search in the Member profiles. Please click here to edit your profile information. Select your state near the bottom of the page. Edited December 15, 2013 by Eric Added informatoin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelmars Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 saying where you are here doesn't help since we won't remember, pls put it in your bio's so we can look where you are before we answer a question. Been asking for this since day 1. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jklcpa Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 John, that might be a good idea. The general search function doesn't include details included in user names or signature lines, but it is possible to apply a filter when searching specifically within the member list. For example, I could filter for members only having "NC" in the name and I would find you and some other NC preparers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 No you wouldn't, Judy. Because you can not search for any word less than 4 letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 KC, the search does work with less than 4 letters in the member section. Here's how: Click on "Members" just below the forum title. That opens a box that has a button at the righthand side "More Search Options" that brings up a more detailed box where filters can be applied. I can choose to search for a member whose name contains , for example "NC" or "CPA". From the filter dropdown, choose "contains" and enter "CPA" and then scroll to the bottom of that page and click "Apply Filters". This filtering does work with less than 4 letters. Try it and see. Of course, searching for something like "OH" would also bring up anyone that had that in their name, like "Johnson" for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Opps, missed that "within the member list". qualifier. I still wish everyone would put at least their state in their profile. AR, for example, is in thousands of everyday words. So are many, many of the state abbreviations letter combinations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Does this help? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Yes. Or you might, if you practice in an area where you are very familiar with two or more states, put something like :"Name - AR & MO" or "Name - NY & NJ" etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail in Virginia Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Okay, I changed my display name to show my state and took if off the signature line. But KC, I am curious -my name is grayed. How did you get yours so dark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NECPA in NEBRASKA Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Lion, is that you in the picture? My son just started flying skydivers locally. It's getting too snowy now, but last weekend, he had a bunch of naked ones for their 100th jump and then a guy in a tux for his 500th. He really enjoys it.
