ljwalters Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 My step son just passed at age 46 of congestive heart failure. That makes 3 family members since January and 4 counting my dad last June. And my mom is still with me recovering from CHF herself. I need some help. Any preparer using ATX in my area, Morgan Hill CA that has time to do a few returns. I am just trying to hold on the my small business and get through this season.

Richcpaman Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 LJ: My deepest sympathies as well. That is a real burden to carry. What do you need assistance with? Review? Input? Assembly? If you need input help, if your are scanning backup info into PDF, you could send a copy of that plus last years ATX file and tax returns, an then one of us could input that info and return a completed tax return via export to you. Just negotiate the fee... per return, etc. Review? Sorta the same thing. Assembly, well, we have to be in the office for that Think it thru. Some one can help.

kcjenkins Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'm in CA, but not all that close, Modesto area. As Rich says, I could help with input and with review, using email. Just PM me if you want my help. I've been there, myself, after Don's stroke, so I understand too well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joanmcq Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 KC, you're in Modesto now? I'm in Sacramento. I can work remotely. I'm booked to the gills, but my assistant does a lot of my input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomnFinancial Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Sorry about your loss... Ran the TC Marathon this past fall after raising $2,500+ for the American Heart Association in honor of my two grandfathers and the family chiropractor who all passed because of heart issues. I will run it again for the same honor as I know this terrible disease will affect me again one way or another. Again sorry about your loss.

Lion EA Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'm so sorry. That makes for a stressful tax season. I don't use ATX. But lots of people here are coming to your rescue. Do take Tom or someone up on an offer to help. I'm sure you'll be able to negotiate a price that makes it worth Tom's/Patty's or someone's time and worth it to you to preserve your clients while you deal with family and heal yourself. It'll be a worry off your shoulders. Take good care of yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Joan, as you know, Don died last year, and then I had cancer surgery, so I decided to move out here where my boys are. One son in Pleasanton, and two here. A good decision all around. I'd love to meet you sometime, Joan, after the season, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know if you set foot in her office, she is going to put you to work. You are getting lazy in your retirement. Tom Hollister, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcjenkins Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Hey I will be in the Sacramento/Elk Grove area in June. We ought to have a foursome. Sounds like a great idea. Should be a fivesome tho, Joan, Me, you, Tom and Patty. Lets try to set it up then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Hey, also, even if you never read the Politics forum, check out Cat's latest thread, "Not satisfied with illegal investigations", it's almost unbelievable, yet true. And a scary thing for an agency with so much power and the access to EVERYONE'S data that the IRS has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanmcq Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Hey, KC, I bet you are really loving our CA 'winter' this year! I have a new client that literally just relocated from PA two weeks ago. He and his wife are ecstatic about leaving the snow and below zero temps behind.

kcjenkins Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 I'm still waiting for Winter to get here. Wore my new coat only once so far, and did not really need it then. Usually did not get snow but once or twice a year "back home" in AR, and only a few inches at a time, but this year they set new records for number of snow days.

joanmcq Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I think it came & went already. There were some really cold nights in December. But don't blink too fast or you'll miss spring too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
