Christian Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 As the proposed new 1040 is reportedly smaller than the usual photocopy sheet I am wondering if it will not look a bit odd to our clients. Any thoughts on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 I keep hoping ATX will let us print both half pages on one page instead of having giant white spaces on two pages. And the Schedules should print contiguously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee B Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 It will never be approved, won't fit on a postcard ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted October 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 That was my thought as well Abby. Perhaps the form will still fit the 81/2 x 11 page even though it has fewer lines. I can only imagine the effect that a page with a huge white gap followed by another with a big gap would have on clients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee B Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Perhaps we can print on perforated paper and remove the blank portion at the bottom ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail in Virginia Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Perhaps we can print it on toilet paper, and we all know what to do with that..... 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom half could be a coupon for 10% off for referring a new client. Or a free pizza. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 The bottom half could be a voter registration card, with instructions. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richcpaman Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 I don't ever print 1040-EZ, why would I ever print the "postcard"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that's all there will be for 2018 and forward. Unless someone comes to their senses and we return to the old 1040 or something similar.

So that you can wave it around and say to your client, "Now you can file your return on a postcard ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I must add that any adult who is so ill-informed that they need to be reminded/encouraged to register probably should not be voting anyhow.

Jack from Ohio Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 "Informed Voter" has become an oxymoron. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Jani Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 I told my client that my fees are going up next year due to postcard tax return. Client asked why because now I have to print more pages cost more toner to my printer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion EA Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 I vote for NO incumbents! With the possible exception of someone local who I know did a really good job. State and federal, we need new blood badly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 The problem with voting the rascals out, is we just get new rascals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail in Virginia Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 But it takes the new rascals a little time to catch on to how to be a REAL rascal. They start out as amateur rascals usually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
