ILLMAS Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Is anyone else going to be working on their own tax return this week? Hopefully I am not the only one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Me, too. (That whole shoemaker's children thing.) I usually do mine last. In CT we now have a 31 October deadline. But I own farmland in IL, which will honor the federal deadline but not accept e-files after 17 October. So I'm going to try to transmit mine by 17 October if at all possible. Trying to get most of the complex returns out by 17 October so I can e-file including states. Will still have a few more after 17 October that may need paper state returns. Just finished two for NC clients who were NOT in a county in Hurricane Irene's path. Have an S-corp that I don't e-file and would save until the end if I were doing his personal also, but he does his own personal and is anxious for his K-1. I might wait for the 18th to complete his, though. And, I had a woman who has an average return that we bang out in a couple of hours while she sits here; she just called for an appointment !! I tried to book her 18 October or later, but she's going to VA to care for a sick brother by then and needs it sooner, so she's coming in this Friday.

Kea Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I just got mine off Friday & it was accepted Saturday. Now I just have to wait for the last info from my last 12 on extension. But if they don't want to send me anything, I guess that's their problem -- not mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAMalody Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Mine was done in February,however, I just had a client spring a rental property on my. Jeez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanmcq Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I got mine done a week or so ago, but didn't want to file til I got the funds into my solo 401(k). So I filed friday, but haven't received acks since then. Bleh. Another pick-up in a few minutes, I have a new partnership being held up by one of the partners that 'took care of it' by filing it all on her personal Sch C. Has to tell my client or me just what all the expenses were for. So SHE won't get a late filing penalty, but my client and her wife will unless she gets to it quickly. Like really quickly.

Lion EA Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 IRS computers are down for scheduled maintenance each Columbus Day Weekend. Lousy time, I know. This explanation from CCH: The IRS will be down from 9:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, October 8, 2011, until 5:00 a.m. ET on Tuesday, October 11, 2011, (Columbus Day weekend). A routine system maintenance build and the annual power outage used by the IRS to perform critical operation and maintenance programs, to enhance building infrastructure, and to upgrade various computer systems is scheduled to occur during this time. Returns received by ProSystem after 9:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, October 8, 2011, will be sent to the IRS after the outage on Tuesday, October 11, 2011.

JohnH Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Mine is ready, but I never file until Oct 14 or 15. I like to do a last-minute review before actually sending it in, and that it best done after everybody else's return is out the door.

Mike D Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 For those of us who were affected by hurricane Irene, I believe that we have an additional 2 weeks or October 31 to file all 2010 returns? I hope that I am not missing something? Anybody? Thanks Mike Dubin CPA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Definitely Monday 31 October. The IRS is continuing e-filing through 31 October. CT and NY seem to be continuing e-filing through 31 October. IL will accept paper returns through 31 October but e-filed returns only through 17 October for CT residents like me who own IL farmland. Need any other state info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
