Catherine, you said it all for those of us who wish to extend Greetings.

So many questions are rolling in. Do I know the answers? Not always. My classes are late this year and will be held on December 2 and 3. I did order "Tax Planning for Individuals" 2018 Edition from Quickfinder and it has been a tremendous help. I did consider hanging it up, but this is too much of a challenge to miss out. Also, financial security is always an issue. We purchased a rental house in July. I just want to wish all of you the best of the best of tax seasons. Also, Happy Holidays to all.

I had to call support because I was locked out of My ATX. Very nice and patient gentleman fixed it for me and I was able to download easily. You can expect a few quirks at the beginning; expecially with the triple password system.

Jack, as you know, I am not networked. Have no issues with rollovers on the laptop. The main thing is that she exports to the jump drive and I import it into my desktop. That is my preference as she is not and probably never will be able to take a return from beginning to end. Has been working well for 3 years now. Her data entry is quite precise and seldom do I have to fix anything. Again, two heads are better than one.

I have the same situation. Not networked, but one installation on my desktop and two on laptops. I used the installation code that they gave me and installed on the laptop quite easily. At first, I was locked out of my account. It has always been my preference not to network. My assistant works on the stand alone laptop; saves her work to a jump drive and I can then import her work into my desktop and finish and file it. Works great!

Obviously I have been gone too long. I will have to relearn this site.

I believe the early applications were for preparers who were going for the AFSP. I applied with no issues.

My husband and sons will be in TX that week so I get to mind the store. Also, the date is halfway between my BD on the 21st and my 58th Anniversary on the 25th. I'll be waiting for pictures.

I just had a 1040X for 2016 receive their check yesterday.

Personally, I automatically save return every few minutes to a jump drive, so that doesn't concern me so much. Then, weekly during tax season, back up entire drive to an external drive. My Guru just cleaned up my computer inside and out so I rather feel that I am ahead of the game. I think I am finished ordering supplies and the program install went smoothly. I have nothing to complain about....YET.

Actually I received those books months ago and had forgotten about them. I gave the Tax Book to my assistant to take home. I was happy to receive the all states book because I only order that once every three years or so and that has worked out well. I have not had any issues with downloading the new program and the updates are going well. So far, I have seen only improvements and have nothing to complain about......YET!

Speaking of paper. I get the BEST paper from Office Depot when they have a sale. Buy two get one, which qualifies for free shipping and it is in my office the following morning. I like the Boise 20#.

I got mine from the website on Tuesday. There is no charge this year and the priority renewals are only for a short time. Get it over with.

I have already downloaded and installed, but have spoken to my rep recently and the disk is on the way. Installation codes were sent by Email.

I have done two installs so far and everything went very smoothly. However, Win 7 Pro

Well, irregardless, I have mine downloaded and set up on two computers. I don't like seeing this kind of thing, but if I want to stay on schedule, I need to, first and foremost, have my software. In another month we will barely know up from down.

I can't remember the last time that I wore a belt.

Not at all. You renew your PTIN at irs.gov. Pretty painless except for the $50 fee.

I, also, always had difficulties with logging into E-Services.

I did write a letter to a late filer in April. It took about two weeks to get a response, but the wife finally showed up with cash. Not only did they owe the IRS, but now had late filing penalties plus interest. In the letter I explained this all to them and also told them that they were being removed from my client list. When the wife did appear, she asked to please be allowed to come back for 2016. Of course, Dummy said "yes" but it is a simple return and someone has to reap the harvest. She DID add ten dollars to the fee.

Have one who sent $3000 with his extension and hasn't shown up. Last time I called him, he said that it had completely slipped his mind. Am I calling him again? Nope!

I just stole the wording from your sign for my FB page.

Not only do I click the save button often; but I also export the return to a jump drive every time I make a major change on it. Just can't say this often enough. This also allows me to move the return to another computer if necessary to work on it. Of course, I am not networked.

Because most of them were not smart enough to write their password down in a safe place instead of on the back of an old envelope that they threw away. Just completed two more yesterday. One Gal didn't even know enough to give me the 1095A because she didn't know what it was for.

Why all these sudden problems with the 1095A. Either they didn't get them; the got it and didn't know what it was for or (this one was really something) tried to do his own return by hand and figured the PTC without having the 1095A from the Marketplace. Also, wherever that Marketplace is, they need some attention. They told one client that they mailed it five times. How come the client didn't get at least one of those five? Am going nuts right along with the rest of you.
