Just release them from hold and send them. I never hold state efiles this late in the game.

Don't worry Colfax, some of us don't have lives and hang out here year round. And we have extensions etc...and a lot of the really fun returns are extended. Plus we have to come here to find out how Mel's software is coming along! Not to mention what JB is having for lunch.

My limit this year was March 31. At least two new clients took one look at my fried self last week and said extensions are no problem! besides we are leaving on vacation/going on a business trip/(or in the case of my ex-husband, getting married to a Thai girl I met on vacation last month) and won't be back til the 17th/18th/after the wedding.

I finally got into My ATX and all the efiles are showing up as transmitted to IRS; there's just no acks back . I think I'll take my laptop to work so I can check these throughout the day. Or find out where the late post office is open.

if its by client, are the extensions counting as clients, and then the return won't be charged? I got Max just because I knew with fed and state & 1099s I'd be over 100.

I've got extensions in the validated stage and they (except for one) were transmitted SUNDAY! I am one of the unlucky ones transmitting to fresno. so do I go to work today and hope they went thru or print out and mail paper ones? The sunday ones were all people that always go on extension.

dunno; I can't get into my atx and so mine that are stuck in validated...do I print them out and paper file if not validated by morning? The damn things seem to be taking 2 days to get accepted. Last year you at least would get a 'transmitted to agency' which let you know they had been sent at least.

I had one one year that kept rejecting. I had a copy of her SS card, but couldn't get the damn thing efiled. Was a last minute, get in here, here are the post offices open late kind of thing. no last minute efiles for me anymore, at least not with new clients (or new efiles)

Yeah, just experienced that with a last minute extension. going to print up paper ones and file them if I can't get them in the queue tonight. In Caribou there were enough servers!

Hondas and Toyotas and Mercedes are made in the US and Fords are made in Mexico. So spend it at your local farmer's market; that way you know its going for local endevors.

two missing clients called in and they are printing out 4868s and 3519s and sending them out themselves. The last one called in and is going to try to collect from a client so she can make a payment, so that one will go out tomorrow. Doing yardwork. Its so nice to be physically exhausted by good old fashioned labor rather than from mental work and stress. The cut grass is making me itch though.

If I send a PDF of one that isn't finalized, I make sure to send the client copy with the big watermark printed all over it. Good use for the watermark!

Last time I called the FTB wanting to know about a notice I had responded to , the guy that answered the phone asked if it had 'been 9 months yet' because that's how far behind they were. Best, as in the cases where the IRS sends out money when they shouldn't is to not cash the check and then send it back if the notice comes. That way no interest and penalties.

The dependent claimed by another happens all the time with divorced spouses. The parents return will be processed but both of them will receive a letter with a 1040x later on requesting that one return be amended. If an amended return is already filed, it should be ok. Just dont' send them in the same envelope; heck I don't think amended returns necessarily even go to the same service center. Just file the darn thing; it won't be rejected.

Client is professor and has a little bit of royalty income from textbooks. As writer, I put it on sch C-ez, but when filing extensions I ran into the form for the unincorporated biz tax. The income is about $800 bucks. Is there a filing requirement for this little bit of income on a C? since he is way over the SS threshold, for $20 or so in SE tax I'm tempted to just put it on line 21 or as royalties if there is a problem . I'm sure he doesn't have a biz license either, and I'm not sure if the C-ez would trigger anything.

The ones I filed thursday just got accepted. I hope the rest of em go soon. I'm still preparing extensions like a madwoman...

Ok, I have an RDP situation. For federal purposes, one partner is done and filed. The other partner had a big mess with COD income that had to be extensively researched and so at this point he is on extension. Getting refunds. The CA return will be filed joint, and CA offers an automatic extension if the federal one is granted. So....does the 4868 filed for partner 2 cover partner 1 since a joint return will be filed in CA?

do you have 5329s for both of them?

me too. are you filing to fresno? someone said they were all backed up.

Don't file in same envelope; the return on the top will get processed and the other one will be stapled behind it and lost. NEVER file two returns in the same envelope. Just file both; the parents will get processed and her X will get processed and then no one will get a letter saying requesting one of them be amended, because it already will be.

Mine probably go to fresno; I'm in CA. Thank you. Any indication when they might go thru? Is it ATX or Fresno? Are the transmitted to Fresno, or fresno can't take them in?

I've gotten acks for returns, but not for 4868s. filed thursday.

8819? and SS-8

I had it written on my packing slip. Unfortunatly its buried somewhere on my desk I guess. I thought I had it in my business reciept file but its not there. I'm especially wondering about the 4868s I efiled and haven't gotten acks for, and drain times etc. Just a LITTLE bit stressed this morning.

Can we have a thread to keep those of us that are unable to access important info posted there? I just don't have time to go through and try to find my freakin' password, and I'm guess in the phones arent' open.
