Bulldog looking for this years tax answers in his new books... Then he hired this, when he realized they were last years....

Pleas don't hit me in the head.....But this is my take.... Bulldog Tom is really really mad...... Illmas doesn't like books...???? Rita likes brand new words.... After reading the three posts .... the humor hit me sideways, Please don't be mad .... it is funny..

I can understand your sadness Bill. When we establish a friendship over many years, and then lose them, it almost makes our profession seem a little bit less important. Bless you.

Nov. 3, 2017 The IRS has not yet announced a date that it will begin accepting individual tax returns for the 2018 tax filing season. At the present time, the IRS is continuing to update its programming and processing systems for 2018. In addition, the IRS continues to closely monitor potential legislation that could affect the 2018 tax season, including a number of “extender” tax provisions that expired at the end of 2016 that could potentially be renewed for tax year 2017 by Congress. The IRS anticipates it will not be at a point to announce a filing season start date until later in the calendar year. The IRS will continue to work closely with the nation’s tax professionals and software community as preparations continue for the 2018 tax filing season. Speculation on the Internet that the IRS will begin accepting tax returns on Jan. 22 or after the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday in January is inaccurate and misleading; no such date has been set. https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-statement-on-2018-filing-season-start-date

To prepare for the 2018 filing season, the IRS announced that it would shut the Modernized e-File system it uses for individual income tax return e-filing on Saturday, Nov. 18, 2017 (IR-2017-183). After that date, taxpayers will have to file their 2016 individual tax returns on paper. Normally, individual taxpayers would have filed their returns by Oct. 16, 2017, if they were on extension, but this year, large numbers of taxpayers in federally declared disaster areas in Florida; Georgia; parts of Louisiana, South Carolina, and Texas; Puerto Rico; the Virgin Islands; and a number of counties in California have received filing extensions until Jan. 31, 2018. https://www.journalofaccountancy.com/news/2017/nov/2016-tax-return-filing-will-shut-down-201717790.html

WASHINGTON –– The Internal Revenue Service today reminded the nation’s more than 727,000 federal tax return preparers that they must renew their Preparer Tax Identification Numbers (PTINs) for 2018. All current PTINs will expire Dec. 31, 2017. Anyone who prepares or helps prepare any federal tax return, or claim for refund for compensation must have a valid PTIN from the IRS. The PTIN must be used as the identifying number on returns prepared. Failure to have and use a valid PTIN may result in penalties. https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/2018-ptin-renewal-period-underway-for-tax-professionals

Mad.......... Or Mad......

(CPA Practice Advisor) - All in an effort to minimize filing fraudsters, the IRS has accelerated major information form filing. And to drive home their emphasis, the IRS has drastically increased preparer penalties. http://www.cpapracticeadvisor.com/news/12375789/irs-increases-penalties-for-income-tax-preparers-in-2018

I wish you great success in restoring your lives in California. It is so sad to hear of such destruction and loss of life.

On Friday, the IRS updated its page on health care reporting requirements to inform taxpayers and tax practitioners that it will not accept electronically filed 2017 individual income tax returns unless taxpayers indicate that they and everyone on their return had health care coverage, qualified for an exemption from coverage, or will make a shared-responsibility payment (under Sec. 5000A). The IRS also said that any returns filed on paper that do not address the health coverage requirements may be suspended until the Service receives additional information, and any refund due may be delayed. https://www.journalofaccountancy.com/news/2017/oct/health-care-individual-mandate-on-2017-tax-returns-201717660.html https://www.irs.gov/tax-professionals/aca-information-center-for-tax-professionals
