OK, it took a while, but now I think I have my "Avatar". It is funny that I never knew what an "Avatar" was, even though my 11 year old watches the cartoon "Avatar - the last airbender" every single day. Thanks for the help. Tom Lodi, CA

I added a picture to my profile. I am just checking to see when it shows up. Tom Lodi, CA

Where are you seeing the prices for next year. I went to the catalog and it is the same price as last year for MAX ($1,065). I have a feeling that is not the 2007 price. Or is it? I got the e-mail but it does not have a price, just a 10% discount for ordering early. I am not inclined to order early, because I don't know what is going to be there when tax season comes along. I guess I am just pessimistic (sp?). I am going to be looking at Drake. They are going to have a booth at the CSEA Super Seminar in Reno, so I will check it out there. If I don't like it, I still have time to get ATX's discount. It is a shame that ATX was purchased by CCH, because this was the most flawless year they had. No real e-file screw ups (remember 3 years ago?) and all my CA forms were timely. I was looking forward to many more years with ATX, because they really got it right this year. Oh well, we will see what the future holds, but I don't have high hopes for a long relationship with ATX. Tom Lodi, CA

Eli, I am real glad to see you got here. Too bad you are not up to your eyeballs in tax returns. Tom Lodi, CA

:unsure: I am looking for the tax court petition forms in ATX. I can get them online directly from the Tax Court Website, but I would rather have them as part of the client file in ATX. Not having any luck. Does ATX software include the tax court petition. BTW, the client is divorced. Ex claimed the kids in 2005, but lived with her all year. He filed first, she got a notice of deficiency because she did nothing when the IRS notice of redetermination arrived. It came to me at this late stage, so I am helping her file the petition, knowing that we will get diverted to appeals for resolution. But I still need the client to file the petition to protect her rights. Tom Lodi, CA
