joanie3444 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Have any of you received your printed 1040 Express Answers for 2012? I am thinking they are late because of all the last minute changes, but I am getting concerned. Thanks for your help. Joann Quote
lydia33 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 I got mine the week after Christmas. Quote
Tax Prep by Deb Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 I got mine the week after Christmas. Are you sure it was the Express Tax Guide and not the Master? The Express Tax Guide is spiral bound and I just received it today, however I did get the paper back Master Guide about the same time as you. Deb! Quote
Janitor Bob Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 I received the Master a few weeks ago...but not the the Express answers...I honestly do not expect that until late Feb or March....after half of my returns have already been prepared. Maybe they will drop the "Express" from their title this year...maybe change it to "Thank Congress for Better-late-than-never Answers" Quote
Bart Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 I just noticed I have 0 warning points. I guess I will have to try harder. Quote
Janitor Bob Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Same here...perhaps I should throw in some profanity to maintain my bad boy rep. Quote
lydia33 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 I do have the master tax guide, but I got my books mixed up. I get The Tax Book Deluxe, too. That is what I got right after christmas. Sorry. I like the TaxBook better than the Express Answers. Quote
BulldogTom Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 I got what the little boy shot at.....nothin'. Wonder if they don't give out those books to little boys who are naughty and get warning points? Tom Hollister, CA Quote
kcjenkins Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 You will have to do better than that JB!!!!!! 1 Quote
grandmabee Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 my 1040 express answers came UPS today on the west coast Quote
Gail in Virginia Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 I got the 1040 Express Answers yesterday I think. I know it is here, and I think it was the last of the three to come. We go in for overkill and get QuickFinders, Tax Book and Express Answers. We also got our Master Tax Guide several weeks ago. Quote
Janitor Bob Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 My cursing worked! Got mine in the mail today! Quote
TaxMan60601 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Posted January 9, 2013 With latest ATRA 2012 changes listed inside or? ... Quote
mcb39 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Posted January 9, 2013 With latest ATRA 2012 changes listed inside or? ... Highly doubtful as I have had both of mine for a while as well as my Quickfinder. I did print the 12 page American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which came out on Jan 2. Quote
Terry O Posted January 9, 2013 Report Posted January 9, 2013 got mine today - - now if I can just get the software to work - - - maybe I'll try Janitor Bob's method - - -#@!%!# Quote
Slippery Pencil Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 Mine came a while ago. Does anyone actually use this? When it arrived I threw out the 2011 and noticed it still had the plastic wrap on it. Quote
Guest Taxed Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 Anybody receive their 2012 Pub 17 yet? It has been on backorder for ever! Quote
mcb39 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 Mine came a while ago. Does anyone actually use this? When it arrived I threw out the 2011 and noticed it still had the plastic wrap on it. I use it as well as Quickfinder and if all else fails the MTG. Of course, the first access point is Pub 17, but sometimes you have to dig deeper. Quote
TaxMan60601 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 "Anybody receive their 2012 Pub 17 yet? It has been on backorder for ever!" That's correct! Up to now, I also still haven't received mine, but got a cool feedback -- oh mister, there is still no final version of this publication prepared for printing and even released, let alone be printed! lol And even more funny was the next answer of the irs lady, about my early online order on pub 1518. I ordered this mid oct and (as advised) patiently wait to receive it in mid jan when I suddenly saw that "the 2013 Wall Tax Calendar is out of stock and will not be reprinted!" And got this -- ...hu, hu ... hmm, okay ... well mister, I am SO sorry there is no way to track your online order !, but let me see what I can do for you ... I am checking SB/SE site for you but this connection is very ...! .... took my name and address, hold me for a couple of minutes more on the phone and then -- mister, I am very sorry but publication is out of the stock and will not be reprinted! I said okay, I can understand your original way of cost cutting but why the heck you just took my name and address!? she sharply said because I wanted to try SB/SE site and make one more online order for you!!! No comment ... By the way which way of order you find more successful? Quote
Slippery Pencil Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 early online order on pub 1518. I ordered this mid oct and (as advised) patiently wait to receive it in mid jan when I suddenly saw that "the 2013 Wall Tax Calendar is out of stock and will not be reprinted!" I ordered one online the first week of January. Got it about a week later. Quote
Lion EA Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 I have had spotty luck with ordering the calendar not too soon and not too late. This year I ordered online and actually received five. In the years that I was too late, I contacted our friendly, local IRS liaison in CT to see if they had some stockpiled. He knew who did and had me mailed a few! And some years I saw an IRS booth at one of the trade shows I attend, and they had them as handouts! Quote
mcb39 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 They used to give them as handouts a Tax Insight classes. This year hardly anything. We used to leave with a plastic bag of goodies. What I REALLY miss are the e-file sheets of stickers. I liked to put one on the cover of the client copy of the return. It was just a nice touch. 1 Quote
Lion EA Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 I really miss the e-file stickers as I too put them on returns. I called the IRS last year and was told they no longer printed those. (Don't have to provide us any incentives to e-file now that it's manditory!) Quote
