This sounds wierd but it should be correct, right Jainen?

Who said that we need W-2s to prepare tax returns? We need them for efiling, correct? Who said that we need 1099s to prepared and efile tax returns?

AS LONG as the client has accurate records of what he made world-wide, we should be able to prepare their return.

Tax Payers have the choice to efile, correct? What's wrong with HRB to advertise that they can prepare returns with paycheck stubs?

Thanks,

Why ask me? I'm just going to tell you to do it the way IRS says. As for HRB, you aren't citing an actual ad so I don't believe they are making such an offer. We can all prepare a draft so the client knows what to expect when the W-2 comes, and we can all use the new pdf w-2s if available, and we can all use Form 4852 if required conditions are met. If that's not good enough, I'm not going to bother. Do it the way the IRS says.
