MsTabbyKats Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 I have this irrational fear of e-filing the wrong return. I probably check and double check 5 times...before I start the process. Anyone else....of am I just weird? Has anyone ever e-filed the wrong return? Quote
imjulier Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 I have not e-filed the wrong return. I create the e-file with the 8879S in front of me so I can double check the amount that the client signed off on before I create the e-file. I've never had that be different either but its how I ensure I am doing the right thing. You might also be a little weird or have a little OCD but we all have our quirks. Find something that lets you check one thing and then let it go mentally knowing that you have completed your check. Quote
HV Ken Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 I have a simple process to ensure this doesn't happen. I do not generate the final version for e-file until I have the signed signature pages. Then head right over to the e-file manager and transmit. 1 Quote
MsTabbyKats Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Posted March 13, 2013 LOL....no, you don't get the point. I have everything...and everything right in front of me. I double check...triple check....check the name, make sure the refunds match...everything. I just have this fear that one day I'll open the wrong return and e-file it. It's never happened...because I am uber -conscientious. But mistakes happen...... Whatever....I also have an irrational fear of mice. I used to work in a lab with white mice...but freak out if I see one of those grey critters race across the floor. Quote

Elrod Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 Elephants fear mice....I'm a feared of elephants. Quote
Gail in Virginia Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 My fear is not that I will file the wrong return - it is that I will miss filing a return that I should file! 5 Quote
RitaB Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 My fear is not that I will file the wrong return - it is that I will miss filing a return that I should file! I am with you on that one. I hate that there's not a tab for returns where the e-file has NOT been created, so I can look at that once in while. I always have a few, like the two I rolled over so I could mail them 1040-ES. I suppose I could then delete them, and rollover again when they show up in October. Also have two others that I had to paper file, one amended, etc. Quote
mcb39 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 I have an irrational fear that I will never finish on time; that we will not have a program to work with next year, and/or that I might do bodily harm to one of my clients before the season is over. Well, probably not bodily harm, but I came mighty close today to losing my temper and telling a client who called me and said "You have to fix it!" to telling her to fix it herself. It wasn't even an tax issue; it was a cosmotology license renewal that she has been bugging me about all week. For crying out loud, what is wrong with these people? I need, and intend to have, a good cry. Today is my oldest son's birthday and fortunately we all consider the number 13 to be very lucky. 3 Quote
kcjenkins Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 I have an irrational fear that I will never finish on time; ALL MOTHERS OF 13 YR OLD SONS HAVE THAT FEAR. And it's not at all irrational. LOL Quote
Catherine Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 My baby girl turns twenty (TWENTY -- when on earth did THAT happen?!?!?!) on Sunday. She wants her birthday dinner on Friday so she has time to eat her leftovers before she goes back to school after spring break on Sunday afternoon. I ordered her cake today. And I have bronchitis and a fever and don't know if I'll even be able to go have a celebratory dinner with her. Wah. I am feeling more than a little overwhelmed and pouty right now. Whining mope over; thanks for being good sports and not heaving bricks at me through the computer! 1 Quote

When people ask me to do anything not related to tax work I tell them I will gladly help...after 4/15. They respect your expertise....that's why they ask you to do these things. Quote

joanmcq Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 I had my assistant key her first return today, besides her own. I'm going to find a few more easy ones she can start on while I have appointments tomorrow. And she brought me a rocking new client that I met with today. I am feeling better about things today for some reason! And it got up to 80 degrees too. 2 Quote

I am feeling better about things today for some reason! And it got up to 80 degrees too. That really just isn't fair! My girl comes in tomorrow morning and her desk is piled. I sure could have used her to run interference today. She isn't even close to learning how to key in a return but she does all the busy work and is keeping my bookkeeping data entry caught up; bills paid and keeping things tidy. Quote
RitaB Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 Today my printer acted like a brat, pretending to have paper jams and be out of paper. Then my wireless mouse died. I mean dead as four o'clock. Put in fresh batteries - nothing. THEN, the wireless keyboard went on strike. Fortunately, I had wired ones I could use, but I was pretty wired at that point. I was talking to myself, making statements, assuming... Quote
Lion EA Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 I hate it when my equipment conspires against me. Didn't I pay for its loyalty? 2 Quote
gfizer Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 I beat my last wireless keyboard to death. My oldest son looked at me like I was crazy and said, "Mom, I don't think that will help." Luckily he had pity on me and bought me a new one for Christmas. 2 Quote
