New software feature

[jainen]

What I would like to see is a way to click on any line of the tax form and select "Same as Last Year," without having to put in all the background numbers. Or, have an option to do the entire return SALY. It would sure make extension day go faster.

Hello Jainen! You've been missed! Glad you stopped in again...

And your suggestion is indeed worthy and would be most welcomed by all!

[zeke]

I favor anything that encourages Jainen to resume particiaption!

Hey, Jainen. Always good to hear your comments. I even agree with this one. Actually, I agree with most of what you say, even a few of the tongue-in-cheek comments. But a SALY button, especially on extensions -- BRILLIANT.

A SALY button would save time on a lot of C's and A's, especially, now wouldn't it? I'm sick of hearing, when I ask about an item, "Oh, it was the same as last year, just use that number." GRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrr [That is when I make them give me all the expenses IN WRITING, if they have not already done so. ]

Jainen, I am so glad to see you back! I have really missed you.

Jainen....it goes without saying. You already know that I missed you.....a lot. Thanks for coming back to see us on this official final day.

Damn old codger! Where the hell you been hiding? About time you got back here. Now go look at my post I just made and rip the $hit out of me for being stupid. Then tell me in your oh so smug way that if I just read _________ publication, court case, or code reference, it would be as clear as mud to anyone with half a brain.

Good to see you posting again.

Sounds good to me...although it would be best if it then tinted all the entries purple (estimated), but let the extension fly as is. (So we don't assume that those numbers actually go on the 1040.)

>>tinted all the entries purple<<

How could it do that--colors? My monitor only has two colors, a speckly forest green and a pale green tinge. I know it is kind of old, but it still fits perfectly into this cubbyhole on my rolltop desk.

Nothing personal, Bulldog, but I doubt if anyone on this forum HAS a half brain tonight [April 15]. Nobody in my office does. But I'm not going to pull out all those old Post-It notes for such an absurd scenario. In my opinion, you should have stopped half way through the first sentence.

That's the old Jainen that we have been missing!

Welcome back!
