New deductions!

[Possi]

Still waiting!!

I'm still waiting! I am sure he will bring it in. I'll email him and ask again.

I sure don't want him to get in trouble for illegal deductions, and he doesn't want that either. In the meantime, I don't want him telling anyone else that I don't do a GREAT JOB!

What happened with this?

We are dying to hear what happened with this return?

Back when the practitioners' hotline was first set up (about 1983 or so?) I had the bright
idea of buying a red telephone and hooking it into the wall so I could tell clients that was my
"hotline" to the IRS, whereby I could get through directly to someone who could immediately answer our problems. Actually now I'm glad I never followed through on that idea. For clients might think that if I could call them directly, they could call me directly about a client!

Good one!

Yes I am aware that it is the preparer...but isn't this return being brought to you by someone other than the person that prepared it....even if that is the case, I would still redact it and send it in.
Or you could redact it and fax it to me...

I just called him.

Yeah, doesn't he know are all waiting? lol

1- "friends at the IRS" is an oxymoron.
2- "talks to them every day" is a moron.

OK, now that is funny!

[Possi]

Bringing it today or tomorrow

I just called him. He's bringing me the return today or tomorrow. I'm not sure, but I don't think the return was actually filed.. I think he wanted me to check it first... not sure...

I'll get back on as soon as I see what's going on! The suspense is killing me!

Oh, and it is the TAX PREPARER that talks with his/her buddies at the IRS EVERY DAY!

1- "friends at the IRS" is an oxymoron.
2- "talks to them every day" is a moron.

Here's a funny one. New client today is school bus driver employed by local school system and the preparer last year claimed xx,xxx miles last year on a 2106 for miles driven.

I can hardly wait

Possi, I can hardly wait for this. Please keep us informed.

At a minimum, I can see us falling out of our chair laughing...

[oceanlovin'ea]

He talks to the IRS every day!!!!!! That was my thought exactly. He must have a lot of problems to have to talk to them every day.

How would he ever get any work done! You sit on hold for a long time when you do call.

Can't wait to hear the results

I think

that is is the preparer not the taxpayer who talks to the IRS daily.

[taxea]

Since your friend talks with the irs daily...once you see all these new deductions and determine that they are not kosher my suggestion is:

You copy the return, redact all the information that would identify the TP, leave on the information that identifies the preparer and have you friend give the redacted copy to his buddy at the IRS.

[Possi]

You bet!

Boy, (and Girl), is this a great board, or what?

This IS a GREAT BOARD!

still waiting for the return.....

Also waiting here with bated breath.

Actually I laughed mostly at the phrase "talks daily with IRS". To us, that's a real red flag.
