They're everywhere! They're everywhere!

Amateur tax preparers, that is -- they're coming in the windows.

Farm client came by Saturday and brought his field hand who asked me to "fix" the W-2 I made in January. Client pays employees' half of SS/Med for them, so I added it to Box 1 Wages.

FH said "Uncle Floyd does lots of these and says he never seen a 10-W-40 messed up this bad. The top figger is bigger'n them other two right by it and so's that 'un on the state down at the bottom. He don't get it."

I'm familiar with Floyd's credentials; he got out of county a few months ago. Guess they do pick up things in there (I hear they've done well claiming FTHB while inside).

Ahhhh.................

We are fair game in Wal-Mart, I guess

(I hear they've done well claiming FTHB while inside).

Church "friend" runs me down in Wal-Mart after church yesterday: I didn't want to bother you at church, even though Wifey said I should just ask you...but I didn't want to impose, you know, at church and all...

Me: Do you have a question?

Thoughtful church friend: Yeah, my buddy got that same house buying credit I got and he got a letter saying he didn't have to pay it back. I'm not worried about it, but are you sure I have to pay that back? I mean, I didn't get any letters telling me to pay it back or anything. (TCF got the $7500 LOAN. Who knows what his buddy got? That credit changed more than some people change underwear.)

Me: Could you bring me your friend's letter and his last three tax returns?

TCF: Also my friend's CPA said you could get a tax credit for your mortgage interest. Up to $10,000. Do you know anything about that?

Me: No, can't say that I do. And, it would not bother me in the least if you called your friend's tax preparer.

TCF: Oh, no, it's not that important. (I'm walking away.) Didn't want to bother you at church and all...

OK, really?

love your stories

I absolutely love your stories. Whenever things get tough, I look for a RitaB post.

I think some of you need together and write a book. It would be hilarious.

I think sometimes these people think if they tell us someone else said they could do this or they should be entitled to something we are just going to say "oh, yea. I forgot about that. You are right. Let me fix your return for FREE."

Dream on!!!

Well, you CAN get everything at Wal-Mart...

Sure, we can fix that while I check out. You'll have to excuse me cause I have more than 20 items, but I can probably do the amended return while you grill your doctor about your bunion. He is over there in the dog food aisle.
