but doesn't it seem like overkill to require the school statement to be notarized? After all, it's on the school's letterhead and an ordinary taxpayer usually couldn't get one of those to fake up.

Did the client suggest a notarized document from the neighbor (seems sort of intrusive -- like the census-takers in 2010)? If it's your idea, you've got guts, but, of course, everybody's gotta do what they think they need to do (I'm all for anything that soothes the nerves).

Anyway though, it looks like you aren't taking David1980's advice to say "never mind" about getting documentation. So, if I may ask, how are you answering the questions on lines 24 and 25 of page 3 on the 8867? Do you think those questions "Did you ask this taxpayer any additional questions..." are referring to the bold print beneath number 24 which talks about "incorrect, incomplete, or inconsistent" information, or are they referring to the documents listed on page four?

We created our own checklist document (with our handwritten notes on it) and are having those clients sign it. And we've been and will be checking Yes on both 24 and 25.
