I'm sure someone else has mentioned this in another thread, but I just recently noticed that the IRS is no longer offering a paper version of Publication 17. Apparently, you can't even buy it from the IRS. It is no longer printed.
I wonder if the printed version of the 2013 Publication 17 will one day become a collector's item.
Somewhere I still have old copies of Package X. (Younger tax pros won't even know what that is.)
And I also have a few of the old-style Form 1040 tax packages, unused, in very good condition, with the high quality *color* tax forms bound into them.
Does anyone remember how the IRS used to send out pre-printed labels?
There was a time when those labels actually had the taxpayer's social security number on them.
Hard to believe, in today's environment.
Of course, the irony is that electronic filing with direct deposit is what has made tax identity theft so easy...
I wonder if I should put those 1040 packages up for sale on eBay...
Do today's newly minted tax pros even realize that Form 1040 is supposed to be blue, and Form 1040A is supposed to be pink?
