Who is working today? About mid-point through the tax filing season. Been a banner year this year and even today. I hope everyone's tax season is going strong. Here's to a strong finish. 5695 fixed.. Wage issue fixed.. RITA fixed, W-2G workaround is easy..

24 so far today, not quite 3 pm.

I wasn't keeping count but I believe 4 bags of Dove chocolate today (how many in a bag?)

Yesterday sucked. Had trouble completing returns --------- what is so difficult about including all of your information in with the first pass? Making some progress today - thankful for those clients that can actually provide everything I need on the first pass.

I had a return yesterday that had a W-2G that came up with an error. Has anybody come across that problem yet? Does anybody know a workaround? 😜

I'm in the office. Not cranking out returns though. Doing the tedious jobs that are part of a being a one person business - billing, filing, looking for a clients file that has gone missing, filing corporate and partnership extensions......oh, and I wrapped a birthday present for my grandson.

Jim, Ohio does daylight savings time changes - correct ? Springing forward that hour makes you lose out on how many returns??

you are so right! I never thought of that.. I may lose out on three returns with the time change!

Not quite. They still force you to fill out the boxes for BOTH line 17 and 21 even when it doesn't apply.

Been working all day. Usually Saturday is quite productive, but too many calls/drop offs/pita clients today.

CAN YOU SHARE--WHAT IS THE W-2G WORKAROUND?

@paige

There are several threads discussing the workaround. No need to ask on this thread that is really only about "how's your Saturday going".

Here's just one that has better intel:

Or even this one - it's even on the first page of the forum:

I'm trying to work; in-between dealing with the 43 inches of snow we have received since early Thursday afternoon and the 60-70 plus MPH winds that keep making my power blip. Which resets Lacerte & my modem - so I have to wait until it all cycles thru & then re-enter my Lacerte password.

AND it is still snowing !

I love living in my mountains, most of the time. But these March blizzards sure can mess with the work-flow. I'm just glad I had an extra day in February to devote to snow blowing/shoveling 😉

Send a little of that snow you don't want this way. We are a little short and could use some. Actually, we are a lot short. We have none. It looks and feels more like April than March 2nd ----------- in other words, it feels like tax season should be ending rather than being in the thick of it.
