After reading some of the recent questions posted here – and some of the answers – is anyone else more scared than usual about the tax preparation industry?

I've been here longer than you have -------- I've been scared for years.

@IRonMaN But to answer my question -- no more scared now, than usual?

Ever since the Zorro trademark was stolen, I've felt that 1040's are being slashed with Z's by people who shouldn't be allowed near tax forms.

One of these days one is going to get to me on a bad day and I'm going to ask if they actually charge clients real cash money to prepare returns. Or as those sophisticated preparers would say actually "charge their customers".

Wasn't that the one with Ben Affleck where they nuked Baltimore?

I like the posters who "have been preparing tax returns for 30+ years" but still haven't figured out how to read the instructions to answer their very basic question.

I think we need to add "what does 'you' mean" to our "gaurd dog" and "under 24" list.

I'm doing a lot of "walk on by" this year and adding more and more people to my "do not answer" list.

Back in the earlier days, I would at least glance at pretty much every post that showed up. But since Intuit made this their first line of support, there are too many posts to keep up with. Plus, the 8915F questions pretty much wore me out. I'll take a gander here every so often (usually while I wait the 45 minutes for a return to print) and call it good. I've become more of a social visitor than a support person and I kind of like it that way.

Yeah, I used to look at everything too. Like you I'm a "stay on page 1" reader. And after I ignore all of the 8915-F posts, and posts from people who I know have no business being in this profession and/or in this forum, that leaves about 3 left.
