No, just my Uniball pen and a non-programmable TI calculator from the 70's.                                 Dan Lanciani                                 ddl@danlan.*com -- << ------------------------------------------------------- >> << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used, >> << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties >> << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer. >> << >> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts >> << to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy >> << are at www.asktax.org. >> << Copyright (2007) - All rights reserved. >> << ------------------------------------------------------- >> Posted by scott s. on October 14, 2008, 3:28 pm Please log in for more thread options > > And incidentally, the major commercial players for individual tax > prep have all decided to no longer charge extra e-filing fees.

I won't send my return through a third party, but maybe that is not considered a "major excuse". scott s. .. -- << ------------------------------------------------------- >> << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used, >> << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties >> << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer. >> << >> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts >> << to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy >> << are at www.asktax.org. >> << Copyright (2007) - All rights reserved. >> << ------------------------------------------------------- >> Posted by Harlan Lunsford on October 26, 2008, 5:50 pm Please log in for more thread options Mark Bole wrote: >> And incidentally, once the TP goes back to filing their own return, they >> will start receiving forms again.

In my own case I naturally use my office software to prepare my own return and I, too, was deleted from the 1040es mailings. So that is how I surmised is wasn't dependent on using a paid preparer, or even a volunteer preparer e.g. AARP, but instead tax software. I suppose if I download blank 1040ES forms and resume hand printing same for my quarterly payments, I might regain the status of being on their mailing list. Anyway, for clients who noticed this last year, I calmly explained to them that the reason they didn't receive printed vouchers was that IRS had placed them in the "FOH" status. Huh? FOH? Sure, I explained; Friend of Harlan. > > The past is no guarantee of the future. Ain't that the truth! (as I return from vacation and reluctantly update my retirement accounts' spreadsheet.)
