Really? I just read the warning, clicked the continue (or equiv button) and
went about my business. No lies needed at that part of the tax prep process.
The complaint I have about TT web is that it doesn't allow access to the Forms
view that stand alone TT has. So when Nustar Energy's K-1 had a problem (a
one dollar allocation of income between domestic and foreign sources, with NO
tax affect) TT wouldn't let me file the return until I corrected the error,
but I didn't have access to the form to correct the error.
Growl. Fortunately I did find a work around and am glad I understand the
accounting concept of "material."
And Cheers to Rivermark CU - when I couldn't find my 1098 (mortgage interest
statement) they called back with the numbers. But Wait! I'd origially left a
message asking for help and then called back to say "found it." After
listening to both calls they called me anyway with the numbers just in case.
Nice service.
