I was promised the world and instead, I got a can of warm, smelly excrement! And yet, I cannot truly place blame upon Lacerte Software Corporation, my tax software provider since 1992. The have a system to which I am the exception falling so far out of the bell curve that no one could justify a permanent one person patch.
They tried. And in the process of trying, in taking down my anti-viruses, in assigning a phantom EIN, they truly fucked up my system and I fear I will have to purge the hard disk drive of everything and starting over.....starting over with the back up I actually have!!!!!
And thus, we (primarily Katherine Lipsher, MBA, EA) became expert at doing the FinCEN - for each individual, in a painstakingly slow bout of torture......and along the way, became convinced that the new system they set up cannot possibly work because of so many areas for which numbers had to be filled out when in fact there are none.......and for which, after looking at the returns efiled by clients, there are going to be far more 'variations' in answers than the government possibly could imagine......and I wonder..............
Other than that, life is nice, albeit kind of hot and humid, here in Hong Kong......
