@garman22 I have checked. The Illinois Department of Revenue will not be taking in PDF support documents through the MeF programs for TY2018.

I can see why it is not like. I checked Lacerte too and it does not allow for PDFs either. Please be kind to the messenger.

Although, I am unable to speak to the infinite wisdom of the leaders of the the great state of IL, if you need to attach a supporting statement to the return, it would have to be paper filed.

I agree, Lisa. @Kathi_at_Intuit thank you very much, darling!! This is exactly what I wanted to know.
I wanted to make sure I was not missing anything as I was tired last night when I asked this. I found an knowledge base article to help me but on Illinois it was grayed out. Illinois wants school receipts for those that claim k-12 expenses. I've NEVER done that until last year. I have friends (in the biz) who didnt know Illinois requests them. I found it to be a pain in the a$$ last year but.....Ill send my returns without and if they request, we respond.

this year IL does not need a copy of school receipts. They caution parents to keep copy of school receipts with tax papers, and will request them if they need them

@garman22 - I take no credit for that line. Our friend Archie Leach created that line that lives on even though he was killed in a car accident a couple of years ago. This place lost some of its fun after Archie's passing.

I always summarize on the Sch D and have never sent in the 1099B with the 8453 or attach to the return...if they want it, they can ask for it...I'm not wasting time mailing or scanning a buncha crap to them that will just be put in a file for nobody to ever look at again. CAGMC

But I'm sure they have somebody looking through every receipt very closely and adding them all up and checking the total on the return. The credit is like for $5,000 or something close to that for them to be spending their time doing that, isn't it?

The "Come And Get Me Coppers" acronym was started by Archie and just kind of stuck in here.....similar to the convoluted complicated crazy situations that get brought up, someone may refer to the "blind squirrel", which was another AllStar that passed away, he came in with the craziest stuff...it was like he had a neon sign above his office, "got crazy? come on in!" his avatar was a blind squirrel.

Jeff copied a link (Archie started) and I actually read it last night in bed where you were all discussing minimum charges. Interesting read. Some are much higher than me. But I prepare mostly blue collar (i think you and I talked about that, Lisa). So my fee are a little lower but I am happy and make a good living.

Its nice to know that there are others who charge basically same as me. Sometimes I wonder if I am too low but at the end of the day, my income is comfortable for me. I'll never be a millionaire but......I can buy what I like within reason. Unfortunately many cannot due to various reasons.
Jeff, I had to google Lutefisk.....never knew what that was. Bleh!!
