I sense a disturbance in the Force

I don't know, is it just me?   Have I become so jaded after spending so many years here?  Anybody else making sure they don't update their software tomorrow?  Saying you have Intuit Beta is pretty close to saying you have COVID ------------------ scary stuff 😱

Screw this.  I'm going to start doing tax returns by hand.  No more newfangled computer stuff.  Concierge practice.  6 clients, $50,000 each.  Easy peazy and won't even have to e-file.  

Question - know any clients willing to pay $50,000?  Just looking.

Lacerte has a similar thing. I keep it turned off.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Whenever it's time to do it, I just turn on "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" instead. 

Hope this helps.

I come here for kudos and IRonMaN's jokes.

That was then, this is now.  We have the Guardians of the Space Force protecting us.  Besides, the Canadian border is open.

It's about time the border opened back up.  I felt bad for all of those moose trying sneak across the border to see family.

Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me... Maybe they should start getting ready for next year software and getting everything in order instead of worrying about this crap... Just my opinion...

While I tend to be quite cynical about such things, I *LOVE* the fact it has an option to roll back to the previous version.  I hope that will be a permanent option.

Bill - this is Intuit we are taking about.  Do you really think it will be able to do that without causing destruction in its path?😰

Good point, it would probably revert all of our tax returns to whatever we had entered on January 15th.  😂

The Disturbance in the Force was caused by Rebel Wilson eating a massive bowl of pork and beans and forgetting to take her daily bottle of Pepto-Bismol...😉

Based on my college learning days, you are pricing them too high.  Psychologically, $50,000 is a tough sell.  Now if you knocked the price down to $49,999, people believe they are only paying $40,000 instead of that astronomical $50,000 price.  

As a side note, I am now closely reviewing my client list to see if I can come up with 6 clients willing to pay that.  I might have to settle for only 5.
