Hi there -- I haven't seen this mentioned, or maybe I missed it, but doesn't the following message scare you? ... no tax-return filing electronically without fingerprints on file? ... how are CPA's and lawyers somehow exempt??? doubleplusungood. -- LaurenN@wri.org ------------------------------------------------- Subject: Edupage 9/22/94 NEW RULES FOR FILING ELECTRONICALLY With the number of fraudulent claims for tax refunds increasing, the IRS is tightening up on who can file returns electronically. New applicants must be 21 years old, must be U.S. citizens or have permanent resident alien status, must authorize a credit check and agree to be fingerprinted. Lawyers, CPAs and enrolled agents need only show proof of their professional status. (Wall Street Journal 9/21/94 A1)
