Your question may be moved

Your question may be moved to the Consumer Questions Discussion Forum because you have not updated your profile to provide any information about your level of experience/background as a professional tax preparer. As a result, your question may be perceived as not complying with the guidelines established for TaxAmanac and the tax forum, which are intended for use by tax professionals only.

If you are a tax professional, please complete your profile (user page) right away, to provide some info about your experience level/background as a tax professional. Select edit at the top of that page, replace the boilerplate with your info, and then click Save page.

Your level of experience may be an important consideration when users are developing an appropriate answer for your questions. Beyond that, though, some users won’t respond at all if your profile hasn’t been updated, and as you’ve seen, having no profile leaves your question subject to being moved out of the professional tax forum. (Once your profile has been updated, one of the moderators can move your question back to the professional tax forum if that’s appropriate.)

If you are not a tax professional, please ask your question on the TurboTax website: www.Turbotax.com.

Your question has been moved

Your question has been moved to the Consumer Questions Discussion Forum because it does not appear to comply with the guidelines established for TaxAlmanac and the tax forum, which are intended for use by tax professionals only.

If you are not a tax professional, you will likely be advised to seek out a local tax professional who will have the opportunity to understand your entire business and/or tax situation and can provide both advice and follow-up. This is not simply a brush-off, it's because (a) simplistic answers to questions that are more complicated than you may even realize can be more dangerous than helpful to you, and (b) the users on this site actually make their living helping people like you answer questions like yours, and are not always inclined to do the same thing for free.

If you do not yet have a tax preparer, you might find How to find a local Tax Professional to be helpful. You might also consider asking your question at TurboTax.com, as they have a helpful community for non-pros.

You are, of course, welcome to use the yellow search box (upper left corner of screen) to look for info that might be helpful to you in better understanding the issues you face. And, once in a while, the tax professionals who come to this site to interact with each other will also help out non-professionals, but often the situations that are presented are not the kind that can be answered in a quick post or two.

If you are a tax professional, you need to update your user page (your profile) to provide some information about your level of experience and background/credentials, and then your question could be moved back to the tax forum by a moderator. While you're waiting for that to happen, please be sure to review Pub 17 and other standard research resources that provide answers to common questions. (Once your profile has been updated, one of the moderators can move your question back to the professional tax forum if that’s appropriate. Please don't start a duplicate discussion, as it'll just have to be deleted.)


The posts that you added at the end of two existing discussions appeared to be on the same topic as the discussion you started, and therefore they were considered to be duplicates and thus have been deleted. I did transfer the text from the longer of the two of them (they were identical except that one had an extra line at the end) into the discussion you started, so that all of the facts are together. It gets very confusing when people ask the same question in multiple places, and therefore we have a general policy of trying to keep things together.

Where did my question go?

Hey Frank: Your question probably has been moved to the Consumer Questions Discussion Forum because you have not updated your profile to provide any information about your level of experience/background as a professional tax preparer.

And your MFS question has been moved, too

Which shouldn't come as much surprise to you I guess.
