From TaxAlmanac

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, please ask your question on the TurboTax website: www.Turbotax.com.

If you are a tax professional, please complete your profile (user page) 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. Don't start a duplicate discussion, as it'll just have to be deleted.)

You're not eligible to participate on the Tax Forum

Your latest posts on the tax forum have been removed. The Tax Forum is limited to tax professionals only. As you have not provided any information in your user profile about your level of experience/background as a tax pro, the determination about whether or not you're eligible to participate on the tax forum was based on your prior user contributions. A review of your prior contributions reveals that your posts often have to be corrected by others who come after you - you appear to have some tax knowledge but don't have the ability to properly apply it to the situations being posted and/or are not reading the posts prior to yours carefully enough to understand the situation at hand. Those seem to be indications that you are not a tax pro; perhaps you're still studying or are a well-read non-pro. Either way, that would not qualify you to be responding to questions on the tax forum.

You might find that you'd be interested in helping out in the TurboTax community, where the people answering questions include both pros and non-pros, and the questions are generally less complex. If you're studying tax, the experience you gain there could be helpful to you.

But until such time as you are, actually, a tax professional, with experience with clients, and are willing to provide some information about that in your user profile, your posts will be considered unwelcome on the tax forum (consistent with the notice in the pink box at the top of the forum index).

Thank you,
