You would be surprised to hear that once in a while, there'll actually be money, like a dividend check that came and they thought it was a, they thought it was a, a government document.
I said, here's a check, you know, for you.
That's still constructive receipt, as they say.
Constructive receipt is a,
It's a good point.
But Elizabeth, your point is very well taken.
Be organized.
And another piece of advice I would have, don't press send.
Get up and walk away and come back again and look at it with a fresh set of eyes and then maybe press send.
Yeah, that's an excellent point.
One other comment I wanted to make about acceptance.
with the idea of when we transmit a return to the IRS, does it mean everything's over, we don't have any issues that the IRS could come back on?
And that's not the case at all.
And then finally, Elizabeth, you mentioned this at the open, when a return will reject saying that a social security number had already been used.
Now, that could be something as simple as you have a semi-adult child, I will say that.
They're away at school, and they got together with their friends, and they filed their returns on the weekend.
Maybe they had a little job at the college or maybe off campus, and they went ahead and didn't indicate that they were a dependent.
And then mom and dad go and file the return claiming the child.
IRS rejects the return saying this social has already been used.
Okay, that's an issue.
