You can either print the forms to paper or you can convert the file to a pdf then transfer it to a portable device as was apparently done here. Regardless of if it's true or not, whoever posted it does understand the workings of a CPA office.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-57298159563870544582012-09-06T06:41:58.035-04:002012-09-06T06:41:58.035-04:00I also wonder about being able to photocopy the re...<i> I also wonder about being able to photocopy the returns in the office.</i><br /><br />They seem to be claiming to have downloaded files, not made photocopies, but I'm not clear on that.

In the law offices I've worked in, to use <b>any photocopier</b> you had to have a employee keycard to plug into the machine and then you had to key in a client/matter number. No copying got done if there wasn't a client/matter to charge it to. I'm sure an organization like PWC operates the same way.

As someone who speaks ...I disagree with you Steve. As someone who speaks AccountantSpeak fluently, ;-), I can tell you that when a reference is made to a client's 1040 they are referring not just to the 2 pages of the 1040 form but to all of the associated schedules and related forms that back up the numbers reported on the 1040 pages (and frequently forms that are informational only). Tax software programs include all these forms in the client file. So I am assuming (if this story is true) that a) if whoever did that was sufficiently familiar with tax software to pull up the file and convert it to a pdf then he or she is probably a CPA and would just say "his 1040" and b)PWC has massive egg on its face to have let this happen which I find amusing as not a fan of theirs.<br /><br />And I'm really, really, really hoping the story is true!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-36067067704142661252012-09-05T19:05:06.588-04:002012-09-05T19:05:06.588-04:00My 2 bits: if the next thing we hear about is some...My 2 bits: if the next thing we hear about is some alleged connection between the "hackers" & the DNC/the O campaign/some other Dem entity or campaign operative, then we can be pretty sure it's Rove burning the Reichstag.BHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12991272246814476124noreply@blogger.com
