It is simple math. no more 2 minus ( 1+1) does not equal NONE On Tue, Sep 19, 2017 at 4:19 PM, Barry J. Cohen < > wrote: Fair enough. From: jeffrey E.

HI II, as i told you, computers dont read letters On Tue, Sep 19, 2017 at 4:15 PM, Barry J. Cohen < fr> wrote: Sorry I misunderstood on the 000s. Gift tax returns have to report a number somewhere, so maybe statute doesn't start. But if you filed an income tax return for an entity with no income or expenses, Joe V assumes the statute would start. In any event, we don't file returns that way. As I said, we would say "None" where appropriate. From: jeffrey E. [mailto:jeevacation@gmail.com Sent: Tuesday, September 19, 2017 4:09 PM To: Barry J.

On Tue, Sep 19, 2017 at 4:03 PM, Barry J. Cohen < wrote: John Cook at EY said they would not sign a return that uses the 000s method. They said that there are too many footing problems. Numbers won't tie to K-Is, W-2s, 1099s, etc. Also, if you only use it on part of the return, the various numbers on the return would not EFTA01015218  match internally. He also pointed out that this method effectively truncates numbers; though I'm not sure what rounding rules you use. E.g., 101,499 become 101? What happens to the other $499? Joe V likes the idea of putting in 0's instead of blanks. He says he uses "none". He did not understand why this would affect the statute of limitations. Barry J.
