They said that there are too many footing problems. Numbers won't tie to K-1s, W-2s, 1099s, etc. Also, if you only use it on part of the return, the various numbers on the return would not 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.
