I knew it didn't sound right and even asked Rick to check to be sure he was telling me right. He came back and assured me he was right. I won't be chatting with them anymore, since I can't trust what is said. Now, back to my original problem--has anyone been able to unlock the spreadsheet to cut/paste the description info??

She told me the current version CAN be used. Like many of you, we have already downloaded and pre-filled the forms. What a absolute pain it would be to have to start all over on October 1! Leslie, I hope this gives you some relief and allows you to focus on your son's wedding.

I just spent a day or two prefilling the forms with the information that I could put in ahead of time. And now come to find out the forms are less than useless. I have exactly Oct 1 and 2 to file my reports before I go on vacation for my son's wedding. Not having access to the forms until 10/1 really cuts down on the time I have to finish the reports. I wonder if federalreporting.gov will bottleneck as we all try to get online to get the forms???? Diana - thank you so much for passing this information on. Just goes to show the value of the colleagues on this list and that we only have ourselves to rely on for timely information. Lesley S.

I was told that the excel templates available today are just a model and if we tried to upload them on 10/1 they would be rejected. He said that the "real" templates will not be available until 10/1. Attached is a snapshot of my session with Rick. What do you think?? Diana Diana L.
