I would hand-tune the auto-generated WSDL and have GF use that.

The law biz is in the crapper right now (some law firms have lawyers doing paralegal stuff), so I bet you could find some tax-wiz who would help you out for a 10-20% cut. Things start moving along much faster once Legal is involved. I bet your file will get to the top of "Jimmy"'s pile as soon as Legal calls. P.S. Haven't seen you in a while! How you doin'? Sounds like you're rockin' life (minus the tax trouble). P.S.S. If you are still a Integration Analyst at Strong, I'm jealous cuz you have my dream job. :) Lawyer-time.

You just said that the IRS wouldn't consider your situation Financial Hardship unless you were in debt... and you are. You're just not having any trouble *currently* making your debt payments. This all really sucks, I pray it gets straightened out in time. Right, I understand.

Yes, I owe money. However, most of the money I owe is standard stuff (CC bills [paid off each month], Electric, Gas, Insurances, etc.) I have student loans, yes, in fact this is the first month I will be out of deferment. Money I "owe" for: Mortgage, Cars (mine and jess), and Roof. The roof is the one thats causing me trouble because our budget did not account for it going this long. Are we screwed? no. I have a good enough job we can afford it, but it makes things tighter, especially having a baby now. If the IRS was to deliver - as it was supposed to - in the 6-8 weeks they stated, we'd be golden. However, since they haven't, I have to continue taking a bunch outta each paycheck to pay for that loan. Which makes us tap into savings for the CC. Again, I have my finances in pretty good shape right now, and in fact, great shape. My issue is still with the IRS fucking up enough to make things more difficult for me and my family.

You've got a loan for that roof, and even though it's 0% interest right now, it's still debt. Not to mention your student loan debt. Or do you actually mean behind on your debt?

For example, if you're not going to get crazy-intense about paying off debt and investing immediately afterward, you better save a lot more than $1,000 in your emergency fund and continue contributing toward your retirement while repaying your debts. (To use the Dave Ramsey plan as an example.) So picking and choosing is good, but only if it ends up with a coherent financial plan, end-to-end. Which I know is what you mean, of course.

Gotta love these linkbait lists that are just meant to get links and traffic to the hosting site. They probably got your info wrong just so you would write about it! :P (Well, no, it's more likely just simple negligence.) Mmm... adulthood.
