Did everyone know about CC being down all weekend except me? I must have known and just forgotten. Must be the reason I've still been dragging my feet about getting my taxes done.

It just doesn't seem to be a good time for them to do this (tax time). I was trying to get my income from last year, but now that I think of it, they did mail us a statement, right? My husband is anxious to get this done.

Has everyone else filed their taxes already?
 
I did mine last month. They always mail you a statement until you made less than $600. There have been warnings every time you log onto CC all week.
 
There have been warnings up all week.
Our tax paperwork was mailed to us back in January.
Sounds like you're a last-minute-Charlie, just like me - LOL
Good luck.
 
I thought I was going be on top of things this year: I dutifully logged all my deductions into P3 last year and made back-ups. Well, that lapop is dead dead dead and the back-ups apparantly did not save as a data file, so all was lost. :cry: Then, I couldn't find my dayplanners from last year until just this week (they got misplaced during my move.)

I was up until 1 AM Thursday going thru receipts, calendars and records to provide my deductions to our accountant. I still have to provide her my mileage and a few other categories, but I'm over $10K in deductions so far. (I deduct everything :sing:)

Same thing happened to me, but I only lost half of the year. Ugh - what a mess! I had receipts, etc...but it was still a pain having to sift through it all, and categorize everything and add it up....

UGH! We found the statement from PC with my earnings. Now to organize all of my deductions -- last year I swore I'd do them monthly, but here I am a year and a couple months later and I'm still not doing it that way. Maybe next year..... Glad to hear there are other procrastinators.Happy Easter!!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CC down all weekend affecting my ability to file taxes?

What should I do if CC is down and I need tax information?

If CC is down, you can try to gather your tax information from other sources, such as your personal records, bank statements, or any previous reports you may have downloaded. Additionally, you can reach out to your upline or fellow consultants for assistance.

How can I stay updated on the status of CC?

You can stay updated on the status of CC by checking Pampered Chef's official social media channels, their website, or any communication sent to consultants via email. They often provide updates on system outages and expected resolution times.

Will I be penalized for filing my taxes late due to CC being down?
