No, she didn't. Almost made me feel dopey for suggesting it.
The thing is, also on that website, one can merely enter the name Spongetech and get the file number that gave us the access that we had. They ASSUMED that the only people that would access that form were people that were either filing or amending that form.
I guess the state has their reasons for that, but the fact is, if they wanted to restrict access to those people, they could've just used the Federal ID# for access. As it is....and I just checked.....if one knows the company's Federal ID# they can go back and amend the filing right now without too much difficulty. Bet I could find it in maybe 20 minutes.

It's been frustrating. I'm inclined to think that, if they gave a s$^t, which they apparently don't, the easiest thing to do would be to restrict access to the form by using the Federal ID# or maybe doing something a little less complicated, like writing "The system is only set to file and/or amend annual franchise tax reports not to view previously filed annual reports" somewhere on the form itself.

NAAAAAH. Reminds me of "Badges......we don't need no stinkin' badges!"

You still wouldn't have the correct numbers, but at least you would know what's going on. She didn't seem interested in doing that, did she?

~!~ That's not her job is it. She's a internet chat hourly person. And doesn't know everything. Why would she even care about the website. She is trained to answer questions within her scope. That is all.

You still wouldn't have the correct numbers, but at least you would know what's going on

~!~ That is a complete contradiction. How would you know what is going on without the correct numbers... knowing about spng? Knowing about del gov website? It is possible to file your taxes but not PAY them. Asking for an extension would allow that, wouldn't it? Do you see anywhere where they PAID that tax except what that hourly person assumed because spng FILED.
Just another angle that could be assumed and or confusing.
You are all too quick to pat yourselves on the back on this one as well.
It isn't CONFIRMED is it. It's implied.
