When you don't get an answer here on DDF it doesn't mean people "don't have a clear answer"
First of all, with all due respect, I am assuming you don't (or didn't) have the answer to the simple question that I posted. I am assuming this because you discussed it multiple times without providing a simple yes or no answer. I may be wrong, but I can't think of any other motive for you to withhold this information.
This does not in anyway disqualify you from being a paid preparer!
Second of all, you never mentioned anything about basis limitations or at risk limitations. Not sure what @Henche was crediting you with, but he quoted something about you referring me to a paid preparer. You can take credit for that.
