Most of those requests don't lead anywhere. If they do, there is a qual. test right there (and it takes you to it) or they are automatically giving it out as soon as you request it.
People will watch for hits that say they are qual hits. Sometimes, those are posted on the forum (so watch for that!). Other times, a batch will appear, you'll do some - and a few days later you will get a qualification for the hit.

Thanks Jan. Its so frustrating... I am wondering whats the best way to learn and master the Turking.?

You might want to shop around. I have a very complicated tax situation - and I only paid 200. Usually, I do my own. But this year there were too many 'moving parts.'

I only went with them because the only other tax service I've used, Jackson Hewitt, fucked up my taxes SO BAD and I had to jump through hoops to get it fixed. Kind of scared me into sticking with what I know works. This is the most H&R has ever charged me though so I think I'm definitely going to move outside my comfort zone next year.

I thought I was going to owe a lot (thousands)
and,
I don't.
I went out thrift store hunting this morning to celebrate.

That is something to celebrate. I'm fairly certain I will owe thousands but I'm hoping my husband's probable refund mitigates some of the damage.

 

[thedorchannel]

how but I just pay one of y'all $100 to do em for me next year?

done! and all I have to do is pay @Vanyanka 30.00 to do them, and I make a cool sexy 70.00 on some o.g. shit

Hang around the forums to soak up knowledge and practice, practice, practice.

Damn O.O

I thought HIT Finder would only find HITs you are qualified for even if the requester posts others, so I just HF to alert me to the SC HIT, then find it in Forker and Panda that which is probably very convoluted with an easier way. But I can't catch a cold with HIT Catcher and Overwatch hates me.

Use mturk's excellent interface to find the qual you have and choose that version of the SC HIT.

Too bad mturk has a terrible interface for finding quals you have.

mturk qual tab is horrible. just dreadful.

 

[thedorchannel]

mturk qual tab is horrible. just dreadful.

i have like 8000 quals annd 7500 of them are "survey taken"

Just caught this.......does it suck?

Hopefully this HIT has been pulled, but if you see it, run!

Social Behavior Research Center Sounds Perception II(~ 30 minutes) $3.00

Even if you usually don't mind Inquisit HITs, this will make you hate it. For some reason the author split the task up into small steps, so it switches between Inquisit tasks dozens of times, where it hangs, has forced waits that seem unresponsive and goes on and on. To top it off, the second main task is horribly broken (a primitive capture the flag game).

[Freda Brown]

no, I went in to the office. I don't have to pay in, that's just what H&R Block charged me

Wait: H&R charged you $500? That's not even what you pay to IRS? That's a lot. My sympathies.
