I can't believe that I have answered my own question...but, I found a quote from a senior member of the accounting firm as well as a good article describing the entire process.
This is what happens when I am stranded with too much time on my hands :'(
@Riker I'm not. I was pointing DForck42 to the door ;)
@NapoleonWilson Right. Squirrel-like reflexes far outweigh cat-like reflexes ;)
@MovieReel Wasn't this already asked before?
 
@steelersquirrel Indeed it was.
 
Okay.
I'm already sick of hearing about the Oscars.
Jimmy Kimmel was totally awesome, though! As I expected he would be.
 
@steelersquirrel Well, you already were before. ;-)
@steelersquirrel And he said Letterman was an inspiration for him. Woot!
 
@NapoleonWilson I saw that! I just fast forwarded through everything except for when he spoke ;)
 
I see.
 
12:12 AM
I was laughing really hard when he tried to drown out Matt Damon presenting with Ben Affleck. That was frigging hilarious.
@NapoleonWilson Awwww. I'm sorry. I just didn't care about any of it :(
Hey...I asked a frigging ToW challenge question about it! Even though I should have protested this challenge! Give me a break ;)
 
@steelersquirrel No need to be sorry for that.
 
Oh, woot! Gotta go!
I will call you tomorrow around 7:30-8am PST. Is that okay?
@NapoleonWilson Wake up!! I have to go! Is that time okay?
Argh! I gotta go. If you're around, then you're around. If not, I will talk to you whenever.
 
@steelersquirrel Should be fine.
@steelersquirrel Yes, yes, seems okay for now.
@steelersquirrel Have fun!

Q: A 70's or early 80's TV show where a group of kids are stuck under a city

Andreas CromackWhen I was younger I remember my dad watching what was either a movie or a tv show or a tv movie.

@AJ not really
@DrRDizzle I though you hate both
 
@AnkitSharma What? Where on Earth did you get that idea from? I listed The Dark Knight as one of the best films of the 21st Century so far not so long ago.

Q: How many "Oscars" are given out per Cathegory

FrezzleyI was wondering, how many Oscars are given out per category and whether they only produce as much as they really need (give out) or the maximum that they could give out (on that given day) and because of that, maby keep some spare ones for the following year. From 1983 to 2015,[12] approximat...

 
@AJ God no.
 
9:31 AM
@DrRDizzle But you despise 2 out of 3 films from the franchise, so on average you don't like the trilogy :P
 
@AnkitSharma I don't despise any of the films in that trilogy. I like Batman Begins overall, I love The Dark Knight and I remember really liking The Dark Knight Rises, but I haven't seen it since release so I'm unsure about how I'd react to it now.

Laurent PireynSome movies feature child characters put in violent situations. This can range from crude language to extreme horror (e.g. torture, gore, etc.).

Q: How did Efraime cut out Henry?

BlueMoon93In War Dogs, I don't understand how Efraime did it (as far as I know, the movie didn't show it). Had they not payed Henry yet? Did they just go and buy the rounds directly from the Albanian government? Just how did Efraime cut Henry out of the deal?

Argh! The tag shouldn't have "the" at the beginning
I don't know how to fix it.
How do you edit a tag title?
 
@steelersquirrel you cant
 
you have to create the correct one and tag the wrong as a synonym IIRC
 
Well...that tag is wrong and now it's going to bother me ;)
How do you see who approved the tag edit so that I can scold them accordingly? ;)
 
2:33 PM
Im guessing the poster of the question made the tag
 
A J
@steelersquirrel Whenever you're in difficulty like this, put your hands up in the air and say, oh mod.
 
@Skooba Yeah, but I thought that the tag had to be approved. Maybe I am losing my mind.
 
@steelersquirrel the tag wiki edits do, but not the tag creation itself
 
You need 20k to have tag wiki privileges, but any user can create new tags. This makes zero sense to me.
Anyways, I gotta get out of here. See you sillies later :)

@NapoleonWilson maybe I am just old and blind :(
 
@Skooba Doesn't matter which version of you. There's no need for a synonym.
You basically create a new tag and switch the wrong one out for it. It will get auto-deleted in 24 hours then.
 
ah okay
The was what I was missing
 
Of course this only makes sense if the tag doesn't have a ton of question, but that one was new anyway.
