  1. The kids spent more time with the father so he is entitled to claim them. I have not seen the divorce papers yet but client said there was a statement that ex must sign tax a " tax form". In my second post I made a reference to that as being form 8332. After a second thought, I went back and deleted that line but not before Mr. Pencil caught it. Your right, those two statements are not consistent. I have no idea what the lawyers came up with but will find out next week. Thank you for the advice Pacun.
  2. Have you tried calling the ATX Taco Support line? They are probably overwhelmed right now but it will be worth the wait.
  3. Thanks for your reply and clarification Izzet. My first attempt was to bring the 2012 data over to my new computer so I could start rolling over and using on the 2013 program. I had an ATX rep walk me through the process that was suppose to transfer the payer data as well. That did not happen and she conneted me with technical support. He had to unistall the 2013 software and client files from the new computer. That took him awhile. Then he started a new process to bring over the client data and the payer data. At that point it was three hours since I had placed the call and I had to leave, so he said he would call back the next morning at 7:30 my time. Instead he called back an hour early while I was out! At this point I am going to call ATX later in the day when I have nothing better to do for a couple of hours unless someone here can point me in the right direction. The objective is to transfer my client data and payer data to the new computer and get started on the 2013 program.
  4. Thanks for your response Jack. I don't see any options to transfer payer data base in Rollover Manager for 2013. As suggested by Izzet, I tried a single return export/import and it only transferred the payer information for that particular taxpayer as in the past. Am I missing something?
  5. Are you saying if you restore only one return it will transfer over "all" the payer information from the old computer? I don't think it works that way. In the past I have restored 1 or 2 returns at a time to my laptop without the entire payer data base transfering over. Tech support is supposed to call me back this morning. Hope they can figure it out. One reason I stayed with ATX was to keep the payer data. Thank you for your reply.
  6. Is anyone aware of a way to transfer the "payer manager" data base from one computer to another? I am setting up a new computer. ATX support was walking me through the process and I ended with an Excell spreadsheet. The problem is that it appears each item has to be copied and pasted to the payer manager from the spreadsheet. That is not worth the time and trouble! Thanks for any comments you might have.
  7. Now I see, you are talking about repairs before placing in service. They are treated as cost of placing the building in service and depreciated as such. Or as the new regs read “The amounts paid must be capitalized as amounts to acquire the building unit of property…”
  8. I am not sure about that last sentence. For example I believe the “Small Taxpayer Exemption” comes out of the new regs and would not be available before 1/1/14. In many cases it looks like the new regs will result in capitalization where expense could have allowed before. I agree with you that with the information given in this case the results would likely be the same.
  9. I don’t think I said it could be expensed. (?)

    I was opening and printing organizers when it happened.

    I have no idea why it would look there, but it did.
  12. It’s much deeper than that. If the renovation took place before property was rented, then the only option is to capitalize. Note the new regs take effect for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, so you follow the "old rules" in this situation.

    Yes it really did happen! I don’t believe in Santa Claus or Little Fairies and I don’t believe I will leave my CD in the drive again. The 2012 program tried to update forms from the 2013 CD. By the time I got reconnected with ATX Support, they had developed a patch so I did not have to UNISTALL/REINSTALL as I was told at first. (Search for reference #14468 in the Knowledge Library and you will see the word NEW next to it.)

    Warning!

    Do not leave your 2013 ATX in the CD drive on your computer! It corrupted some of my 2012 forms. Now I have the pleasure of doing an UNISTALL and REINSTALL for 2012. Support was starting to walk me through that process when I lost phone connection!
