Is there a way to cancel an automatic debit for paying taxes? Taxpayer wants to cancel auto draft on already filed Return.

Really appreciate all the suggestions. Will look into.

Thanks for your response. I had tried Office 365 but the end user couldn't always open up. Will look into your suggestions.

I am needing advice on sending taxpayers emails with their tax return attached. I am looking for some app or program that will let me password protect or encrypt the email. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

We are thinking about selling our tax practice. However, when you sell a tax business you are basically selling names. Wouldn't your tax customers have to agree to new individual /company doing their tax return before selling? There seems to be a fine line and I'd appreciate any input.

Thanks so much!

Client adopted a child two years ago and the biological mother continues to file a return using child's ssn. My original e-file returned was rejected; we removed dependent and then e-filed again. They needed refund ASAP. Should I just amend their return with an explanation? Or is there specific IRS form I could use to explain and process? I have looked for federal form but can't find one. Does anyone have any suggestions??

Is anyone using ATX Payroll program or client accounting suite? Looking for a good Payroll program. Suggestions??

Does anyone have a recommendation for payroll software (other than Quickbooks)?

Thanks for all the ideas and time!

Need to amend a dependent's return that an exemption was taken for them "and shouldn't have". After I amend dependent's return, do you think after a couple of months I would be able to then "e-file the parent's 2012 tax return"??? Or do you think I will have to paper file the parent's return? Any thoughts??

Thanks Diane. I'm hoping when all is said and done we'll be able to efile it.

Unable to add Form 3800 or 8941 for this Credit. Has anyone been able to add these to their Returns? I cannot find them anywhere on ATX download section. Thanks,

Yes. I have spent an hour and 20 min on phone with ATX support. I have not been able to download any updates - forms or program for the last four hours. I was told that there was a problem and they were working on it. Keep checking back to see if I could update. My problem is the 1040, w2 , 1099sa have updates...have appointments...had to cancel. Ugh! Every year seems like something.

Hi! Is there anyone who has their own tax website who would like to share some of the drawbacks and/or highlights? We are creating one and just want to hear from someone else. Thanks,
