I haven't had anything from Drake yet. Tax Book's offer came in the mail today.

He's a cute little fluffball.

Yes, please see the instructions to preparing 1099-C and "Who Must File" and the large bold heading under that labeled "Exceptions". It seems that the form's issuance depends on the type of bankruptcy and whether the debt was for business or investment, or if it was for personal use.

Thanks. That's good to know, and so it would be up to Christian to find out the specifics for this student.

Christian, you may be correct. With the AOC, the student must be a degree candidate, and he can't be a candidate for a degree without graduating from HS. Most colleges and universities will not even enroll the student in the degree program without first completing the secondary education. The LLC, on the other hand, can be taken by an eligible student taking course(s) that are part of a degree program, but it does not require that the student be a degree candidate.

Student has to be a degree candidate, and since he hasn't graduated high school yet that would knock him out. No? Even if qualifying, AOC can only be claimed for 4 years. Maybe the parents don't want to claim in a year where the credit would be small.

The incomparable thrill of meeting the deadline. Almost 2 a.m. and 4 coffee cups, that would have been about right in many past years for me.

I'm done and done in. Last night I dug a hole on the edge of my foot to remove an already inflamed deepish splinter and went off this morning to the 5K charity event with a bunion pad and bandage. I completed only half of that, and then the sporting clays went about the same, like I was a raw beginner again. I had an awful season this year. My Mom passed at the end of Feb, and the I got the flu-a in early to mid March and missed many days. I actually sent 3 returns and a trust away because of it. There were a few days that I don't even remember in March when I started back working and was still very sick. Glad this season is over. If you made it this far, thanks for listening to me whining.

Yes, absolutely we want you to stay with us.

Have you included the nonresident/part-year ratio schedule in the return? That ratio from the schedule would be applied to the overall MT tax on all income so that the tax is reduced to the same ratio that the MT income represents of the total income.

Certain people do come to mind and then they turn to dust. Breaking things after an aggravating day can be very satisfying.

There is a fillable version available from irs.gov here: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8978.pdf and the instructions: https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i8978 Good luck!

I have no experience with this and don't use ATX but googled and found that ATX does not list this form as part of the ATX packages. https://support.atxinc.com/taxna/software-system-requirements/atx-forms

I'm done. This morning I filed the extension for my ultimate procratinator, and other than the extended returns, I am waiting on one to pickup (SO unexpectedly hospitalized day she was scheduled to see me) and one couple that have had the returns for almost a week and must return the 8879 to me. Tomorow I am participating in a charity event in the early morning and then will be shooting at the clay pigeons. That's been ongoing as weather permitted and really helped keep my sanity this year. Plus, it's fun.

TexTaxToo's quote is directly from the 1310's instructions. I don't know why this is so hard either. If Yardley's client (the son) has a Short Certificate, which if in his state would be the only official legal appointment LIKE IS HERE IN DE, then the form 1310 is NOT REQUIRED.
