Gail, we would never kick you off!

That fixed my problem, Perfect!!! Thank you very much!

Have you entered taxpayers date of birth?

I can't speak for anyone else but my decision to stick with ATX appears to have been correct. I could not believe such a large company would not move aggressively to resolve the issues with their product. My software is working ok and oddly enough this on a slower computer (I am a patient person ). It's also great to be a member of such an astute forum whose members fill in my gaps .

That was beautiful.

How about that? Although I have never actually dealt with this situation, I was just SURE that such mileage would be a deductible expense. Now I see that it is not. I am now smarter and can provide yet one more example of how this board has made me so. I have referee clients but never any that had mileage....Now if they do, I will know how to handle it!

JB, I like you a lot, so don't take this as a slam or a knock at your abilities. You are dead wrong. Schedule C is for self EMPLOYED persons. They employ themselves. And it is commuting if he does not have an office in the home. This is why we have to document the OIH "regular and exclusive use" so closely for our clients, because the thing the auditor is normally trying to get rid of is the mileage, not the little bit of mortgage interest, depreciation and utilities that the SE taxpayer is getting on his office. It is the mileage that is the big ticket on that form. Establishing an office in the home opens up the mileage deduction. Tom Hollister, CA

On page 2 Pub 463 says, "read this publication if you are an employee or a sole proprietor." Or just look at Schedule C, exactly where you think mileage should go. The Instructions clearly say, "commuting is travel between your home and a work location."

The last time I updated the program, a little guy wearing a sombrero and pulling a little donkey walked out from behind my computer and shouted "TACOS!"...then disappeared back behind my computer. While that is an interestingg added feature, I never actually received any tacos...so in the end, all this update did was make me hungry. Hopefully, ATX has addressed this issue in today's update.

I personally am hoping that Ohio accepts 2011, 2012 and then follows up with complimentary pizza delivery.

The DCB is only related to her wages. It sounds like you are not correctly entering the data for Part III of Form 2441, which should exclude the income without generating a credit (if one child). By the way, Box 3 does NOT mean he isn't self-employed.

I choose one for each client, and give them a choice between the other two.

Wow, that's a good deal. I only allow people to choose one out of the three.
