No, don't remove it. It's good to know we all make mistakes and 'fess up to it. Especially the adjusting the screen thing. My screen is so adjusted, I no longer know what 'normal' is! Thanks, Rita, for making sure we know you are normal!

Randall and cbslee, these links below regarding the passive activity rules should help each of you with the proper reporting: http://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Small-Businesses-&-Self-Employed/Passive-Activity-Loss-ATG-Exhibit-2-7-Vacation-Rentals-Condos-B-Bs-Hotels-Reg-1-469-1Te3ii-and-Reg-1-469-5Ta Also this one has a discussion and lists the 6 exceptions to when an activity isn't a rental under reg § 1.469-1T(e)(3)(ii): http://www.cmorrisonlaw.com/rental-real-estate-losses-passive-activity-rules/ Finally, a succinct blog by an EA that hits the important points of this issue and what to watch out for. From five years ago but still good info here: https://urtaxlady.wordpress.com/2010/10/21/tax-guide-for-vacation-rentals/

Way too soon. Wait for your notification. The issue is still in the court system. There may NOT be a renewal fee. Grab the popcorn and wait to see.

Has the renewal time period started yet? I haven't received any official notification from IRS.

When you save the file after converting it to fillable, do a 'Save as' so it will be a PDF and not a PDF/A.

Like that......very funny.............

Catherine, that is not the case here. All the money the client receives as child support, MUST be spent on the kids and accounted for.

Any return can be amended withing three years of the filing the original. http://www.irs.gov/uac/Nine-Facts-on-filing-an-Amended-Return There is one exception - change in filing status. This has to be amended within 3 years of the original due date.
