If they don't accept it appeal it, you have the ammo to back it up.

Not only did client make my day but you guys did too! Elrod, those glasses look very familiar to me. Had my physical recently and Doc said 1 or 2 glasses a day, but I don't remember him saying anything about the size of the glass or how high, so I will use my good judgment.

Thanks, I actually feel a little emboldened and compassionate about this.

It looks like checking the yes or no box on line 27 takes care of this ?

Thanks. Dan, I've already suggested this to the preparer. She sometimes gets "too busy'.

There will be a large number of hours spent just getting to a beta status, which should be accounted for at a reasonable rate. This amount, no matter the structure, will not likely ever be covered by revenue. Then, if they get to release status, the only reasonable way to make money these days (for new ideas) is via mobile apps and ad revenue, which takes time and multiple titles based off the same code (low cost to develop additional titles.) The chances of them being the next "DOOM" are too small to consider - if it happens, they can deal with it then. When asked about getting into the software market, my answer remains unchanged after decades. Develop something you know, use, and can't live without yourself, share it with others, and if it is to be profitable, it will become apparant when you share with others. Then, after sharing, if it seems profitable, setup a "real" business. If developing other than by yourself, setup some sort of structure which can be enforced if the item becomes a product. Setting up a business first will only take away from development. Just one person's opinion, who happened to get into the try before you buy software industry at the right time... (Also applies to an old passion of mine, auto racing - and too many who tried to setup businesses for a hobby with zero chance of making a profit. One interesting item in auto racing, is when racing as a business, the often unforeseen pitfall of needing a commercial drivers license to transport the car... and all the CDL regulations involved such as hours, weight stations and inspections, etc.)

That would depend in facts and circumstances Were they also living in the house while it was B & B? I believe the proper place to report expenses for a closed business in on Schedule C and would offset any other income of the same character: like SE, earned income......etc. In the same regard if there was a positive adjustment it would also go on C.

I would put on E so it retains the same character as originally reported.

I agree with Catherine, W-2'C showing total as reported and what should be reported. If you are paper filing you can attach an explanation. If you don't mind a suggestion, a payroll reconciliation should have caught the error: W-3 = totals from 941's = total from year end payroll summary.

Bill.....Remember to fill your glass first....

It worked! First client received refunds of $8K and $9K plus interest. Waiting to hear from next 2 clients I also amended. I'm hearing that it depends on who is looking at the return, so may be luck of the draw. They deserved it, made my day. Client told me to pick the restaurant. Of course I will include the cost of the meal in income, I hope I remember to write it down after the $50 bottle of wine.

If you have an SSA Business login, I'd try filing W2C's there. Put in the doubled-total are original report, and correct amount for corrected.
