This one? The buck's got your back

Catherine... If that wasn't FDNY's it was funny.....If it was FDNY's is was still funny...Great post guy's....Thanks for the chuckle....

To go over all the pros and cons with a client would take at an absolute minimum 45 minutes. At this point in the discussion, you should making a list of the pros and cons to discuss with the client.

I wouldn't upgrade an old one to Win10. Buy a new computer with Win10.

I saw this last night and I hope you get to see it because you will fully relate and get a good laugh out of it.

That is my understanding. I had POA on file with the protest, the FTB called the client and stated the above. I have not received any written documentation nor have I talked with anyone @FTB. Max I would love to talk with you about this matter. I have never filled out a 100S and I am not looking forward to it.

Made me look... FTB Pub 1050. The unprotected activities list is fairly extensive. Dollar amount is not a catch-all for protection from taxation. "In-home" offices have what appears to very specific "protection", which extrapolates to anything not in the permitted list for in-home offices will trigger taxation.

I would fight this on principle alone and appeal it. It is not just the $800 and the 100S, it is the $800 and the 100S every year. Did the FTB reject solely for having one employee that earned less than $57,000? If that is the case, I think an appeal would be relatively easy. I deal with the FTB a lot and they do make mistakes and give out incorrect advice. In recent years they have been issuing penalties for all sorts of minor things which don't exist and because the amoutns are low - usually less than $200, most people dont want to bother fighhting it and just pay up.

thank you The LLC elected to be taxed as a S corp and then the S corp formed another LLC under the S corp - so the second...

Yes amazingly so. I was unaware I might resolve a personal issue through the PPS. My initial contacts with the Service basically pointed me to PAYING the penalty and then going through a byzantine process to get my money back. I did not have to use my FTA but was able to take advantage of the regs applying to TY 2018 because of the tax law changes placed into effect in December 2017. The person spoken to was unfailingly polite and saw to it I will get my $19 penalty which I myself computed fully refunded ! ! This pointedly reminded me of how valuable this forum is and the collected wisdom of members such as yourself. I think I saw a donate toggle the last time I came in so I will kick in for that. I have a real jim dandy of a situation coming up which I plan to put into the forum in a couple of weeks. I look forward to reading what my fellow tax folks have to advise. Again my sincere thanks for your help.

Penalty abated Max. Many thanks ! !
