Here you go, you can probably crop out the bottom portion: https://www.chicago.gov/content/dam/city/depts/cdph/tobacco_alchohol_abuse/NoSmokingECigaretteSign4282014.pdf

I don’t know in what state you are in, but here in IL, especially the city of Chicago, smoking is not permitted within 15 feet of an entrance, I’ll look for a sign you can print professionally and place by your door.

Install a very sensitive, very loud smoke detector in the alcove. Maybe your insurance company requires it...

Oh my gosh, I feel so bad for you. I would lose my mind. Are there any legal moves you can make?

Too funny! We have a large-screen TV on the wall in our outer room (there are a couple of local groups who have used the room on occasion, and they wanted to show videos etc). It's tempting. Except I don't want to hear it or see it all the time, myself!

We were trying to get gas service at our new address, and the company does a soft credit check with Equifax of all places. So I unfroze my credit for a few days. This is the only credit bureau I can't do online (it just doesn't work) so I did it over their automated phone system. Called back the utility, still frozen; waited a few hours and called again, still frozen. I had a confirmation number from Equifax but what good could that do me??? I called again today, a few days later, and they got the info they needed so I didn't have to pay a $375 deposit. I asked the utility to deliver my complain to management that they are still using Equifax, the very reason we froze our credit in the first place. I had to unfreeze all three credit bureaus when we bought our new home, got insurance and other utilities, and all went smoothly.

Ooooo.... it comes with a video we can play in our lobby! https://taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/roadmap

If you’ll look at Form 4506-T, I believe Line 8 indicates you can get Wage and Income Transcripts as far back as ten years.

Copied from Tax Pro Today: The IRS has started issuing Letter 226J penalty notices for the 2017 tax year, along with other penalty assessments related to ACA enforcement. IRS staff is spending more time reviewing potential ACA violations, and putting the onus on employers to prove they have complied with the law. Here are some signs that the IRS is becoming more assertive in efforts to enforce the ACA: The IRS has started issuing Letter 226J penalty notices for ACA noncompliance under IRC Section 4980H for the 2017 tax year. The tax agency just completed sending its Letter 226J penalty notices in June to employers the agency believed failed to comply with the ACA in the 2016 tax year. This is the quickest we have seen the tax agency transition from issuing penalty notices from one tax year to the next, a sign that IRS ACA enforcement activities are escalating. The IRS has indicated it is now limiting extension requests to one 30-day extension for each IRS notice received in the penalty process, requiring employers to act with even more urgency in responding to a penalty notice. IRS staff is paying greater attention to the methodology and data used in employers’ determination of full-time employees in ACA filings for the 2017 tax year. This is a deeper level of review than undertaken for previous tax years. ACA penalties are often triggered by employers providing inaccurate information on the number of full-time workers they employ. The IRS is asking individual taxpayers to obtain documents from their employers to prove they were entitled to receive premium tax credits (PTCs) to offset health insurance purchased through government exchanges. Employers are being required to provide proof that they filed ACA information with the IRS. Over the past few years, many employers relied on do-it-yourself software and payroll companies to submit ACA information to the IRS on their behalf. In some cases, the software and payroll companies thought they submitted the information electronically to the IRS, not realizing the submissions were never accepted. Now, many employers are realizing the IRS never received their submissions and, as a result, are being issued ACA penalty notices. Expect IRS staff to insist that employers obtain submission acceptance notices to prove they filed with the IRS as part of their defense to have ACA penalty assessments dismissed. With the IRS becoming more aggressive in its enforcement activities and with ACA penalties potentially in the millions of dollars, accountants may want to advise clients they believe to be vulnerable to undertake an ACA Penalty Risk Assessment. This assessment can determine if employers are considered to be an Applicable Large Employer by the IRS, and if they are at risk of receiving IRS penalties under IRC Section 4980H. This assessment involves a review of IRS Forms 1094-C and 1095-C. Some outside experts may offer to undertake this assessment at no cost. It’s also a good time for accountants to check with their clients that have more than 50 full-time employees to determine if they have been filing ACA information with the IRS annually, as required by law. If they have not, they may be at risk of receiving significant ACA penalties under IRC Section 6721/6722. Accountants should work with these employers to file this information as soon as possible to avoid receiving an IRS Letter 5005A penalty notice. Now is the time for accountants to check-in with their business clients to discuss their ACA compliance process to determine if they may be at risk of paying significant financial penalties to the IRS because they have failed to comply with the ACA. I have been preparing and submitting by mail for the last 4 years the required forms for my largest client who is an ALA with more than 50 employess. "Expect IRS staff to insist that employers obtain submission acceptance notices to prove they filed with the IRS as part of their defense to have ACA penalty assessments dismissed." Last year my client ended up paying a $ 9,000 penalty for 2015 for not providing health insurance. Haven't received an assessment for 2016, which could be about $25,000. I have never heard of "submission acceptance notices". I guess I should find out what they are. Although, I don't think I will request one in fear of triggering a letter !

I did as B Aja I suggested. The attachment was s corp shareholder basis worksheet. But the tax return had the very same basis worksheet. Efiled and it went through as did the state return.

You'll want to properly move your ATX data to the new computer. Do NOT just export/import to the new computer or you'll lose all your preferences and customizations. CAVEAT: THE 2018 PROGRAM DATA FOLDER CHANGED TO WOLTERS KLUWER.

I will remove the attachment and Efile the return. If accepted, i will mail the attachment. Will not hurt. My 2 cents.

VASEA has seminars and monthly meetings. Very active group.

After seeing this, clients shouldn't complain about their fees. Who am I kidding, they'll still complain.

I moved into this new place (not new - old place actually) in the fall of 2015. So this will mark 4 years in September so I feel that I'm "established" here. In April some new people moved into the apartment upstairs. It's a fairly small apartment and there are 4 of them, which includes a toddler and a baby. In the front, where you approach my door, their door is right next to mine. There a small exterior alcove there as you enter, where the mailboxes are mounted, and where I have a rug to catch some winter mud. But it's not really a very big spot. And these people are in it all the time. Smoking there cigarettes and vapes. They put the baby in a stroller that sits at the very bottom of the stairs just inside their door and they sit out there and smoke. I AM SO ANNOYED! I have said something to the landlord twice. And each time I thought the problem was fixed. But after a few days, they are right back out there again. They are not real loud or obnoxious. They are not friendly. But they just stand around or sit around and smoke. Let alone the butts in the flower/tree area near the street. UGH! I don't know what to do about this one. I don't want to be a total jerk, but - come on!
