It's always nice to hear a positive story. My dealings with ATX Support have been predominately positive and I'm happy to see Black Bart had a similar experience in this case.

I'm assuming you're on ATX. This may sound silly, but have you tried calling support yet? I know it's like flipping a coin as to whether the tech agent is (pick one) good/okay/terrible, but we recently bought two new WIN 10s and had some problems getting the rollovers to work. Since we aren't particularly computer-literate it's (as you may know) like being on the dark side of the moon trying to comprehend the jargon (it's overwhelming). Anyway, we called on a Friday about 15 minutes before closing and described our problem. She said "Well, that's going to take a while to fix; why don't I call you back at ten Monday morning." I thought - "Yeah, sure." But, Monday at 10 A.M. on the dot, our phone rang and it was her. She got our ID and so forth; she already had our past years info, remotely downloaded all of it to us, walked us (each computer) through the whole process successfully. It took about an hour. Her name was Emma and we tried to get her extension number for future use, but they won't give you one - you just have to take pot luck and hope they are cooperative. Anyway, you may have already been through the wringer and this may not help, but just thought I'd offer it. Max support line is 1-800-638-8291 (if that doesn't work call the sales number - that always gets you to somebody). Hours are 8:30 A.M. to 6:30 P.M. Eastern. Good luck.

Doing this may fix the problem. Opening the return in the original year will update the return(s) to the current version of the software.

Unless they can get a contract between the paying company and the corporation, they are out of luck. Case law is very clear when it comes to assignment of income to corporations. First of all, there must be a contract between the corporation and the payer. Secondly, there must be an employment contract which recognizes the corporation's controlling position.

The cousin's wife had a regular IRA and neither she nor the attorney she used evidently had an understanding of the beneficiary designation. She went to an attorney and did not advise her husband who after her death was presented with this surprise. The fiduciary as stated simply placed the assets into his account. They lived in Florida. These IRA assets were a settlement from her first husband. She had signed a divorce settlement stipulating that if he outlived her the remaining IRA assets in her account would revert to him. It was quite an interesting mess to say the least. As far as my client is now concerned he is going to sit down with the respective fiduciaries and do what's best and I'll get on the phone and get my own in order as well. Thanks again.

To be straight forward with you Edsel, if your clients truly need or want (which I cannot Imagine) financial information prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, then you need to refer them to someone who is both qualified and licensed to provide that information. GAAP is huge and encompassing. It has nothing to do with filling in a balance sheet on form 1065 or as you say "doing our job correctly". But FYI, you do not report deferred taxes for a pass through entity.

I am very curious as to how checks paid to individuals and 1099 income reported to the IRS in Box 7 with the matching SSN numbers of the same individuals is reported as Corporate Revenue. What would be the logical justification ? Frankly, my creative imagination doesn't stretch that far.

Basically they are office sharing and each individual would deduct there share of the expenses on their own a Schedule C. This is very similar to what Real Estate Agents have to do. I don't see any way to set up a business entity in these circumstances!
