Who exactly is going to claim the deduction? The estate cannot claim the deduction, because it can only deduct donations that come out of income and then only if the will specifies. The "family" is how many people? Do any of them even itemize? This query may be all sound and fury that ends up signifying nothing.

I too have had ATX for 20 some years. I actually tried out Drake and didn't like it. ATX is a good software for a small business. I like that I input from a screen that looks like the form. But I started out old school filing in the blanks on a tax return by pencil. So I feel comfortable using the forms and not relying on input prompts. I haven't had any complaints (since that little issue in 2012.....) (2012?) (The older users will know.....)

Usually, the IRS will only allow a late year S-corp election to go back two years.

DOING A SCH C AND SCH F, putting in interest paid like I've done forever, and now it won't carryover to the schedule. What am I doing wrong, or have marked wrong.

never mind. The 8890 was in the return, once i took that out, it all figured correctly

I can override, which works, but I don't like to do that

Same here.

Not quite. Rather, it's because the answers actively HIDE until you give up and ask. Then they pop out at you, snickering, as if they had been there the whole time.

Sometimes I think I post on here just to bring stuff to my own attention.

I have not used Lacerte, but from my understanding, you will be losing a lot of bells and whistles. But getting away from Intuit can't be a bad thing. ATX user since 2000. Tom Longview, TX
