ATX does not have built in macros but there's plenty of macro software out there. The one I currently use is AutoHotkey but they just released a major upgrade (2.0) and I'm still in 1.x. It's not the easiest or most logical macro software. I needed help and a lot of examples to even begin using it. But currently, I'm not using any macros in ATX, because there isn't anything I needed to automate in ATX, but I do have some simple typing macros when saving PDF files like: :*:ef=:: Send, Efile Forms return :*:es=:: Send, Estimated Tax return :*:tr=:: Send, Tax Returns return In all of the above examples, the = is the trigger key, so I type tr followed by the = sign and it type Tax Returns for me. I also have my ATX password in a macro so when ATX asks for it, I don't have to type it out or press Enter. You can even use a single key like Pause/Break to enter your password and press the Enter key.

For an authoritative cite see 1.16-2(c) which has been referred to in many cases. "Where, however, pursuant to an agreement or understanding, services are rendered to a person for the benefit of an organization described in section 170(c) and an amount for such services is paid to such organization by the person to whom the services are rendered, the amount so paid constitutes income to the person performing the services."

Makes sense. I cannot have my income go to something else, say our daughter's able account to bypass it being my income. I have those crazy thoughts as I transition to having enough SS wage history to begin to look at lowering wages and increasing non wage income. Likely will be a good old minimum reasonable wage and more dist at some point.

Very true - but the reason to contact support at EFMF is to make sure only the RIGHT one(s) get filed. I don't recall their process.
