I buy the 1040 package for family and friends. It costs about 1,000 and you can do up to 75 1040 forms at no extra charge with up to 3 states. Entity returns are about 75 each extra. I charge for some of the returns I do and that ends up being more than the cost of the software.

I don't know if anyone on here is mainly retired, except for immediate family and self. My consultant sent me a PRS package for $799. I'm not even sure what all it includes. I will have to call him. I don't even know what else is out there yet. I am not getting paid, I just don't want to force my family to a big box place. I had forgotten that I still will have my C Corp to prepare, but most of the family will be fairly simple. I will probably keep the Corporation open until the statute of limitations is over with tail insurance. I am hoping that I can just paper file it in the future, because it won't have any income. I wasn't even going to think about this until after I got more caught up. I decided today that I am going to get a full knee replacement in 11 weeks so I had better get my work done. My ortho said today that I am in so much pain because my knee has so much bone on bone and that he cut out so much of my miniscus to repair it that I lost a lot of my knee support. I could not figure out why my knee kept feeling like my shin was breaking below it and I miss being active. I worked out every day until this mess happened. I know that PT will be tough, but it's better than continuing cortisone shots and not improving. If any one has retirement tips, please pass them on. I will be calling the state board to see about turning my permit inactive (just in case this is a big mistake and I can't find a part time job in Colorado that will get me out of the much smaller condo.) Thanks! Bonnie

You can only downgrade to Windows 10 within the 10 days of your upgrade.

Just give you a comparison, I have used Drake PPR for the last 2 years. For the 2024 tax season it will cost $350, which includes 10 personal returns. Additional personal returns are $40 and additional business returns are $60.

So it will be $11 until the third party contract is renegotiated in 2026 at which time the PTIN fee will probably be revised again. https://www.thetaxadviser.com/news/2024/may/regulations-finalize-ptin-fees-for-tax-return-preparers.html#:~:text=The IRS arrived at the,training%2C supplies%2C and overhead.

This is how you uninstall a normal Windows update. I don't know if this will work in your situation?

How could the depreciation be that much unless that also includes office equipment and furniture? I thought home office was 39 year property?

This may well not help that much but I am a bit surprised about the amount of HO depreciation. Does that also include allocation of expenses? Would it be worth checking for the Simplified Method of $5 per square foot. There would be no depreciation, etc. but also no recapture and may not be as large an impact on the overcontribution.

I am keeping the full MAX for one more year at least. My husband and son are a Partnership and I am still training my assistant. I haven't found anything else that would fill all of my needs right now, although I want to start cutting back. I thought that the full Tax Act was enticing, but not enough of a savings to justify the stress and worry of learning a new program. I am getting tired, but hate to waste my knowledge. Family and friends are being wrapped up now after the rush is over (including my own). It's been a pleasure working with all of you.

A Microsoft update appeared as necessary for me to schedule. It did not announce that the update was to change from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I didn't want Windows 11 and all the garbage that Microsoft wanted me to have that comes with it, not to mention the change in navigation. Is there any way to get Windows 10 back? Thanks in advance for advice.
