The IRS has said that for ITINs and ATINs (which they issue), they will consider it issued by the due date of the return if the application is received by the due date and the TIN is eventually issued as a result. They have not said the same for SSNs, which they don't issue, but it can't hurt to try.

For anyone who is covered under Hiscox insurance and wondering if you are covered to assist any clients with the BOI requirements, Hiscox is not providing any coverage. I spoke with an agent yesterday who really didn't seem to understand what the BOI was. After explaining it a few times, they finally said we are not covered whether a CPA or EA.

I have used a desktop for so many years that I really have no interest in trying to use a laptop for work.

I did have the pneumonia vaccine twice and reacted badly to both. I have had breathing issues for four years, since I was ill for 12 days, four years ago; just before Covid was a word. My hospital Doc said that I have been ill for a long time and fighting it on my own . Breathing issues for four years and it finally tried to take me out.I fought so hard to get rid of the oxygen and breathe on my own. I am pretty stubborn. To tell you the truth, I wasn't sure I could do it, but I had already purchased my tax program and had a lot of unfinished work to do. They fixed me up just fine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture_family A type or processor/CPU. The leading processor for mobile phones, and with this iteration, a real challenger to Intel for computers (because of the power/heat optimization). In some ways, we are seeing or about to see another BetaMax vs VHS scenario. Intel is BetaMax, and ARM devices are VHS (because ARM can be licensed and made by other CPU manufacturers). This time, BetaMax/Intel will likely survive as having the dominant share at present, but ARM/VHS will likely compete well because of their advantages as well as having not built a very good system to run Intel based software on their processors. The current Intel debacle, with processors failing and needing replacement (and not being actively recalled) will only help ARM more. I have not used an Apple PC since an Apple II in school, but I have and use one of the new ARM based machine daily. It could work to be my main, except my main is a dual screen ZenBook which is very handy. At present, you will see these processors marketed in the Windows CoPilot+ machines, like the Surface Pro 11. Other machines will be available shortly, if not already available.

Judy has the track I would take - get proof of application, show it was the government itself that caused the delay. Much better chance of getting approval.

If the other accountant wants something in writing , they should provide the release document

NATP used to have sample letters for information release but they may have mostly related to the release of tax information and you would have to be a member of NATP to access them from their website. And I truthfully don't know if they are still available on the site, so I really like Abby's suggestion best.

Thanks Terry, I have used Hiscox for years. Even if they did offer coverage, I still wouldn't assist my clients with BOI. I am informing them of the CTA and BOI reporting.

What is ARM? I hate to be stupid, but I hate when people use abbreviations that I don't understand. Sorry, Dennis, I respect your knowledge and I am always wanting to learn new things. TIA (HaHa)

That lengthy discussion is here with which credits would have been allowed with SSN, ITIN, or ATIN. I don't think it would work because the SSN is supposed to have been received in order to claim these credits, but does the client have proof of when application for the SSN was made and can prove that the delay was the government?

IRS won’t even notice, they only care for the revenue and expenses, correct useful life and personal use.

Glad you're on the mend and were wise enough to seek help! Did you have the pneumonia vaccine? I've had both the shingles and pneumonia vaccines. I have breathing issues and had bad bronchitis a few years back.
