Talk about the stone age. I need to learn how to use a scanner. I have a brand new one in the box and my son told me that it is obsolete and won't work with Win 11. It is painful to have to admit this.

I have a Fujitsu ScanSnap IX1500, my second. It's fast, scans double-sided and takes up very little space. I thought it was also a good price.

Thank you very much, Lee. I hate that we have to be so suspicious in this day and age!

Just use your own business email address, nobody cares.

Be careful with your optional upgrades. No sense inviting trouble during the busy season. https://www.windowslatest.com/2025/01/23/microsoft-is-now-officially-rolling-out-windows-11-24h2-on-windows-10-as-an-optional-upgrade/amp/

Same.

Is this the first form 943 for this farmer? Maybe this to consider from the instructions:

re: the zip code, I realize that the official pronouncements indicate the county. I only mentioned the zip code because the IRS used that to include that ever so helpful insert for you to consider the disaster relief for your late filing. Without indicating why you filed late, the IRS' system just saw a late return but based on your zip code, said you might be able to use the disaster relief as the reason. Your post trigger the memory of paper-filed returns with notations at the top such as "filed pursuant to blah, blah" and was the reason I asked. My return is usually one of the earlier ones filed because I use it as the test.

Yeah, I used to do that too until I missed the October 15th deadline Now my return is one of the first ones that I file.

I've used efilemyforms.com for a few years with ease.

Copied from the American Payroll Association: https://info.payroll.org/pdfs/news/14g07-InquiryPINs.pdf Looks like it's legitimate

Fujitsu, any of their price ranges that fits your budget, is the workhorse of scanners. I have an old Fi-6130z, and gave away my older Fi ScanSnap to my daughter-in-law's company. CCH Scan & Flow suggested a slightly newer model scanner than the Fi-6130z, but I haven't upgraded yet. At one time, CCH could offer good prices on Fujitsu, so you might want to check with your sales rep and then compare on Amazon or whatever site.

I e-filed thru Drake and already accepted.

Yes, it was supposed to open at 9am ET today.

Yes, Rev. Proc. 2013-13 Section 4 .03 Year-by-year determination. A taxpayer may elect from taxable year to taxable year whether to use the safe harbor method or to calculate and substantiate actual expenses for purposes of § 280A. A taxpayer elects the safe harbor method by using the method to compute the deduction for the qualified business use of a home on his or her timely filed, original federal income tax return for the taxable year. An election for any taxable year, once made, is irrevocable. A change from using the safe harbor method in one year to actual expenses in a succeeding taxable year, or vice-versa, is not a change in method of accounting and does not require the consent of the Commissioner. An election for any taxable year, once made, is irrevocable (This is meaning if your client made the election in 2023 to use the standard method, the election cannot be changed for the 2023 year.
