Medlin is in the process of adding efiling of W 2s and 1099s for next year

How do I get rid of news feed on Firefox? Click the "Display Your Bookmarks" icon -- a transparent star on a gray background -- on the Navigation toolbar, if available. Select "Bookmarks Toolbar," locate the news feed folder you want to disable, right-click it and select "Delete."

Yeah, me too. It is what makes Max worth the price. Tom Longview, TX

Long-time Firefox here also, and my Bookmarks Toolbar is empty. It's been set up so long ago, I didn't know that news feed would be there, and that would be annoying to have junk stories as I work..

Sometimes though, it is a holdup on the states' side of the testing, not the software vendor.

Does not sound like a partnership to me. Not enough information to tell what it is. Sounds like legal advice is needed. Regardless of the determination letter, I am curious of how the entity will meet the public support test going forward. Otherwise 990-N is not allowed and 990-PF needs to be filed even if receipts are less than $50,000.

I use Medlin for my small payroll and I use ATX for the 1099s. Maybe we can sweet talk our friends at Medlin to offer a 1099 program.

Also a longtime user of Firefox. Never had the issue you describe. I keep my New Tab clean. I use Ecosia for searches now because it's private and they use profits to plant trees. They have a Firefox extension now. https://www.ecosia.org/

I have not seen any reference in Sec 1.170A-1 that allows a charitable contribution as a reduction of gross income vs reporting on Schedule A. In fact 1.170A-1 refers back to sec 170 which states "A charitable contribution shall be allowable as a deduction only if verified under regulations prescribed by the Secretary." Off the top of my head, I am only aware of one case where a charitable contribution is allowed as a reduction of income which is a Qualified Charitable Distribution, other than a special rule for C Corps. While Sec 1.170A-1 does give an example of grain to a charity, it does not imply that the donated grain was omitted from income vs reported on Schedule A.

I use Firefox too, once you turn off the feed it's clean. But fyi, DuckDuckGo is a search engine not a browser (unless that's changed). I tried switching to them for searches, and got the most bizarre non-results. Searched for something regarding APTC, got one article from Forbes about it, but all the other results were Wiki pages for people and places and things that had zip to do with my question. Kinda turned me off them, lol. Though I would like to switch out of using Google.

If they're low income to the point of EIC &/or have CTC: The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act requires the IRS to hold refunds for taxpayers who claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) until after February 14, in order to prevent tax fraud. The IRS expects most EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or on debit cards by March 3 if they chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with their tax return. Otherwise, you have a teaching moment about w/h and can be a hero by helping your clients get more in their take-home pay.

DANRVAN, thanks for this message. I will discuss with client about next steps recommended. I still think 990-N is good for 2024 as nothing has happened with the 'arrangement' to date other than the transfer of the $5000. I agree about the public support concern but it is still valid for 2024. Client will not be mine after this year - whew!

I followed Lee's instructions, even though some of my icons were different (probably I have a different version than Lee). So far, so good. If they recur, I'll holler. Thanks

I have not filed the form in that situation, but that is just my opinion.

I have not seen an authoritative cite that either allows it or disallows it, including https://www.calt.iastate.edu/blogpost/gifting-commodities-instead-cash-often-reduces-taxes posted above. While the article does refer to some regs in regards to the the related expenses of the donated crops, it does not cite any authority relating to "rules for gifting a raised commodity directly to the charity" which it describes in the article.

Yeah, I'm staying as far away from W11 as is humanly possible. During the filing season? Not just no, but no possible way on God's green earth not ever no way no how no!

We have a couple of Fujitsu ScanSnaps at the office, and they are great little workhorses. Love the duplex scanning.

I also use EFileMyForms and it's a great bargain. Easy and fast to use, and you get pdf copies instantly. Plus confirmations when 1099s are mailed, e-filed, and accepted.

I would not worry about a single part year return. In Bindley quoted above, the rule is that the benefit of the work was received in CA. In your case, you could argue that the benefit of the work is received in OH, where your client sits at the time you deliver the work papers. If your client was in CA when you delivered the work, you would be subject to the rules above. At least that is how I read it. FYI, I have a lot of clients in CA and I apportion my income in the state and out of the state. Tom Longview, TX
