Don't hold back Pencil....tell us how you really feel. I would never buy an HP for the reasons you state. Tom Longview, TX

Code 4 isn't subject to the 10% penalty.

Back in the 80s, 90s, and maybe early 2000s, HPs were supposedly the best. Today they're worthless garbage. I've bought three. The first two were good but I don't think they lived up to their reputation. The third I bought in 2011. This was before HP required HP toner cartridges, tried to trick users into signing up for ink subscriptions, and remotely turned off printers, but it was still worthless trash. Takes forever to warm up when turned on, prints at half it's stated speed, noisily re-calibrates numerous times per day even if nothing has been printed, and nosily runs a cleaning routine numerous times per day even if nothing has been printed. Now that HP requires their own ink cartridges and is turning off peoples' printers, I'm surprised anyone still buys their junk.

Fixed Assets: Asset Global settings State Calc

Is there a place on schedule E input or fixed asset input to tell ATX this is in NY (the non-res state) not in AZ (the res state) so it calculates the correct state info? I feel like I'm asking a lot of questions lately. Time for another donation.

The "switch" has been my experience, but I might have only 3 printers of all kinds at any time. In the 90s, I quickly moved from Bother to HP and stuck with HP for decades as they lasted and lasted. Now my workhorse is the Brother that prints returns, thanx to my IT guy's recommendation. My IT guy's experience, servicing hundreds of clients a year, has him recommending Brother printers now. I'll be adding 1-2 more Brothers this year. One of my clients worked for HP for years (no longer) and told me HP bought technology from Canon, so he uses Canon in his home office.

You are thinking like a human. Software works differently. It's broken down into modules and there would be a module for CTC, CCC, RMD, etc. Each has several lines of query. for example with CTC, there would be a module for each dependent. All that stuff from form 8867 , 15 lines are queried. What you check off as 'yes' or 'no', in the computer sw comes out as 'true' or 'false'. In the cas of CTC and the other modules requiring birthdate, the computer sw has an algorithm. It would be something like this - CD - YrOB > 16. Current year - yr of birth is greater than 16. If this is True, then the credit gets denied. If it is false, then it passes. The point is that all Birth years are compared, not any selected ones. The actual software is likely written a little differently, but thi is the basic gist of what's going on.

I've always used HP. Will continue. Not too many years to go. I have the low end ones. Not any problems. I assume the other big names are good too.

I have used HP for years, but if and when I have to replace my printer it won't be with HP for the reasons given above. In fact, the last HP fax machine that we had in the office was the reason I switched to an electronic fax service.

I have four HPs in my main office and have had no issues to speak of. Of course, they are all older models and some are refurbished. I also have a HP Color printer for special things. Couldn't ask for anything better. I always use off brand toners from Amazon and V4ink. If I get a bad one, they replace immediately.

Adults have tax milestones too, like when they turn 59 1/2 and 65.

If MFS and low income (less than 400% poverty level?), there's a cap on repayment of APTC that can keep the amount owed lower. There are exceptions for spousal abuse and living separate and...,so make sure you answer all the requirements correctly. I would NOT expect another $522 in PTC if MFS and living together.

Decades ago when I was at Block, they told us the SSN + 1st 4 letters of last name -- and for CHILDREN (dependents?), birthdates. The only reject I ever had for birthdates was for children: new client with 2 kids, and I switched the birthdates. Reject. Made the correction and e-filed.

In addition to the depreciation report for the current year, it also gives you the depreciation for next tax year.

I miss my Brother printer. When it died I replaced it with an HP, which works well enough but can be very annoying as well. Checking in with the mothership to make sure I'm using "real" HP cartridges, deciding to stop and recalibrate halfway through a print job, waiting up to a minute before printing in case I decide to override which paper feed to use (when only one has any paper in it). They are "improving the user experience" to the point of wanting to take a sledgehammer to the thing on occasion. But the print quality - once it deigns to start - is terrific, as is the speed, and the ease of duplex printing.

When you enter the items on the 4562 input , the program creates the depreciation report. You can see the report when you view the return.
