Always good to have a reminder. Signs of Stroke

while I am almost totally paperless, for me its more for storage than working files. I pdf everything but keep the paper for the 3 open years then shred. as an old timer I just like paper for working. My offsite storage is almost empty but my current files are nice and full. Every 10/15 they get purged of the oldest year.

I am also a middle child. Suck it up, buttercup.

​I am hurt. Oh well. I am a middle child - I guess I have to accept that I will be middle of everything else in life too.

It IS a lot easier to read now than it was immediately after the transition. We also now have a line of blue dashes across the page just above the first new unread post. Nice!

​ATX does not e-file W-2's. The program creates a file and you upload them to the SS site.

IMHO: $1,785 is not a material amount. If possible, you could track it down in client's books and correct the date of the transaction(s) to 2014 before finishing the 2014 tax return (preferred). We can assume the 2013 tax return is correct, and the client's 2014 books are wrong due to his violation of the closing period. Or simply report the amount as 2014 income and finish the tax return now rather than amend the 2013, and then spend the necessary time to find the badly dated transaction(s) in client's books and fix them later. This would not be my advice if the amount was material. I wouldn't change the balance sheet or the M-2 or create a prior period adjustment as these options will result in an understatement of income. This is a timing issue and a relatively small amount, but I would still recognize it as income either in 2013 by amending the return or else in 2014 by adding it to gross revenues.

​That's fine, as long as I have someone else to blame for not catching it

Jack, I have never gotten the AccuWage to work right - so gave up on that. CBSLEE, yours is a great idea. I will ask Bill Fox to provide the efile fee information in writing. We'll see how much he waffles.

​Lynn, Thanks for the info. I think I am going to request this in writing before I renew. We all know that the ATX Sales Department and the rest of the company don't seem to be working with the same information often enough for all of us to be wary. "Trust but Verify !"

I mail the few that I have just to aggravate somebody.

​Double work. Create the e-file, download the free accuwage tool which checks the file, then upload the file to SS. I despise double entering data. One more chance for me to make an error.

Rich, We went paperless with payroll returns two years ago and with business workpapers one year ago. It's been great. We scan client records like bank statements and print all QuickBooks reports, spreadsheets, etc. to a pdf. Our client files are becoming more empty every year. Joe

​Yes, it has to have happened to someone. I was hoping someone here in order to avoid calling tech support. That's always a long process and the last thing I want to do. Always. The first thing I do is update. The middle thing I do is ask you guys.

Bill Fox, my account representative just called me, trying to jump start my renewal. I asked him about these fees, and his response: 1 - no fees to efile W2's (not sure why but that's what he said) 2 - fees to efile 1099's are not per 1099, but per client. So if you have 10 clients, each with 10 1099's, you will pay 10 x $1.50 to efile the 100 1099's. 3 - he said my Max renewal is up about $60, compared to 2014's cost. 4 - cost for Max will increase by about $140 on 6/1. Hope this helps, Lynn

If it is only happening in Sage, then it is a program problem with Sage. Check for program updates, call tech support and ask what the fix is. There has to be others that have experienced the same thing.

Disk space consumed is disk space consumed, no matter the percentage of consumption. I think that the difference can be attributed to the backups that were taking up disk space on the old server that I didn't migrate to the new one. Props for the Seinfeld reference anyway though

I agree with cbslee. I'd write a letter to the IRS and provide the information you provided here. The worst they can do is say no.

​Actually, the entry was most likely recorded to 2013 in error, a simple typo, since it was made after the 2013 books were closed.

Hey, I really did edit "to". Swear I did.

​Ok, you may be giving us way to much credit...

1200 / 100 returns is 12/return. Don't know how anyone could complain about that.

I guess I fixed it myself. I had atxcommunity in my browser compatibility folder, I deleted it and everything came back the way you all were seeing it. For a while I felt soooooooo left out. I couldn't post or anything, and boy did everything look weird. I think when I get use to the change I'm going to love it! Thanks Eric and All!
