  5. I combine donations to the same place for a single entry. Otherwise, it is all manual input. Charge your client accordingly. You are only adhering to IRS regulations by doing all the input. YOU did not cause the work. Charge the client. P.S. I think the designer of that input screen is from CO and was high when he created it!

  6. Yup, and I'm not really tied to any one particular area of the city, besides where my friends live, and the proximity to a grocery store. So I'm looking for the perfect house. I really like shopping real estate (I've found every property I've ever bought, not the agent) so I've already set up filters on realtor.com and getting alerts on particular properties I've saved. Now there is one I'm interested in that isn't finished....but it will be a million dollar property once it is and the price is well in range. Gotta see it so I know what it still needs and even more important, if what it needs is within range of pay someone to finish it. Yeah, I think I'm incurable. Damn, I'm excited though! Finally getting out of Sacramento!

  7. SE with profit. 1095-B for three months, about $600, terminated. 1095-A for 9 months, subsidized. I got the $600 to flow as SEHI on line 29. But, she made more than the prior year and is repaying $488 that was subsidized. Do I get to add that to her $600 as SEHI? I hate Obamacare. (Yeah, spreadsheets made lots of iterations already.)

  8. Neither do I. I plagiarized the first paragraph from Wikipedia and should have given them credit. Since I an am not a politician and therefore will be held to higher standards for my sttnkin falsifications that I posted, give me a break, I was only being serious.

  9. My take from Cred65's post is that there will not be any artificial intelligence available for a reasonable (or totally correct) answer. Then again, why would we need to ask it, we have www.atxcommunity.com

  10. This is good advice, if you don't believe in ghosts. The first house I owned there was a SIDS death (found out years later). I swore I heard a baby crying at times, or maybe it was my old Mita printer groaning.. One other thing, finding a house that was over improved for the comps in the area would be a great find. You just have to know the market and look at a lot of houses.

  13. I have a cartoon somewhere (can't find it now) on "How Tax Software Should Work" that shows a guy dumping all his papers into a big funnel on top of his computer. It's cute.
