I found how to change my settings back to allow the desktop notifications. For anyone else using Firefox that is interested: to turn these on or off, or to see the settings for any of the plug-ins for a particular site, right click on a blank section of the page and choose "view page info" and then select "permissions" at the top. Scroll down to see the selections with this one being under "show notifications".

Yes, exactly this and what Rita said also. I don't charge for calls that are quick either. Giving away a couple of minutes of my time is good client relations and builds goodwill, and the clients recognize that and send me referrals. Other reasons for that are because that 2-3 minute phone conversation will save ME headaches later by allowing a bookkeeper to record the transaction properly and will produce a better set of books for the client and for me, or that smart client that has found the correct answer and only wants affirmation.

@Gail in Virginia , thanks!

@Eric , lemme know. I can't figure out how to turn it back on now. lol Will have to work on that. ETA - Looks like that is an add-on in Firefox and that would probably be annoying as the forum gets busier over the coming months. I'm on frequently enough so I'm skipping that for now.

Would these come through if I didn't have a tab opened up to the site or only if one mentions my name? I received a popup in the upper left at the address bar after the upgrade asking if I wanted to receive the notifications. I declined it initially after seeing other FF users say that it was annoying, but I could see that it might be helpful to turn it on.

Those quote and edit functions are very nice and welcome changes. Once again, thanks for taking good care of us!

Looks good, Eric. I like the features and options in the activity feed section. As far as editing, I've had trouble editing since the last upgrade because of a red paragraph break that would appear. That seems to be gone now, at least I hope it is.

I opened this subject and moved the above post from another unrelated topic so to not hijack it into a discussion of billing practices.

Good morning MBjunket. This forum is set up for professional tax preparers that use a particular brand of tax program to help help each other, and we don't provide taxpayer assistance to the general public. Your best course of action is to call the main IRS number at 1-800-829-1040 and ask these questions of an IRS representative.

Form C-EZ and schedule SE.

I agree, Easy and KC, and I didn't read far enough into the form's instructions that were expanded by another 4 pages or so over last year's instructions. I hope it's wrong too, but looking at the form's codes, now I don't think so.

Those persons on CHIP, Medicaid, Medicare, Medicare Advantage or Basic Health Program will not receive a 1095-B because those are forms of coverage through the government, so the gov't already knows about the coverage and there is no need for this form to report those types of coverage. That is stated on page one of the instructions of 1095-B under the caption "Insured Coverage" . I didn't read through all of the links, so if you did see something there to the contrary would you please point it out? Thanks.

Or set the clocks back, go to bed and don't worry about the clocks. The time will be correct when you get up tomorrow. I stay up late enough that I'll be adjusting the time before going to bed.

Link is safe but isn't to Forbes. It goes to The Daily Signal, a news page of The Heritage Foundation. In case anyone notices the facebook reference at the end of the link, one does not need to be signed up or signed in to Facebook for the link to work.

Yep, that memorandum jmdavis linked to is excellent. In addition to that but nothing official, here's a blurb from a group called Transportation Intermediaries Association where the third paragraph says that the type of freight might also make a difference in deciding whether reporting is required, where household goods are not classified as freight. This one from the IRS procedural manual for 1099 reporting, it is credit card payment reporting, but the table at .03 on page 5-6 shows that MCC 4214 motor freight carriers falls under 1.6041-3( c), which you probably already found. This has a broken link but gives food for thought about using 1099s as evidence that the payments are to independent haulers and not employees.

I agree with John that his solution would be the easiest for all concerned, especially since the error is a typo that is easily explained.

New members do not know that though, so I have to agree with JohnH and KC about being more welcoming of new members, not subjecting them to undeserved personal attacks.

Jack, enough with the snarks and little quips. Your remarks in your first post suggesting that this new member cannot afford the software or needs a course in budgeting were out of line. This person posted a concern regarding the company's handling of sales tax compared with that of other software vendors and provided a link to a useful map of sales tax rules by state, and has now voiced concerns over the company's overall treatment of its customers, its policies and pricing. There's no reason anyone here should not be able to discuss these issues as they do pertain to the ATX software and CCHSFS.

He wouldn't be a pet except that he was orphaned when only a few days old and was found by a rancher that turned him over to his rescuer.

I'm surprised that no one here has spotted or commented on the irony of the source of the map contained in the OP's link? "Source: Commerce Clearing House" aka known as CCH.

Margaret, if you search on youtube, the rescue woman has posted others of Teddy also, one where he gets Christmas gifts. He is really cute, isn't he?

Gene, I think you would owe that sales tax because Drake sends out the first release of the software on CD in December, so that would be canned software on tangible, and you would be taxed regardless because AL also taxes the canned software received via download also.

From the map in your link, the State of FL does require sales tax be collected on tangible goods including that software on CD. Depending on the package that you purchase, some of the larger packages that ATX offers also includes research materials in print (Max, TTO, Advantage, etc), so purchasers of those products are receiving tangible goods from ATX.

I've never heard of this, but I agree that you should be careful. Also, please be careful if this came to you through as unsolicited email and be careful with any links provided. When I googled to find the company, one of the hits was to a site called siglosoftware dot com having a description that included "provides the speed tax preparers need to work efficient and produce..." I'm not sure if that is related to the company making this offer, but if it is, please be aware that without even visiting that site I was getting red warnings about that site being high risk, dangerous and containing malicious links.
