L.S.

Thought we could do it today????

I have tried recreated this partnership, but still can't get it to go through with the 8879-PE. Last year I did e-file with the 8453. Guess I will just give up and paper file it.

If you are filing a return solely for the purpose of rebate, are you filing the state return too? I am in Iowa. thanks

Having same problem - errors 900 & 905.

Am trying to e-file 1065 with the 8879-PE and rejected - error 900 - the return type indicated in the return header must match the return type established with the IRS for the EIN and also error 905 - EFIN in the return header must be listed int eh e-file database and in accepted status. Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Thank you!

On the 8879-PE it states that returns that are not extensions should use the 8453-P. So shouldn't I use the 8453-P and not the 8879-PE????

I am confused. Yes, last year I used the 8453-P. When I try to open up new forms 8879 - there are 2 there - 8879-B and 8879-PE. Do I use one of these? Thanks

Anyone know when we can e-file 1065's?

Marilyn, I tried the search with MY ATX and got an error - help! thanks

I cannot get to MYATX. It says I am locked out - then I try again and it has the secret question - but there is no question there - grrrrrrrrr. At one time, all user names were admin - is this still true - how can I get to MYATX??????

Thanks, Margaret for your prompt reply - I knew there was a way to do this!

Thanks for the heads up, Byron. UGH........................

How can I print the 2008 depreciation sheet? thanks

Have a farmer with Combine purchased in 2007 that will be traded in 2008. He wants to use the Sec. 179 expensing. I know the rules on recapture with a sale - Cost minus dep. is adjusted basis - then gain is sales price minus adj. basis, but how is this done on a trade-in with boot paid? Wouldn't this be a bad idea to use Sec. 179 if he will be trading this in 2008? Thank you.

How many years would you depreciate geo system purchased for a residential rental house for $7400? 27.5 years??

I am trying to figure out on MYATX when we can e-file returns with Form 4136. On the download center it says form approved Feb. 11, but I have updated and still can't create an e-file with a 4136. Anyone have any info on this? thanks.

Freshman in college rec'd 1098-T with amount in Box 2 of 10,250 and amount in Box 5 for scholarships or grants of 11,000. Does the 750 difference need to be shown as income? if so, where?

Matured.

Client purchased double-tax exempt bonds on 10/3/88 for $1,000. In 2007 the bonds matured and he received 1099-B showing sales price of $3,487. How do I show this? I don't think it should show up on a Sch D. I know the IRS is going to be looking for the sales price on the tax return - where do I show this? thank you.

Pastor with Housing Allowance. Bought carpet on credit card in Dec. 07. Carpet installed in Jan. 08. Cost of carpet should be shown in 07 or 08? Thank you.

I e-filed all my 1099's 1/25/08. Status is validated by EFC. I have been checking for acknowledgments each day. Should these still say validated and not accepted yet? Thank you.

Actually, I just put in Acct. numbers for each one - 001, 002, etc. and that worked so I could then create the e-file. This might help someone else if they had a similar problem.

I am trying to create e-files for my prepared 1099-S's. I get the message that transferor # such and such has a duplicate or vague Tax ID. For multiple entries, enter unique account numbers. Yes, some of my transferors or sellers are the same as they sold several different properties during the year so I typed several 1099-S's - one for each property. Please help. I cannot change the transferors social security number or federal ID number. Is there any way to create e-files? Thank you.

I believe there are 2 - one for the federal return and one for the state return. We are just having clients sign one.
