Has anyone tried TaxSlayer Pro?
I don't think we can afford ProSeries so we'll probably go with Drake but I like to check out others.
I can't see on their website whether they have a conversion program or not.
Drake's conversion program converted 15 before I could tell it I only wanted 1, enthusiastic I guess.

Thanks for the replies. Has anyone used or looked at TaxSlayerPro?

Been with ATX since 98, had problems before but never like this. I've been looking at other programs on the net because frankly I don't think ATX isn't going to make it this year.
Did the demo of Drake, but it's a drastic difference from ATX.
Anyone have any experience with other software to recommend.

New partnership with 2 partners. Is form 8893 Election of Partnership Level Tax Treatment necessary or beneficial. What are the benefits of filing this form?

I finally got my ACKS, I transmitted some efiles and received my Acks afterward during the same session.

Must be an ATX thing, I'm getting it too. Sorry for your luck, but I was hoping it wasn't just me. I thought maybe something on my end had changed. It is April Fools, and that conficker virus has me spooked.

I just posted this on the other board also... I need help, the sooner the better.
Tech support is supposed to be open til 10 eastern starting tonight, I just called and the msg says the office is closed.
I just sent an email about a problem opening returns on a workstation... guess I have to wait til tomorrow........
When I try to open a return on the workstation I get a msg saying something
like "there was a problem with the rollover..." (the rolledover return works
fine on the server) the msg goes on to say that I need to open the return in
last years program and save it, then rollover again! That would mean that I
would have to completely have to reenter the return data!
Here is the msg in the !TAX2008_Errors.log file:
********** The program (version: 2008 . 6 . 127 Build: 11420 ) was just
started **********
01/12/09 7:21:22 PM
Please forward the following error
information to the development team.
Computer: DEB_EMACH User: Debbie
Routine: modForm.FormShow
Error Number: MX8.F1Book.1 - -2147024809
Description: Bad view handle in AttachToSS (wrong return or invalid handle)
**********
Anybody know anything about this? I tried to search knowledgebase for terms in the error msg with no luck.

Hi John,
Yeah, I consider it a best practice and intend to only roll over when we get the client back...

Nontaxable in Florida. LOL
I used MS Money and enter the buys and the sells works great.
Is that supposed to be some kind of a joke?

Haven't seen this before...
On the last page of client's H&R Block Financial Advisors 1099s packet...
It shows "non-federally reported activity" Option Sales and lists some 20 or so transactions Options Sales, doesn't say "put" or "call".
On the 1099B for 2 of the equity sales, it has a note that says "redemption for cash at maturity or sale of Structured Financial Product implies the sum of options sales proceeds over the holding period for this security is taxable as a short term gain."
Do I show the Option sales as a separate transaction(s)?, every month client held the security? Do I add the option sales amount to the proceeds? What about the other option sales for the securities that client hasn't sold yet?
It also says this activity may or may not be taxable at the state or local level?
Thanks for the help!

:blink: I think I'm getting that on all state returns. I figure ATX just thinks all states have to have 8453s.

That simply means there is both a debt owed to FMS and the IRS - hence, 'B' for 'both'.
Nawwwwwww, that can't be.... it's too simple!!!!!
Thanks for the quick answer.

I know about F (FMS) debt code but I've never seen a B debt code yet.
What is B debt code?

Just wanting to confirm, but somehow doesn't seem right........
New partnership, two individuals previously in business (sole proprietors) basically merging into partnership, each contributing previously depreciated equipment. Each asset starts the depreciation over at the previous owner's adjusted basis?
What about equipment that was depreciated out, zero adjusted basis, how to determine new basis? or do you?
Thanks

Hey thanks for the quick reply, also after I posted I saw your reply on the other post!

Hi all,
After an update on the Server, do we have to run Netsetup on the workstation again? I know in prior years we had to, but I thought that changed last yr.
Thanks, Bill

These are rejects that should never find their way back to you. They are both the refering to the efile format itself, part of the system. Only thing you can do is keep getting the program updates until it is fixed.
Thanks for the reply, I thought it sounded like that. I update everyday, especially now, and I'll try it again tomorrow. If no luck I guess I'll email tech support.
Bill

Yeah, I got those weird reject codes plus another one: "The State Record is incorrect, The Return Sequence Number (RSN) of the Generic Record must match the RSN on form 1040."
Reject codes 35 Seq 0; Reject code 407 Seq 23 and Reject code 31 Seq 7
I went to the MyATX, downloaded the 1345A filing supplement, it says for TY2004????????
This almost sounds like an ATX problem...
I had efiled 3, the other 2 were accepted.
Anyone else get this?
-
Beth,
Thank you for the response.
It was a piggyback, I tried to call tech support but got stuck on hold til I had to do something else. If I email tech support what data do I give them to identify the file?
Thanks again!
Bill

Had fed efile reject, corrected but now state is still showing validated in efile mgr.... program will not let me create new state efile. can I just delete the efile and recreate or is it going to ... Haven't got anyone on phone yet, still on hold.
Help!!!!

Hey thanks Ken, I'll try that.
Glad to hear that you've got your network set up and running!
BTW what does YMMV mean?

Thanks for the replies. I did the demo and didn't really see anything that special. Plus you have to send your data to them to convert.
I guess if we HAVE to change we'll probably go to Drake.
Emotionally I wanted to like TaxSlayer because they are a sponsor on Dale Earnhardt's race car..... but emotion has no place in taxes. :-)
