You don’t. Amending a Louisiana return involves a checkbox for amended, and then preparing the return as it should be, per amended info. The state takes that amendment, pulls it for review comparing with the original return. I put a sticky note on top so the client understands what they owe, or the new refund amount.

The only option I've seen in ATX is a checkbox stating K2K3 are attached. I too have used the Blank Statement for the exception disclosure.

To Bulldog Tom, IRS K2K3 webinar 2/9/2023 had the revised instructions along with a nice flowchart.

Perfect, thanks

1120S has investment portfolio; tax document reports ordinary dividends, qualified dividends, and Section 199A dividends. I am having a hard time finding where in ATX to enter the Section 199A dividends received, and would appreciate it if someone can help with this. TIA.

Those with under $50,000 file the 990-N postcard. If returns are not filed for 3 years tax exempt designation will be revoked by IRS

File the zero returns; LDR will eventually match the forms with the payments and refund the difference, less a late filing penalty.

When I changed the password in SSAA BSO last week, I was told it expires in 90 days.

is this where you attempted to log in ? https://www.ssa.gov/bso/bsowelcome.htm Last week I was able to log in and change my password; I had to a browser other than firefox. I was able to get into the log in page using Edge.

For non-taxable personal transactions I would not put any info on the tax return. However, I would include form 8275 disclosure statement explaining the facts and circumstances. Client would be advised to expect IRS correspondence.

MFJ return - both spouses must authorize consent Partnership - I don't know but wonder if consent of the 'tax matters partner' is all that is required.

Let the attorney (for whomever had the subpoena issued) know there will be a fee and present it to the attorney for payment. IMO it does not matter that your appearance is required by the court; you should be paid for your time and knowledge.

Charge out the wazoo, tracking from when you step out the door to when you get back.

I thought the number was either 5 or 10 to retain your PTIN to efile.

IRS cutoff date is 11/26 but ATX has the earlier 11/22 deadline . It is posted in the ATX newsfeed on or about 10/31

Info re the last day for efiling is included in the newsfeed, but if I remember correctly it is 11/22/2022.

Now to see when ATX decides to close MeF.

Did you look here https://www.timbertax.org/ ?

Tax tools.com offers forms too (I think). Another vendor is tenenz.com

I too am the only one responsible for tax returns in my office. My process is similar to DANRVAN’s but I do it by making use of the columns in ATX. A return is rolled over from prior year when received. There is a column for date received, one for notes, fed/state extension and efiling, as well as making use of ATX AR tab.

I have entered the start up costs as an 'other expense' and then amortized the amount that exceeds the $5,000.

Gotcha - I must have misunderstood what you wrote in the OP.
