Client is an attorney. She became permently disabled two years ago and still had $87000 in student loans from law school. The debt was forgiven last summer due to her disability. On Saturday she received a 1099 C. Is there any way around having to pay the tax on this forgiven debt? She is not insolvent. What do you all think? Joann

Have any of you received your printed 1040 Express Answers for 2012? I am thinking they are late because of all the last minute changes, but I am getting concerned. Thanks for your help. Joann

Marilyn, where did you order the label program? I am using the one in Word, but maybe there is an easier way. Thanks, Joann

Taxpayer is a totally disbled attorney. She is getting long-term disability from employer and Social Security disability. Will never be able to return to work. In 2012 she was forgiven a federal student loan of $78000 because of her disability. Is this forgiven debt taxable in that she is disabled? Joann

Yes, I downloaded it this morning with no problem. Yesterday I received an email from ATX saying it was available. I just clicked on the download button in the email and went right through with no problem When you open the progam the first time, you have to enter the code numbers. Joann

I have an OH reject. Explanation is "IRS submission ID referenced in the state submission manifest must be present in the e-file database." Please, does anyone know what this means or where I can find it? Joann

Thank you, Randall. That worked.

I always hold OH until the Federal is ACK'd.Today I have a Federal return ACK'd and I create the OH but it just stays held and will not transmit. Any help will be appreciated. I just called support but there is a 40--45 minute wait. Joann

Thank you, Rita and Happy Friday to you. I just had a brain feeze on this one.

How do you get to the cllient letters this year? I always used them and I cannot find them this year. I hope it is just some little thing I am not doing right.

Has anyone received ACKS from OH? None of mine have come through yet

I buy a lot of supplies from Ten-Enz. They are ATX compatible, good quality and not a bad price. If you order early, you get a discount and you get a discount for ordering on-line.

I received that email also--Unbelievable---

Thanks to all who commented. The test is probably not that hard. It is just the idea of all the study and having to travel for the test. I do 325 returns, so I guess I will just go ahead and do the test. If I were ten years younger, I would go for the EA, but I probably won't work after about five more years Happy New Year, Joann

Liberty Tax Service has a classified ad in my local newspaper "tax preparers wanted--no experienc needed." How are they going to get PTIN numbers or will they fall between the cracks? I have been doing tax returns for 41 years and have to go through all this testing and stuff. always have plenty of continuing ed, but the test is worrying me. I am 78 years old and probably not a good test taker. Maybe it is time to retire. Joann
