I thought the idea of no late penalty if you are getting a refund was decided by the tax courts long ago. Am I mis-informed? The idea being that if a refund is due, all taxes have been paid. Hence, no late filing or payment penalties.

Your issue is Win8. Maybe if you buy Adobe Acrobat XI, it will be compatible??

I think the IRS is simply lying. I think the e-mails were deleted intentionally. They have had time....

You forgot Super Glue!!

Don't comment till you get it!!

ATX does EIC correctly if all inputs are done correctly. There have been many times ATX did not allow EIC that the reason was not obvious. Upon further research, we found that ATX was correct.

Agree with "from now," but aren't to keep them 7 years??

There is this thing known as Circular 230. If you have not read, studied and become familiar with the new version, you need to.

Two Jacks agree on this one.

This is the reason you charge exorbitant fees to this client. You helping him fix the mess he made without consulting you first, makes your knowledge and experience worth at least double. Hold you head high, smile and write the bill!!!

Did the client take any distributions from retirement accounts? That also plays into the decision about deductibility.

Paycheck dates MATTER if the IRS looks. And in this situation, they WOULD look. Payroll cannot be back-dated. It has to be "constructively received" in the year it is claimed as expense. I think the work "fraudulent" would fit here. If the preparer is knowledgeable of this, and they choose to go forward with it, they will be as liable as the company owners. If the S-Corp owner had consulted with an experienced and ethical tax preparer, you would not even be asking this question.

Not even a consideration. The IRS would LOVE to get that. You cannot backdate payroll. Run Forrest Run!!

Better chance of me winning the PowerBall lottery than that session being open for questions. The keynote address is sent to all the conference rooms via closed circuit. The only way not to attend is not to be in any room. Not for me. I doubt that we can believe very much of what he will have to say. He is just another double/talking political crony from Washington.

After this announcement, I know one particular event I will NOT be attending!! IRS Commissioner John Koskinen will deliver a keynote address to the attendees of the IRS Nationwide Tax Forum in Chicago. This special 50-minute session will be a unique opportunity to hear remarks from the current IRS Commissioner. I will spend that time in the exhibit hall!!

How the signature looks, how it is spelled, or legibility is not important. If the person signs the document, whatever or however they choose, it is a legal signature.

Well MAS, so far it looks like just the two of us.

Everyone, please send an e-mail to [email protected] and explain in great detail the situation when you get the server retry error. Mention that you are a member of the discussion board, and that Jack Raby asked you to send the information. SEND THE INFORMATION. I want to have Kerri tell me that a hundred e-mails have been received.

Everyone, please send an e-mail to [email protected] and explain in great detail the situation when you get the server retry error. Mention that you are a member of the discussion board, and that Jack Raby asked you to send the information. I have been up to my ears trying to solve the issue, and any input from you will be helpful. Yesterday, I spent over an hour implementing some procedures they recommended. But it seems that the server retry problem still exists. SEND THE INFORMATION!!

I am not sure if you will be able to get tours of the White House or the Capital building since the sequester. Maybe they have reinstated it. If they have, it should be a great tour.

Jack From Ohio will be attending. Looking for a male roommate to share hotel expense. I have confirmed reservations.

The slowest SSD is exponentially faster than any mechanical hard drive. You would be comparing the pole sitter at Indy with the person in 33rd spot. Somewhat slower, but still fast as hell!!

The attitude of most IRS people we deal with these days is abysmal. As tax professionals, we are considered about the same level as the goo at the bottom of the crude oil tanks.
