Is anyone else having a problem updating the 2010 program? I tried over the weekend and it took all day and cancelled out of it trying again and it is moving extremely slower that I would expect.

Mine updates fine also. Just updated a few minutes ago.

I'm having my eye done next Wed. Thanks for the good words.

I have 4 that are late by 2 weeks. They all have

an energy credit on them. I hope they soon get this cleared up.

The trust was set up in 1988 by grandfather who owned an elecrical contracting business.

All paper work shows purchase from the trust signed by trustees.

The son of a family trust member purchased a home from the business trust.

Does the trust take on the role of a related person? Or would you file for the

$8000 credit. Thanks for your thoughts.

Even now, most Gracious Heavenly Father, I take pause to pray for this one of Your little children. Father, I do not know Barbara or anything about her but what Denne has said. But You know Father, and that is all that matters. Father God, I pray that You would wrap Your loving arms around Barbara and Denne and let them feel Your presense in this, their hour of need. Father, if we know nothing else, we know that Your ways are not our ways and that You are sovereign in all things. You are the God of hope, the God of mercy, the God of love, the God of healing. You give and You take away - because You are sovereign. I pray right now, O God, that you will give Denne and Barbara and all of those surrounding this situation that peace that defies all logic that can only be found in Christ Jesus, my Lord. Father, help them, I pray. And I do pray these things in the name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus, the Christ. And Lord, we will be careful to give You all of the glory and all of the praise and all of the honor, both now and for ever more. Amen and amen!

What a wonderful prayer for Barbara. And also for the rest of us. Thanks for the

beautifully worded prayer. You couldn't express what you did without being one

of God's own children. God bless you rfassett.

If you fill in (2a) the taxable amount it should generate 5329 and generate the penalty.

I had the same situation last evening.

Bigdadder

I would be happy to make that trade-off too, KC.

It is in my organizer for 2009 tax year. There are two versions of the organizer. Not knowing what else to call it, download or search your program for the "comp" one.

Thanks JRS. I kept bringing up the first organizer.

I appreciate your help.

Bigdadder

Does anyone know where to fine the engagement letter in the MAX program?

It was found in the organizer last year but is not there this year. After modifying,

it was useful last year.

For a dual monitor setup check out the program Ultramon for individual monitor

personalization. Will allow you to run different applications, set up different desktops, etc.

Sorry we missed you OLDJACK. Hope you had a great day and will be blessed with many more.

It feels great to be appreciated.

I have quite a few clients that when it comes time to bill them I

just tell them to give me what they want. They've always given me more than I would have charged them.

But then we have the other side of the spectrum---The ones who demand a lot of time and bulk at

giving you a fair amount.

It was absolutely the best tax year I've ever had. The program worked very well. E-file was great.

My clients were very appreciative and generally we enjoyed working with each other.

My computer worked well and I made a little more money.

So with all that finished--I should be lonely but my Honda Helix greeted me warmly

and yesterday I took a nice long ride and enjoyed God's creation.

According to the IRS publication, both are allowed a maximum of $10,000.

"When added to all your prior qualified first-time homebuyer distributions, if any, total qualifying distributions cannot be more than $10,000.

If both you and your spouse are first-time homebuyers (defined later), each of you can receive distributions up to $10,000 for a first home without having to pay the 10% additional tax. "

So it is okay for the couple and they should not be charged the 10% penalty.

I had one where the baby was born on 12/22/08. They received the SS card already and the return

went through fine. They filled out the SS papers in the hospital.

Checking with the hospital would probably be my first step.

Wish you success.

Just received my PA ACKS a few hours ago.

You must first export (not backup) the 2007 files to your external hard drive

and then to put them on the new Vista computer you must import them from

that external hard drive.

I did the same thing and it worked great.

I wish you success.

Same version here.2008.6.134.

I use an HP 2420d. Never had any problems. Works great.

I received mine late this afternoon and installed it a few hours ago.

It installed fine and I worked on two sample returns without a hitch.

As soon as I installed it I did a complete online update and there were quite a few to load.

If all goes as well as the installation, this year will be a good year!!

Start eating lots of Blueberries---Just stocked the freezer with 200 lbs for the winter. The whole family is

starting to wake up to the wonderful benefit of the "little blue things."
