  1. If this statement is attached as a pdf, you could save it and then clean it up if you have a pdf editor.
  2. Thanks, Judy Something else I didn't know
  3. Multiple Drake Community posters are reporting that the Drake program is crashing whenever they upload Form 8879 to the Drake Portal. One user reported that the problem went away after he reinstalled the program. It looks like we may be seeing the effects of Drake cutting expenses to keep CINVEN (the new owner) happy.
  4. I use Drake, but yes it was easy. The hardest part was entering the very long VIN
  5. I have been using Drake since the 2017 tax season and this year is the first time I have had the program freeze or crash.
  6. Also don't click on "unsubscribe" links. Just send it to your spam folder.
  7. I just did a return with a 2023 Model 3 which qualified for the $7,500 credit I won't efile until tomorrow morning after I meet with the clients.
  8. Well, I just received my first one for this year in my spam folder

    ChatGPT Down

    The crisis is over ChatGPT services have been restored
  10. "OpenAI's ChatGPT is down for many people worldwide, with users facing multiple problems, including being unable to access their accounts, having their chat history come up empty, and the chat screens not loading properly. When accessing ChatGPT, users may see a blank screen with "How can I help you today?" and, in some cases, a missing chat history" Maybe we haven't been replaced
  11. See my revised post, which means that you can't net gains and losses
  12. IRS Guidance says to report the gains and losses separately, which is nasty because you can't deduct the loss from the sales of personal items.
  13. Here is the response from Drake's Support about the program freezing or crashing when exiting the Tax Planner; "Good Afternoon, Thank you for contacting support! Here are some troubleshooting tips you can try to fix a freezing computer: 1) Make sure you are connected to a strong internet connection. 2) Switch from Wifi to a hard wired Cable. 3) Restart the computer every night or every morning. 4) Check for third party software that might be interferring. Anit-Virus programs are the most common. 5) VPN and other such things can effect the program running as well. 6) If these do not work, i would suggest local IT support to look at your network etc and see if a setting is affecting the program. I hope this helps! Sincerely, "
  14. That's the current link provided by the IRS, since the most recent changes went into effect January 1, 2023. You can always do you own searches

  16. According to Forbes, there is no sign in the Senate of this bill coming to a vote.
  17. Several days ago when my program froze was just after I exited the Tax Planner. Then I had to use the Task Manager to shut down the program.

    QBI

    This article should be helpful: https://www.journalofaccountancy.com/issues/2019/aug/qbi-deduction-for-rental-real-estate.html
  19. I do expect Drake to increase their renewal fees substantially this year. My experience this year with Drake is about the same as last year and the year before. I don't really have any new complaints. At this moment if I had to leave Drake, I have no idea where I would go.
  20. What kind of problems are you having? I did have one software glitch where the program got hung up. I had to use the Task Manger to close the program. The program did restart with not problems.
  21. Interesting, I received one last year but I haven't received a single one this year
  22. "Who is an eligible student for AOTC? To be eligible for AOTC, the student must: Be pursuing a degree or other recognized education credential Be enrolled at least half time for at least one academic period* beginning in the tax year Not have finished the first four years of higher education at the beginning of the tax year Not have claimed the AOTC or the former Hope credit for more than four tax years Not have a felony drug conviction at the end of the tax year." According to the OP she has already finished her undergraduate and graduate degrees. Once you have finished the first 4 years you are no longer eligible for the AOTC.
  23. Just skimmed thru some guidance, you have a number of tricky issues to deal with. If it was my client, I would either refer them to someone else or pay an expert to provide detailed guidance.
  24. Just curious, who was the fiduciary for the 401 K ?
