When I used to use ATX, the software required the forms in the prior years returns to be the current version before the you could rollover to the next year?

The bill passed in the House 357 - 70. News reports say that it's uncertain what will happen in the Senate?

In that case amend the 941s and have the payment to the HSA reversed.

I have run into that problem when I have user names saved. So I had to delete some names to avoid this problem.

Really, a pastor is an independent contractor? Well, that's a flexible definition

The first time I tried to use login.gov to log into the SSA BSO on Saturday, it failed. The second I tried using a different link to the SSA BSO, it worked. Who knows?

This bill was scheduled for a vote in The House this week. Now it's been held up by Republican House members from New York who want the $10,000 SALT cap increased.

In my state a licensed contractor would be able to file a lien against the property built in order to ensure payment.

The logic behind having each property as a separate LLC is for legal liability protection. Not treating the LLC as separate entities for tax filing purposes may create legal liability protection problems. A knowledgeable attorney in your state should be consulted before you decide how to file.

You could paper file a Form 8809 for each client requesting an extension or you could use a third party to file your W 2s and 1099s I filed all of my clients W 2s today using Login.gov to access the SSA.

Technically, I agree with Dennis. However if your client depends on distributions of profit for their month to month living expenses then you have a reasonable compensation problem which would cause me to terminate the client unless they actively increased their wages!

Copied from the website of The IRS Mind: "Appealing adjustments to the IRS Independent Office of Appeals: Some audits end up in disagreements with !he IRS auditor. The first step is to request a conference with the auditor’s manager. If agreement cannot be reached with the IRS auditor, then the taxpayer can appeal to the IRS Independent Office of Appeals. If an agreement cannot be reached in Appeals, the taxpayer can also timely request a review by the courts." Your auditor is playing hardball to see who blinks first. As long as your client doesn't get nervous, hang in there, but don't over promise to your client.
