The limiting factor is often your ISP's upload speed which is usually 6 mbs.

Did you check the Print Manager settings?

This discussion has totally convinced me to add this particular tax scenario to my "Don't touch this list"!

Output it as a pdf file, then print from the pdf copy. ATX has a long history of quirky printing issues.

"The MeF Production System, currently processing business returns only, will be unavailable on Saturday, January 15, 2022, from 7:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. Eastern time."

Excerpt from the Annual TIGTA Report: "The report says “[t]he imbalance between the IRS’s workload and its resources has never been greater.” Since fiscal year (FY) 2010, the IRS’s workforce has shrunk by 17 percent, while its workload – as measured by the number of individual return filings – has increased by 19 percent. The report reiterates the National Taxpayer Advocate’s longstanding recommendation that Congress provide the IRS with sufficient funding to serve taxpayers welL." https://www.taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/reports/2021-annual-report-to-congress/ A confirmation of what we already knew

Wow, that would be very difficult to deal with.

Most licensed professions have rules and regulations which codify how they are expected to handle their relationships with customers, clients, patients and etc. Those rules and guidelines cover those situations which are not only black and white but also shades of grey. It's easy to come up with examples of Doctors, Lawyers, Accountants and etc who chose not to follow the ethical guidelines of their profession. After all we read about them when they are convicted or lose their licenses.

"ACA Information Returns electronically filed through the Affordable Care Act Information Returns (AIR) System: • Start-up for Filing Season 2022 AIR Production begins on Friday, January 14, 2022 at 7:00 a.m. Eastern time."

If you subject to Circular 230, then ethics is not a personal choice.

"The IRS continues to reduce the inventory of prior-year individual tax returns that have not been fully processed. As of Dec. 3, 2021, the IRS has processed nearly 169 million tax returns. All paper and electronic individual 2020 refund returns received prior to April 2021 have been processed if the return had no errors or did not require further review."

I just read that self created property is taxed as ordinary income. However when you have a band and record music in a studio, have all of those expenses been already deducted or have some of those costs been been capitalized? If you pay a songwriter xx,xxx for a song is that payment deducted or capitalized?

Marilyn, Great Post! While I am a youngster at 75, I plan on continuing to work as long as my health lets me.

Sometimes English is such an imprecise language

"The IRS will begin accepting all business tax returns at 9 a.m. Eastern on January 7, 2022."

I detect a bit of sarcasm in your response. Unfortunately for all of us, phone support at many places is at an all time worst. I don't use ATX any more, I switched to Drake,so I all I can suggest is keep trying. They used to mail out renewal forms, which could be signed and faxed back. Don't know whether they do that any more?

Now I know where to refer all those client questions to : https://www.irs.gov/help/ita

Excellent article in the Journal of Accountancy: https://www.journalofaccountancy.com/news/2021/dec/salt-payments-before-year-end-priority-passthroughs.html How do you take a deduction for 2021 when you file an election and pay the the PTE Tax at the time you file the state entity return in 2022?

The MeF Operational Status Page is still showing start dates for last year.

I used ATX Payroll Reporting for almost 20 years before I left about 4 years ago. The workaround would be to chop up your W 2 into 3 W 2s

I took it to mean could they send someone else with their info?

How do you respond when clients ask? My response would no, unless I have a copy of a P O A

The post says he did that?

If you output and save a pdf copy, then print from the pdf copy, it should work just fine. ATX has a very long history of quirky printing issues!

I have been using Accuwage and uploading my W-2s to the SSA for at least 15 years, first with ATX now with Medlin. I did use Drake Accounting for 2 years in between ATX and Medlin. Didn't really like Drake, I didn't find Drake Accounting to be very user friendly. Never had any problems with Accuwage or uploading the W-2s thru BSO. Oregon has required state W-2s to be efiled for a number of years now. Medlin creates the files to be uploaded, works very smoothly.
