Gail in Virginia

I thought everyone knew that putting your password on the side of the monitor wasn't safe, you have to put it under your keyboard where it can't be seen. LOL.

Its bad enough to fill the form out online EVERY SINGLE TIME but most of the time when I get to the appointment they will ask me AGAIN if my address has changed (since I filled out the online form yesterday?) and so on. What a waste of time.

It is my understanding that paper filing is not allowed. I spoke with the Pres of a non-profit yesterday who tried to paper file and the 990 was returned to him to be e-filed. I have not done a 990 this year; I thought the only social security number required was for whoever was signing the return? Can't you change to some other officer signing and use their SSN?

Thanks for all the replies.

My credit union will cover from savings, but they won't transfer online from savings more than 3 times in 30 days. So if I have made transfers online, or they have had to cover another payment, the third time that month that this happens, they will refuse the transaction. They told me it was federal law - at least the last time I tried to make too many online transfers in one month which has admittedly been several years ago.

Yes, that was the issue. I am not sure of all the details but there was another substantial amount that was sent as part of the settlement to pay for the other party's share of the business which was not included in the corporation's books. I am not sure whether any of it should have been, but I still think the fees paid to the attorney should be on a 1099. Unless Mass. lawyers tend to be incorporated.

Sounds like the trucks some of my farmers have pulled up in. No tags, no inspection, and sometimes even no doors!

The business itself.

I have a corporate client that was involved in a lawsuit over ownership. The legal bills were substantial, and the law firm that most of the money was paid to is in Boston. When I told them they needed to do a 1099 for the legal fees, they called the law firm to get the information. The law firm said they had never gotten a 1099. In Virginia, almost all law firms are partnerships so I would think they would be used to getting 1099s from businesses. But maybe it is different in Massachusetts? Or am I missing something about 1099s? Also, when I question this for the 1099s I found out that a substantial portion of the amount they paid the law firm was part of the settlement - they had to pay the other party's legal fees. Should that be included on the 1099? Is it even deductible? Any opinions or references would be appreciated.

I am sure you checked this, but did you "lock" the 4868 before you filed it? I still wouldn't have thought it would matter once the file was actually accepted.

I e-file VA.

I think on the 1041 EF Info page, in the section under Estate/Trust, the question is asked if the IRS has the most current Responsilble party information on file, and you need to check either yes or no before you can e-file.

Even with conversion software, sometimes LTCL and installment sales have to be added manually.

If you file the extension showing the entire balance due, and they only pay part of it now, I believe it will generate a balance due on their account with IRS that they can then go in and pay online. But I am not sure.

I have always added them to the basis.
