WITAXLADY

well Jack - I was serious! You are being silly and I am not impressed! I don't have a cordless mouse...and it works well everywhere else! another explanation?

I have noticed when trying to access an asset say the vehicle to input miles and put the cursor there - it moves and opens something else up - irritating.. has done it on a number of Schedules.

ok - this says a NEW LLC must get a new fed EIN - this is an existing LLC and it says it does not need to get a new fed Ein... BUT what about the name please...

since we had so many problems last year with ATX, Jack offered to come up from Ohio to WI and fine tune my system. He did a superior job! Fixed many issues with the computers and ATX,,,If you need help - Jack is the person to call and come fix it. Thank you Jack for your time and help. and sorry your flight was delayed and you got to spend extra time in the great Northwoods...

ok this should be simple.. brain on vacation- really... WI -20, FL +80 so for work comp, need to know new name but for fed EIN , just keep same number when switching from a LLC to a S Corp... What would new name be? thx D

LLC formed and elected S corp status for 2012, hasn't filed yet. Now wants to be C corp due to many factors - main one making $600,000 in 2013 2012 year - 0 - for bottom line file as S corp for 2012? or just dissolve and file as C corp to start so the equipment etc does not have to transfer over.. I have done C's to S's but not the other way around. Please help so we can put it on the proper form and mail in. Thank you D

Jack - can this be done?

Workers paid extra $8 per hour non-taxable per diem for traveling and also given an apartment for the week to build ships. One moved within 60 miles - close to worksite and wonders if the per diem of $8 is now taxable? Thx

I had my first extension today!

oh I heard it like this.. men you can't live with them and you can't shoot them..

Thank you. However, can he switch to the calendar year after this?

So client formed a new s corp and is making a good amount of money. Wants to end year Sept 30thbso his 2013. So his personal year in one is less. Is this llegal. Possible? Please advise? Thx asap d

Client was in last night and said a new program allows her friend to pay x amount per month - less than what she was paying! and in 10 years all is complete and the rest forgiven. (He was upset as his wife paid all hers in cash over 8 years! ) So I have another client who owes $90,000 on his sons education (plus his son owes $$'s also) and they want $1100 per month from him. He has everything mortgaged, equity line, 2 vehicle loans and cannot afford the $1100. Student Loan place said file mfs and you only pay $250 per month. Well then he pays more in taxes each year. 1 - Have any of you heard of this recent law change? 2 - Do you have any other options for him to get his payments lowered? Thank you, D

Dear Jack, MCB alerted me to this .. Please add me to the list. she is not networked and I am and what a nightmare. and we continue doing returns... Any comments now as I have until 10/30 to decide if I will pay for Proseries as my main or back-up? I have tried about 6 programs now and still keep coming back to ATX but I cannot $$ wise or even more importantly time wise - have a season like this past one with ATX 2012. And if you noticed at all from prior postings, we upgraded everything! Thank you, Sincerely, D

well mine wouldn't run - retry when almost thru...

yes post please

WELL, there is not an office there and the head company does recognize the office and supplies electronic equipment.. worth a try they just need to have more reimbursed if they want it deductible! Thank you

Taxpayers are mostly owners of restaurant franchise and most expenses are reimbursed including office equipment ion home. K-1 of S Corp. However, OIH expenses, meals and enter, other miles, etc are not. How can they take these expenses? cross posted. Thank you, D

ok - please help my lazy self... I am still so busy - went on lake vacation for hubby's 60th b-day. Came back Mon, he fed animals, I visited my 80+year old folks and when he came back in about the time I got in at 9 pm, he had 2 calls from his siblings. Can't make it your dad will have died before you get here - in the car in 20 minutes and 7 hours later got there at 4:30 am. He passed away at 5:30 am. Spent the next 5 days back and forth between Iowa and WI. So now I am gone 2 weeks and trying to catch up. So the question is - Is the Capital Gains rate the same in 2013 the same as 2012? Thank you so much. Sincerely, D

NO! I have al win 7 - even updated my last 2 as the xp were not very compatible for 11 last year and 12 - kept shutting the network down. I even got a new server - the old one was 2 years old. Just a nightmare - Support was great tho' - walked us thru - hours at a time!

I tried Drake in march and couldn't make the transition on the fly and tried it again in May - we were prepared to go with it but there were just so many differences - the major being the calculations of the pages back and forth and the entries on the "pages" and not on the forms. So Proseries it is.. I didn't want to renew with ATX for 2012 as it was so slow in 2011 - many times I have said I would take the slow! Even now ATX continues to crash. I updated again to 18 and at least 2x a day, I have to shut down out of the program or totally reboot as "it is not responding" and cannot get anywhere! I just have so many extensions already on ATX I want to finish those first! What a mess and as I was discussing with my dentist this am - what chaos 2014 will be with Obamacare and 2012 is still a mess.

man, you guys are tough! 1 - she will pay and has been but I am beginning to feel she needs to hire someone from this board instead or elsewhere in the state that I am not doing her any good or justice. 2 - Business wise - her actual only assets are $55,000 for the trucks and trailers, no property and the business keeping running and generating income. business closes, no monies. What value would that be to the IRS to close it? Why would they not be willing to do an OIC? as long as she keeps current and pays? 3 - Personal - ok - we can do a personal inventory and set up a payment plan for her... I am sure she could eventually pay it. 4 -The brother who had no knowledge - ignorance is not a reason, really doesn't have assets except the house with a mortgage greater than the value and that is about $60,000, a truck with a mortgage and only 1 vehicle at that. What are his chances - try it and see? 5 - Really - my E&O insurance would talk to me about this stuff? I have it - never talked to them about anything... just pay them. 6 - I can insist we do the books Thank you, Darlene

I have had nothing but problems all season and in fact the program crashed at least 6x Apr 15th and had to file extensions for all those picking up that day - I was not happy at all! but I downloaded 12.15 last night and it sure seems to be fine today - no complaints from anyone. both 11 and 12 opened and earlier yesterday I could not get them to open - thus I figured I might as well try 12.15... So maybe it was finally the right combo? We will see and be careful with the praises for 11 - when the rep called me in May - I was not renewing as 11 was soooo slow - we could not stand it! I only renewed as he said 12 would be so much better - eat those words!!

OK. Thank you. I see the theft issue - I always have. I was appalled. It is hard to be objective when I have her in my office crying. Plus now her husband has been in the hospital with heart problems and she has to go in for surgery when she reaches 65 in August. CPA - accountant? you are funny - she does the books herself - how do you think the problem arose and continues to do them with one of her daughters. As she turns after the fact payroll over to us - we submit her payments so we can keep her timely along with her estimated payments. so she is up to date now. And is making sure her two daughter's new businesses are totally legit and done properly. It was a combination of ignorance, fear and stupidity.. harder to fix that, but give her credit - she is trying. So I am trying to resolve the issues and am looking for steps 1,2,3 ... Believe me, I am well aware of the criticism and was asking for some solid advice beyond that. So if you can help with that I would surely appreciate direction and confirmation. D
