  1. 2% shareholder insurance reduction is a duplication and the IRS is not changing per the Philadelphia liaison who did a seminar for local college. You can skip it but it leaves a skeleton in the closet. Because you are taking the self insurance deduction, my guess is that the IRS computers will probably look for it on 8995.
  2. I just tried customer service for ATX, still down! Maybe Monday!!
  3. I just got a notice from a client who got a larger refund on her 1040 and the notice is saying because of a missed HSA deduction. Upon reviewing the 8889 it computed no additional deduction which is correct however an incorrect number on line 3, $8,900, double what it should be creates a balance on line 12 that should have moved to line 13 and then to 1040. The instructions clearly say a self only coverage over age 55 is $4,450 but $8,900 somehow comes over? I just got off the phone with ATX and they are not up yet so they cannot help. I am surprised the IRS computers allowed a number greater than her age allows to be used. If you get any calls about increased refunds and the person has an HSA, go right to that first.
  4. 9:48 AM Eastern just back to office and those 3 returns have ACKs!! So efile appears to be working fine, solutions center is not working. Weird date on ACK for State of PA, printed at 2:47:56 AM although I sent in at 6:47:56 AM which is the Fed accepted time. When I looked at efile acknowledgement history it is wrong on one side correct on the other. The long and the sort however is they are accepted, "I THINK!" and "I HOPE!"
  5. 6:48 AM Eastern, I was able to transmit 3 tax returns, now we will see how long it takes to come back!!
  6. RitaBThe longer it goes without more comprehensive info makes me a little apprehensive about the damage. Brent, I have an American citizen who now lives in Bulgaria and she is not allowed into Russia anymore, bad girl!! Bulgaria is no great place, it is on a terrorist list so money dealing in US are a problem for her, but she loves Bulgaria. Have a nice weekend!,
  7. Interesting to read a few of you were able to transmit some returns. I have tried 5 or 6 times today and no connection with EFC. So I called the temporary number and then went to a rep who said efiling has not been opened at all!! So the right hand does not know what the left is doing apparently if everyone who transmitted are correct or just lucky. 7 days in (using the Kreb Security email to WK on 5/3/19)it certainly is becoming quite a debacle and the lack of current info from WK weak. They should be updating on the hour as far as I am concerned.
  8. RitaB, that is quite interesting, I have tried multiple times this afternoon and cannot connect to EFC!!
  9. I am not on the cloud but it appears that ATX is still down. I have tried to efile and nothing is working?
  10. My computer tech is a security guru, worked for one security company and recruited to another. I sent him the krebson story and will get back when he responds. He has never liked ATX!! He does have alot of things on my system so I have a level of confidence that he has me protected. I will know better when he does some digging.
  11. 27 year old too impatient for Mom and Dad to come visit with me took her W-2 and went to Liberty. $400 later she got her refund and had a Federal and PA but no local because they did not know how to do it!! Lives in a township with a 1% tax and an address in one with a 3.4% tax!! Youth, throwing money away, Liberty taking it.
  12. Had another return locked by FAM, not fixable by administration. Tech fix is not a simple one, they end up on some screens of the Raven and eventually they find it. First try did not work and I suggested try "Raven Locks" which worked. He took alot of things back to the developer as something was up but he could not figure it out. While fixing the lock discovered nothing was retorable but 17 returns from early January, 164 in as of today. What is bothersome to me is my problems started after the FAM trial came out.
  13. Was able to open and print from workstation that the problem started on BUT still does not open on server. Pretty odd situation.
  14. Did you post this to ATX board also? They send errors to the developers.
  15. Done, workstation shut down on task manager and restart, server shutdown on task manager and restart, still waiting for a moderator on ATX board, will call after lunch if nothing by then. Thanks
  16. 280 total and 24 total as two separate entries. If it is a mix of ST LT then it get messier.
  17. If the 24 are in the report total I would just add them up subtract and enter the 256 total and 24 total and send IRS the report. You then have the proper coding and totals should agree when they do the CP2000 check. I just has a client drop in, moved to a new broker, 62 pages of transactions of fractional shares!! Algorithm trading, scam in my book, tax return pain in the butt, bill goes up and client will have broker tell them "but we do all the work for the accountants"!
  18. Joan the problem with multi is that it is inconsistent with allowing it to happen. I started getting the resource message last Thursday when we had the server and two workstations up and running. ATX 2013 is far from a polished program when you are trying to manage the problems to keep moving forward. Lots of warts and blemishes for some worse than others.
  19. The return is currently locked by the Fixed Asset Manager application. Returns can only be used by one application at a time. Please try opening the return later or close the FAM. We have not used the FAM? Could not unlock under Administration.
  20. I have been with it for 14 or 15 years and it is working better this year but there are still alot of warts and blemishes. I am on a network with 2 workstations and use the server as a workstation, updated computers two years ago. It is better but not 2011 and earlier. A young client that works for a national software company told me he was surprised ATX was using Raven as it was not a "very mature" program. I suspect many problems may go to that but who knows. Another year of some people doing well no problems, some like me with manageable problems and some with gotta change software problems. I will be interested what ATX comes back to Jack from Ohio with.

    I have not had my program update go red so not doing anything right now as a much better start than last year. I hate to even say it.
  22. FTM, good luck!! I hope you have a good tax season!!! I never thought Red would be bought by ATX and nailed you, Big Jim definitely but not Red!! Send me a note every so often, your levity was always a good break during this chaos know as tax season. Mine starting out much better than last year. Jerry
  23. SFA, for your future CPE check on Wilkes University in WIlkes Barre PA they offer 4 hour classes to CPAs for $45-55. They started webinars for some courses last year and they work well also. Last seminar for year is Thursday 4 hours of A & A, not on Web however.
  24. Jack, I guess then I need more software based on the requirements. It is saying we need Windows Server 2008 or higher. I just searched my hard drive and not finding anything. I have an e-mail into the tech. Thanks Jerry
  25. Installation and networking is confusing! In the beginning it suggest that peer to peer will not work. Then is goes into a setup that would mirror mine, computer #1 is server and workstation, computer #2 is workstation and laptop at my desk is workstation. I guess I will find out next week!! At least the drive mapping is gone. A beta tester on CCH board described how he was setup and it is peer to peer. Trying to be hopeful but CCH does such dumb things it is almost like they are telling to leave.
