I am in TN so we don't have this thing called State and Local Income Tax, all we have is a big sales tax on everything we buy. Beside the point, I have a MI part year resident return for a new client that moved to TN. I have a copy of last years return and they must file a local Port Huron return. Does that efile with the state or do we have to mail it in?

After reading the message on the IRS website...where is my refund...to the client they still think I am the problem, so they have a friend at the bank and now they are going to see what the hold up is. PLEASE ! I have talked to one client 3 times. I told them the IRS still says the same thing. It will not change. Clients...........Please don't spend your money until you have it in hand....

Thanks KC. I had already decided to do that because they have a fed # with both of there names on it from years ago. Hey I posted yesterday about efiling some Ala. w/2. I efiled the fed but do no know what to do with the ala. First time to have some state w/2 to file.

Thanks for your comment but I could do without the PROFANITY!

Both husand and wife equally run and share business income and expenses. Should that not qualify them for QJT? Everything is halfed right down the middle.

We have always had a block to check to split the income on the Sch. C where both spouses own a business together. Do I need to file a partnership return? They do have a fed. iden. number with both of their names on it. Hus and Doe and Wife Doe DBA as A Company. I inherited this return several years ago from another preparer. Again where did the block go?

I efile my w/2's to the bso. What do I do with the alabama state efile? Do I file it on the BSO or go to another web site to send it? First time with efiling state w/2.

I have had several clients that did not get their refunds on the expected date that is on the schedule as accpt. by date to be directly deposited. People that have efile for years with the same bank acct. number, no new dep. etc. Does anyone know what is going on? My son's actually came on Wed. instead of today.

In speaking with my client the sale was not in a community property state. The land was purchased during the marriage in 1959. Husband died 3 years ago and all property went to wife. Does she get a stepped up basis on the half that she received at his death? They payed $8000. for the property in 1959 and she sold it in 2008 for $105,000.

I have a client that her husband died 3 years ago. She did not own the farm party in question. She inherited the property when he died. Does she get a stepped up basis for the property? I have to check with her to make sure that she owned no part of the parcel. If she did would she still get a step up basis for his half? She has sold the property in 2008.

Please Help!

I bet we will have this alot...Taxpayer received 1099 A. They filed bankruptcy and let the mortgage company take there house back. Block 2 Bal. of princ. outstanding was $104,000. Block 4 FMV was $74,500. The way I read 1040 Answers it says that it will not be taxed because of the bankruptcy. Do I just not show this anywhere on the tax return? :scratch_head:

Thankyou! Thank you! Thank you!

Can anyone help me with the problem that the federal tax ( and probably the state) Mailing Slip does not line up with my envelopes. I have the same ones from last year and the format on the new slip prints the name way to high. Can I make a custom form and roll over last year's some way? Help you computer geniuses.

When did they change it? My 1040 Express Answers still has the deduction in it. Boy that sound like my luck. The first year we had the child tax credt my youngest was 17. I just wondered when it was taken out of the tax law.

Where did the windows go for the 5695? It is still in my 1040 Express Answers book.

I have been on hold for over 30 minutes waiting to speak to a customer service person about a problem I am having writing my first RAL check. The number that came up on the banks page does not match the checks I received. I called the bank and they told me I would have to call ATX for them to reset my numbers. I have been on hold know for over 30 min. :(

Help me out with this one please. Do we only use a 7216 disclosure signed statement when using bank products? Question, the communication between tax practitioners and ATX for efiling the tax returns does not count as a Third Party?

Hey Deb! Thanks a million. I missed that one in this busy time. Have a good filing year!

Has anyone got any acknowledgments yet. I sent several off yesterday before lunch. One Ral.

I had that problem only I do not remember what I did to fix it. Make sure you checked federal copy and after you verify the name and address and the amounts you hit print to the sfs printer and then it will take a little and your screen should come up to save as whatever.txt. Mine I believe was going into the ATX import so I had to save to my desktop instead. If all else fails call tech. They have really been helpful.

Laughing so hard I need a Kleenex to wipe away the tears! I am so sorry though. I hope you are okay. Do you still have the cat?

Updated program but is still not working correctly. I get to the point within the import and all it says is transfering data....it never closes and when I manual close it, nothing has transfered.

When I try to import my W-2's, even after updating, it says it is not available yet. Anyone know when it will be available? I need to get several of these done before I get covered up with all the other stuff.

ATX program will not import them yet anyway. I have updated my program just a little bit ago and it will still not import the W-2. I would like to go ahead and get a few simple ones printed before ther rush!
