  1. Thank you every one I now think I was wrong. I am going to give her the AOC. I just thought I would add: She is a great kind girl who desirves the credit if I can get it for her. While working and going to school one class as a time she has been supporting her elderly mother.

    Thanks again for clearing that up for me.

  2. You have to look at all the expenses for her and do the dependency worksheet. If it calculates out to parents paying more than half then Yes she can still be their dependent. Are there student loans and who is responsible. Does she have a car and is it in her name or the parents. auto insurance health insurance just don't miss any of the expenses and you will probably be able to prove parents paid half.

  3. Who paid the expenses. If she paid them out of her 11months of individual income then they are hers BUT If he was living in the home I doubt she paid them unless it was to keep from loosing the home. The devision only applies to the time they split income. if he paid she does not qualify at all. Did he have any ancome. Technically the should devide income and withholdng for the month of January.

    just my 2cents

  4. are you also having problems with the auto fill.

    choose R-real property

    4-27.5-yr...

    put in date and bus percentage

    every thing else and

    someimes the recovery period, method and convention auto fll AND sometimes it doesn't

    no rime no reason, If you put tihis info in your self it shows up as an overide, I just don't like to override if I don't have to.


  5. I'm thinking Life time but she thinks she qualifies for the hope.

    Situation:

    Taxpayer has been attending junior college part time for 8 years. Now she is going to University fulltime to complete her degree (personally I think this is the smart way to go No student loans so far) She went to University as a junior.

    She has taken no education credit up to this point.

  6. It is a solid building on heated foundation for building custom cabinets.

    Clients bought new home with property so they could build the shop (has its own power bill) totally seperate from home except for land.

    shop will also have the office in it upstairs as does his old shop. Trying to get out from under the 1288 per month shop rent.

    The shop has cost over 15K so far. Already using it but not totally complete yet.

    The second part of the question is

    Some times the asset worksheet auto fills the years and methods and some times it does not. Am I doing something wrong or are other people having the same problem

  7. Client built a new shop on their residential property.

    is this real property sub non residential real estate 39 year life?

    Brain dead so early in the season...............

    Also why is it some times when putting in a new asset the asset entry recovery period, method , and convention. and most of the time it doesn't.

  8. It takes a while for the print selection to load but the actual printing is fine.

    average 5 minutes to open return some times as long as 7 minutes.

    I see no reason to open multiple returns that can get you in trouble. I never have more than one return open on my desk either.

    I have resorted to putting small throw blanket over my desk if I'm working on a large return and someone comes in with a small addition to their return.

  9. I have a state efile reject that won't let me check the error. Efiled Federal - Accepted. Efiled state regected. This happened with two small returns (sisters). First return found error. signature date can't be more than 2 days old. (holding isn't such a good idea??) changed date on 8879 (doesn't match now) resent ((After serching for severl hrs to figure out how to git the state return off held status)).

    Sisters return won't show me the reject error. Shuts down ATX when I try to open it in either return manager or e-file manager. NOW what. I thought If I could check the error code on the website. (if possible) I could just fix it. But now I can't open it all.

  10. I tell all my clients to call me before making large financial decision. For the most they all do.

    Should I refnance my home to pay down the rental mortgage?

    Can I take money from 401k to buy home?

    My mother died if I sell her stock to I owe taxes?

    These are the most common.

    I tell them up front when I know they have money they could misshandel To Call First and not need me to say "wish you had Called" during tax season.

  11. Your not alone. Last week I had a New Client and preparing the return was slow but worked. PRINTING on the other hand took over an hour just for clients copy. (simple return not large). I was finally able to send her on her was with just her copy and printing the signature forms. I have not printed my copy yet. This made my next client wait needlessly with his two children that still needed dinner. They both gat a large discount for their inconvience. So yes many of us are loosing money.

  12. Did an updade this AM and now the program won't stay open "updated server need to up restart " don't have server. The program shuts down when I colse with the X out functon or cllick OK button. What now. This is February for heavens sake. What are they thinking. The only way for me to get threw to tech support is to get up at 5:00AM and start calling. I am so (add few choise words I can't print here).

  13. Thank you for your condolences. She was my 86 year old sister in law and at our last visit she said she was ready to go into her makers arms.

    Believe it or not we are happy for her. She is certainly in good place now.

  14. Where is this manuall you ar all talking about?

    This is the first year I can say is so far a true nightmare.

    I didn't load until mid January because of an expected death in the family.

    I am updating on start up. Is this a bad idea? Should I be updating from the website?

    After updating I keep getting a message "network updated restart work station". I am on a stand alone computer not network.

    It took me 1 and 1/2 hours to print a simple return last night

    I am ready to quit all together. Don't need this added stress right now.

    Maybe the manual will help me. I have read the tiny thing that came with the disc. Is this the manual you are talking about?
