Doubt I'll have time to write it by then. Yeah, and it might just be a bit shy of 'three hours'.

I hope someone warned support!

Just checked the ATX User Guide and it only says to 'drag and drop'. I should start a Hidden Features of ATX book and sell it to users for 45 bucks.

Delete the 8903. That's only done on the 1040. Go to page 3 of 1120S line 12d and press F6 (or click on green arrow). Choose the one that says Dom Prod. I always just enter the income and wages as overrides on lines Q and R. So glad this is gone next year!

If it was rejected, the efile year should be automatically updated. Frustrating as hell that ATX doesn't have an error check on this when creating the efile. Should not be hard to do. BTW, the efile submission is the long number on the EF form. It's easy to see the year and your EFIN in the ID.

Just accidentally learned that you can double click a variable to insert it into a letter. So much easier than dragging and dropping. Why didn't someone tell me this!

The find feature searches quite a few fields in ATX. You can try EIN or street name next time you can't find a return. I learned this because I can't find my own return using name search, because ATX searches the preparer name field. I'd sure like to turn that off.

Was everything ok inside the file? The return name in Return Manager is easy to change, perhaps, too easy.

In ATX this is what you use Customize Master Forms for. I have a very long list of things that need to be checked, unchecked, linked, etc. on many, many forms.

I got 8 done yesterday and then my Office Manager tells me as she's leaving for the day that we have more returns in now, than we had on 4/17 last year. Holey shirts, Batman! I need to crush it!

All final returns are accrual. The fees should have been deducted on the final return.

I've finished zero returns today!

Unfortunately, it's taxable. Can they put money into an IRA?

Bottom line is the same!

Just treat the equipment as if it had never been stolen and show 10k of other income. The net affect will be 10k income regardless of how complicated you make it.

The best thing about chat support is you can scream and yell and swear and call names, as you calmly type an appropriate reply. https://myatx.blogspot.com/2018/03/chat-support-for-atx.html

Or just override the depreciation to half of what is calculated.

It was converted to personal use (non-rental) on 6/30. That doesn't mean it was a residence. Deal with next year, next year.

ATX doesn't allow various for the sold date, possibly because the IRS efile doesn't allow it?

It could be your printer software (which you don't need): https://community.atxinc.com/forums/permalink/259370/261179/ShowThread.aspx#261179

Each computer is so different it's hard to say, but in general you want your computer to be as clean as possible with very few programs installed and only essential programs running in the background. Also, you can usually just x out of those errors and keep working. I have found specific things I do that trigger that message, so I avoid doing those things.

No dates are need if you use totals and code M. Pretty much all we do here. No attachments. No mailing in. No word from the IRS in many years. They only check totals.

Others have been mentioning that support installed this for them and it helped with crashing on big returns and printing. https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/large-address-aware.112556/ I just downloaded and installed.

Maybe it's just the tax season giggles kicking in, but I laughed out loud at some of these: Period of Limitations that apply to income tax returns Keep records for 3 years if situations (4), (5), and (6) below do not apply to you. Keep records for 3 years from the date you filed your original return or 2 years from the date you paid the tax, whichever is later, if you file a claim for credit or refund after you file your return. Keep records for 7 years if you file a claim for a loss from worthless securities or bad debt deduction. Keep records for 6 years if you do not report income that you should report, and it is more than 25% of the gross income shown on your return. Keep records indefinitely if you do not file a return. Keep records indefinitely if you file a fraudulent return. Keep employment tax records for at least 4 years after the date that the tax becomes due or is paid, whichever is later.
