  1. But I bet there double spender! I see these kinds too often and I always ask, 'no interest or dividends', with my most incredulous look.
  2. Maybe they can do a payday loan.
  3. I can hear the rumblings of lawyers now going over this new tax law that was not well thought out or well crafted. Stay tuned!
  4. Corporations The name control for a corporation is the first four significant characters of the corporate name. Omit the word "The" when followed by more than one word. Name: The Meadowlark Company Name Control: Meadowlark Company Include the word "The" in the name control when followed by only one word. Name: The Flamingo Name Control: TheFlamingo Wouldn't just love to be in a room alone with the people who dream this crap up? With, perhaps, a baseball bat in your hands.
  5. The internal workings are amazing to watch! https://i.imgur.com/mfIT62X.mp4 My uncle had a hand crank one. It was like playing a slot machine!
  6. I have one clear winner who wears the sickliest sweet perfume like some really awful cheap bubble gum. I try to avoid the hug at all costs. We can still smell her perfume 4 hours after she's left. You wouldn't need a hound dog to track her down!
  7. Technically it's a calculator. I'm old enough to have used an adding machine. Damn thing nearly threw my back out carrying it to clients. I think it was the CPA firm's version of hazing.
  8. It's just a prop these days. I occasionally use it when facing a client and I'm afraid I'll screw up the math in my head.
  9. Pic of ivy after I 're-tangled' it. https://photos.app.goo.gl/9I7Mlr1dXgSVfeCE3
  10. Home office expense form, Expense input tab lines 30a & 30b.
  11. Mine's not tax related. When I work, I have my back to the client. My computer table is behind my desk. I have a beautiful ivy plant on the corner of my desk and when it got too long, I just took the end and looped it back up to make it look fuller. When I was finished her return, I turned around and she tells me she's 'untangled' my ivy plant, removed the dead leaves and now it's draped down onto the floor. (Oh. Gee. Thanks?) The icing on the cake was she wore one of those sickeningly sweet perfumes that older ladies like, and it irritated my throat and made me cough. I asked to please not wear perfume in my office because I have asthma. She sniffed herself and said she only put on a few drops. I think they become immune to the smell and just put more and more on every time. She perfumed our restroom so much that it still smelled several hours later. But I really wanted to tell her to LEAVE MY FRICKIN' PLANT ALONE!
  12. Agreed. Been a big fan of Foxit for years. I bought their old PDF editor but went with Nuance when I wanted more features.
  13. Almost any explanation will suffice. The IRS doesn't fight S elections.
  14. The amount of income in a distribution is calculated at the trust level. Impossible to say if the trust return was done right or not, but if it was right, expenses exceeded income in the trust and only principal was distributed.
  15. Except when the trust pays something for the beneficiary, it's a deemed distribution.
  16. Had the IRS mail me back a 2848 I had faxed them because they determined that the signature had been done electronically... which it had. I just need to make it look a bit better. Before I got the letter from IRS, I had faxed it several more times, and one of those times, someone processed it.
  17. Whoa, I forgot about the health care program. Thank you soooo very much! I have his last year return to use as a guide. No rent paid, owned two houses, sold one. Wife has retirement income, which he told me is not taxable in MA. How do you determine if a bank has a MA charter?
  18. It's not an allowable trust deduction, so it becomes a distribution to the beneficiary. I'm leaning towards allowing the credit, because I've had divorced couples where the parent who paid the expenses did not claim the exemption that year, so the other parent got the credit.
  19. You can do both electronically.
  20. I would add back depreciation before making that calculation. Positive cash flow would cut it. Also, knowing the property would increase in value, supports an ultimate profit motive.
  21. From my router log: [DoS Attack: SYN/ACK Scan] from source: 151.80.230.107, port 22, Wednesday, February 28, 2018 11:53:24 [DoS Attack: RST Scan] from source: 209.98.153.105, port 443, Wednesday, February 28, 2018 10:47:10 Both were today. https://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/151.80.230.107 https://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/209.98.153.105
  22. Why not just print it PDF to save a step. Then print to paper from the PDF. That's our procedure.
