I kind of suspected from the beginning that you had unchecked the wrong box.

All of our computers are connected to the internet by necessity. Sites that are hacked are websites that store data for access. Our computers are not websites. If you look at your router logs you will find programs have been probing your ports trying to connect, but failing. Most times it's from a college IP address and it may just be harmless probing. Such is the world we live in, but I'm not going to use an outdated, inefficient paper process in my office.

Most of the time the client drops and runs and we scan later. But we only work from scans and just keep the records secure until client picks up returns. Some clients who are far away just email us everything so we don't even have to scan. We code them in ATX with an 'N' so we no there's no physical file to deal with.

No cherry! Oh, man. That's my favorite part!

Oh man. Just got a part-year MA return who moved to MD. Any sage advice before I dive in? At least I get to use Sch R(?) this time so it might make more sense.

You can just override tax prep fee. You'll need support if your preference for 'display tax research tool tips' is grayed out, because I've not seen or heard of that.

Digitally. We don't want to spend time pulling/filing files or looking for misplace documents.

We have a locked, deadbolted, windowless storage room, but it's mostly to keep current year records secure. We have carts that we roll away every night so everything is as secure as can be. We're in the process of shredding all historical paper records.

Well, at least it's working now. I tested it by posting the lyrics to Thick as a Brick and it didn't crash.

Define 'same time frame' because I only have to get a PIN to login.

Set your computer on fire.

You're gonna need some "me time".

S corp can rent the space but self-rental rules apply. Taking money out as rent reduces amount available for reasonable salary.

I checked your activity to make sure had been on here recently. I was worried about you! Glad you're fine!

The IRS has never been able to get W2s into their system this soon, anyway. That's why matching notices never come out before November, and that's early.

And thanks for replying, Catherine!

Yeah, I screwed up the Social Security and Medicare and deducted for the non-MA W2 as well. Surprised ATX doesn't have that right since W2s are coded to state. I could have overridden the interest, but I always feel like I'm doing something wrong when I override.

This is why I went with Square, Free mobile swiper, 2.75% fee.

But if their income for the year was less than 400% of poverty level, APTC repayment is capped. I've seen this work out well for some, and 2018 could be a banner year for this.

The processing fees are usually lower if you swipe the card than if you process manually. I am a pro advisor too but perhaps I wasn't way back when we tried Intuit. I hate intuit anyway would rather pay someone else.

Suspended losses due to lack of basis don't go on 8582, anyway, they stay on the K1 basis worksheet. And they do disappear when the S corp dissolves, unless there is enough income to create basis. If this was a passive activity for the shareholder, once the losses are released from the basis worksheet, then they go to 8582, until disposition. If the purchase price exceeded the basis of the assets, the income (gain) would have created basis to use up some losses. Any cancellation of debt income to the S corp would also be income and basis increases. If we assume the assets were sold at a loss and any COD income was roughly equal to the losses suspended due to lack of basis, I'd think you'd be safe to just fugetaboutit.

Sorry, I had to laugh at that. A day in the life... I DM'd an IRS employee that hangs on reddit and he asked me if it was their " systemic TDS fax ("three attempts in 24 hours") or their eefax". Told him it was the TDS, but I haven't heard back. Hope the mail comes thru!

I practice a lot.

Same here. QB may have changed, but years ago, in the off months, if we didn't use it, they charged a $35 low usage fee! You wouldn't think it would cost them so much for me to not use it.

There are two credits involved here, the nonbusiness energy property credit and the residential energy efficient property credit.
