People are not self sufficient and just want ATX to hold their hand and make everything ok whenever something goes wrong. When all they need to do is search the forums. Of course, 90% of them suck at computers so when you tell them to clear the windows temp folder, they have no clue. I hope they all switch to Drake. ATX isn't making any money off them if they're tying up support every day.

I just got transcripts from eservices where the POA was 2.5 years old, but I haven't called the IRS <shudder>.

I would have refused to do the W2s without the QB backup.

All the good stuff in windows is in the right-click menus.

Alright, but if I hear banjos, I'm running!

My state has bronze plans so I just lookup bronze and enter x12 on the Affordability tab. If the calc says they could have afforded it, I go to Worksheet A and check the months each person wasn't covered. The step 4 on SRP questions is automatic, so SRP is calculated. But I could be doing it wrong!

We print all 4 packets (as needed) to PDF then print from PDFs as needed: Filing: personal property returns for business Client: estimated vouchers & letters/K1s for business Preparer: complete return (except forms printed in other packets) Custom: efile signature forms, engagement letter, payment vouchers, bank info page for signature

They should have talked to Boothby. He's the smart gardener.

You should be able to right click and save photo to drive. I use Thunderbird and photos show inline but also as attachment. I keep forgetting I'm not on the official board and I don't have to keep my sentences short. Sorry if I sound Russian!

If you just print to PDF does it crash during the PDF print? We never print directly to printer and have never had this problem.

I think most of us do, but it easy to forget about qualifying for the eic and other things, unless you have a long check list. I use the ATX check list in the 1040.

Printing to PDF as an intermediate step solves the printing problem. Printing problem when printing to printers may be caused by that crap software printers want to install. I never install those types of programs. I just let windows find the driver, or find it myself when installing a printer.

I'm ok with it. But 5k over 39 years is 128 a year. I'd probably go with simplified home office, instead and leave the 5k as an owner draw. This sounds like a shed or outbuilding on their residential land. Is it heated and has electricity? Does that even matter for simplified home office?

Oh man. Don't abbreviate Lifetime Learning Credit as LLC. I had to read that sentence twice!

I hate the ones who download a landscape brokerage 1099 and print it in portrait mode so it's tiny. How can they think that's acceptable?! If they email them to me, it saves me time because I don't have to scan them, and they're already searchable documents, so I can copy/paste if needed. Social Security numbers are masked almost universally now, but I encourage them to use Virtru or bring them to me on a flash drive. The ones I really hate are the ones who scan every document as a separate file. If they use Virtru I have to download each document separately, then merge them into one PDF. I'd rather have a photo than the scan I had last week. They used some Apple jotnot scanner and it looked worse than a bad fax from the 80s. The tiny font used by the bank made it almost impossible to tell a 6 from an 8.

Since ATX refuses to delete the Temp folder Sfs.Cache, you can put a shortcut to the Temp parent folder (\AppData\Local\Temp) and just delete Sfs.Cache folder every day or as needed. We boot our computers every morning and have CCleaner run automatically, and have it set to delete temp folders regardless of how new they are. I had to delete FAMStaticData folder last year to get the 179 limits to update. Added it to my How To notes for ATX.

The NOL worksheet is rarely right. Credit for taxes paid to other states is not automated unless you pay for Advantage. (This is just wrong)

Memphis was scary too!

You can make a suggestion in ATX Enhancements forum for allocation boxes on the Billing form to allocate prior year tax prep feeds to Sch C, Sch E1, Sch E2, Sch A, etc.

You're right. It is TN. I have been thru TN. Took the southern route from AZ to MD. Stopped in Memphis. Visited Graceland.

That may be controlled by ATX, so only you can use the software. Call your sales rep.

I've never been to Kentucky. I would like if this actually happened. Let's revisit after May 1st.

I just gave you the first result of both systems.

I learned from the best. Rich came to my office when I switched to ATX to give me a jump start. How nice was that. I still remember how confusing the whole letters thing was.

This can be true because the mortgage interest and real estate taxes move back to the Sch A, and you don't have to worry about depreciation when you sell.
