I have manually scanned/printed and filed all documents as PDFs for about 13 years. Every 'file cabinet' software I've looked at does not let you access your PDFs without using their software. I don't like that, and I've yet to find any problem that file cabinet software can solve, or any efficiency I could gain.

There will only be one paycheck in December so all forms will be filed on time.

Well the secret is to do some work you love, to give your life meaning and structure, even it's a nonpaying position. I already volunteer at a local nonprofit theater, in several capacities. And I want to get back into Habitat for Humanity. It's fun to build houses! And when you're this old, you need an exercise schedule. And then there's the grandkids! So I'll be plenty busy. Fortunately for me, there's very little I want to watch on tv, so I'm not going to be one of those 'sit and rot' people watching The Price is Right until I die.

EXACTLY! I love 8/8.1. It remains my favorite windows OS ever. People were upset because their menu was gone, when in fact it was just a different looking menu, which I actually preferred. But whenever I go back to work on a win7 machine, I cringe at how hard things are to accomplish, how awful the UI is, and how often things simply don't work that well.

To answer the question, you only file 2553, but you'll have to file it under the rev proc for late elections. It will most likely be approved. I've had to do several late 2553s this year.

When I searched for the article, I limited results to the last month, so it's a recent article. I think the party's over for s corps with multiple employees and no group plan. We can add to W2 for 2015, after that, we just have to increase wages for shareholder and employees who buy individual policies.

Here's an AICPA article on S corp shareholders, confirming what others have said.

Wow. I just turned 59. No way I can keep doing this till I'm 70. I might work part time for some other preparer(s), if they'll have me.

Jeez, I hope there are some younger folks on here or this place is going to get really quiet in a few years... unless some of you are planning on working until 70.

It's still a partnership, they're just losing the liability protection of the LLC. If it's not expensive to keep the LLC, I would recommend they keep it. Also, they would need to go through a title change to put the property in their individual names, or a new partnership name (non-LLC).

I saw there was an Adobe Flash update this morning so I went to Windows Update and there was KB3035583 (the only windows update number I've ever memorized) as a recommended update. Be careful out there!

My first tax season was 1980 but I've been in and out of the public practice over my career. But, yeah, the end is near.

Uninstall KB3035583 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/remove-update#1TC=windows-7 After you uninstall it, go into Windows Update and hide it by right-clicking on it and choosing hide.

Only if paid in December.

I would include it in expense of sale (basis) instead of reducing the selling price.

Client wants to prepay next year's mortgage interest because of income spike this year. I told them it would all go to principal but they called the bank and were told they could designate it as not for principal. I still don't think the bank will allocate it to interest on the 2015 1098 because it hasn't been earned yet by the bank. All thoughts appreciated!

Just backdate the letter. The IRS isn't going to carbon date the ink to see when it was created.

You have to use an email client to download emails to your computer. Were you using Outlook in win7? If you're using the default email app, read this.

I know. I just wanted something more lighthearted and easier to refer to (Abby vs. jmdavis).

The rates are the same but the brackets are much smaller so the tax will be higher on a 1041 than a 1040.

They're called 'backronyms' when they deliberately craft a name to produce a desired acronym. CPU, FYI, FBI, LAPD are initialisms, not acronyms, because you don't say them as a word.
