The election that ATX provides does not mention a dollar amount, just the code section: Section 1.263(a)-1(f) De Minimis Safe Harbor Election Taxpayer elects to apply De Minimis Safe Harbor under Reg. 1.263(a)-1(f).

C'mon, ATX! It shouldn't be this confusing.

Really cute ADP rep just dropped off another MTG. I stuck it in my drawer, just in case I want to show a client. Better get a magnifying glass though. That print is tiny!

If you want to give them the changes to input manually, you could just convert the data file to a newer version of quickbooks. I like to give them the audit trail to enter changes I've made. Or you could buy it on ebay for for $125... if no one else bids on it.

Yes, that's what I remember hearing earlier this year. Hopefully they will fix this going forward.

Entering 1 code has worked for me for 2013 and 2014. I suggested that ATX download all the codes automatically from their server during the install, like my old software used to. My old software had a separate code for 1040, 1065, 1120S, etc. It was a LOT of codes.

I would because you are 1 of those 5 licenses.

I'd asked for both this and a shortcut (Ctrl+Z) for deleting one form. At least they added this so I don't have delete one form at a time. I started using Alt, F, R, D for removing one form or for several consecutive forms.

It will definitely put you to sleep!

Thanks, but it's not that critical.

I was told by support that I need to enter all of my install codes during the installation. In the past I've always just entered one of the unlimited license code, but now I have a separate code for the included licenses and another code for the additional licenses I needed, plus the code for MAX and another for enhanced assets.

Memo to self: forum displays multiple images in the exact opposite order that you add them, so add the one you want first, last.

I use both the lite research and the master tax guide built right into ATX. The lite research interface is a little clunky but it is quite useful for line instructions on forms. I also installed the browser add-on for Intelliconnect so when I google search, it gives me an button to do an Intelliconnect search too. You'll never know if you like it until you try it.

Jack is right. Win10 is almost beta at this point. You don't earn money with your OS. You just need it to work.

I have an LLC that is 100% owned by a foreign corporation. I leave the EIN field blank on Sch G (1120). The column header says 'if any'. No problems efiling.

I did at first too... in 1995. But both it and I got better at it.

Well that experiment didn't last long! Zooming text only does not work for me.

QuickBooks has a trial balance, but I've never used it. It seems an outdated concept to my way of thinking. But I've seen people hand write JEs on 7 column paper before entering them in QuickBooks. Whatever works for ya!

You might want to revise that link, Eric. It has your personal info in it. I read a similar paper (from someone trying to sell me a file sharing service) and it basically came down to "people use really stupid passwords."

I may have to buy that myself! Thanks to all who mentioned it.

I just learned that Firefox has a Zoom Text Only option. Of course, many times I do want to zoom in on a graphic.

I wear a hard hat now... and eye protection because of sharp pencils. #bettersafethansorry

Is it not possible to create a new forum called something like Reference? We may end up with a dozen pin-worthy posts over time.

I have no use for it. I hate using paper reference when I can search the same thing electronically. Besides I have at least 3 companies offering me the master tax guide every year (ADP, Edward Jones & CCH). Edward Jones gives me electronic access as does CCH. #saveatree
