If this folder is so unimportant that you can delete it and ATX will recreate it, why don't they just delete it every time the program closes and recreate it every time the program starts?

If ATX Server will not start, delete this folder: C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\CCH_Small_Firm_Services I watch tech support do this once and saved it to a text file.

Always happy to share. Cheers!

I forgot to attach the new organizer and I forgot to mention that I added page numbers. 2014 Blank Organizer-Nuance Fillable.pdf

Just found another program that did a much better job, Nuance Power PDF Standard. It created the fields better with a larger font AND made the square boxes "checkable" with a click. Now I just need to get ATX to make the Yes/No boxes on the questionnaire square so they too are check boxes.

A quick google search turns up abundant results.

Waltz is one dance I can do... but I have to count in my head. #NotaNaturalDancer

Often the pensions get paid into a foreign bank account and the recipient transfers money to their US account. I ask for the foreign bank statements every year to make sure they didn't go over the 10,000 USD, and I remind them to keep that foreign account balance low.

Could be useful. Haven't had time to review it yet. http://www.bls.gov/bls/blswage.htm

I upgraded. So far so good. I really wish they would give us more info about what they changed so we could check to see if it works.

I gave up after not finding it in the Sch C instructions. Who knew they'd bury in chapter 6 of some damn publication?

Anyone install it yet?

May be FBAR filing requirements, too. I have an Irish pension and Greek Social Security and I've just been putting them on line 21 for US citizens living in US.

Thanks! I searched for that yesterday but couldn't find it.

I don't think it really matters, but as a landscaping business is mostly a service business, I would tend not to use cost of goods sold at all, unless they have inventory.

You don't duplicate it, you do a rollover. When you click on the rollover tab, you have two tabs: 2013 and last Month/Quarter. Choose Last Month/Quarter. Then choose the return you want to do a short year on. This will make your beginning depreciation and other rolled over numbers correct. As for efiling it, it sounds like you have to call ATX to get them to allow it. I've always just paper filed.

MDEA is right. The EFIN should be in the firm's name. http://www.irs.gov/Tax-Professionals/e-File-Providers-&-Partners/FAQs-About-Electronic-Filing-ID-Numbers-(EFIN)

"ATX appeared for a second year to have largely recovered from its technically troubled 2013 season. It continued to regain market share, and users gave it an overall satisfaction rating near the average for all major products. Notably, nearly 90% of its users would recommend it for a new tax practice, second only to Drake in that regard " http://www.thetaxadviser.com/issues/2015/aug/2015-tax-software-survey.html

You never got down and back up again. woot-woot!

How is dancing two-dimensional?

Just hide the update in Windows Update by right-clicking it and choosing hide update. Saw a thread on this in an IT forum I follow and the poor IT guy had employees getting popups everyday reminding them to install the update. His fellow IT guys were telling him to do registry edits and group policy edits and all kinds of techie things. I suggested he just hide the updates, like I did. Sometimes techies can't see the forest for the trees. I guess a lot of people have never hidden an update and might not even know it can be done.

Are you sure it's an NSF penalty and not a late payment penalty? Seems awfully high.

We're hoping the law will be changed by year end. A lot of business groups are pressuring congress to permanently fix this like they did for 2014.

Have you noticed that every Monday, the ATX Servers are not automatically running when you start your computer? If you leave your computers running 24/7 then you probably won't notice this, but our computers shutdown automatically every night (Scheduled Task). I first noticed it when one of my staff wanted to access ATX before I had run it on my computer (workstation/server), and they could not get in. And when I start ATX on Monday, the window pops up and shows the servers starting. I had asked ATX if I had 10 years of programs on my computer would I have all 10 servers auto-start all the time, but ATX did not understand my question. I'm pleased to learn that the answer is no. It will just start the current and prior year server services.
