Are you sure they're not looking for Gross Receipts Tax?

So if a vacation rental belongs on Sch C and shows losses every year, does it become a hobby?

Just realized I've been evaluating the Advanced version. I will have to buy the standard version to evaluate it. They have a 30 day money back guarantee. The standard version is only 69.99. Advanced is twice that. They have a comparison chart but I can't figure out if it has the features I need.

We've been down this path before. I still can't relate.

Whoa! You can batch add page numbers to ALL your organizers! It's a little technical to get it set up, but once you save your settings, you're set.

When you save the file after converting it to fillable, do a 'Save as' so it will be a PDF and not a PDF/A.

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.

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
