I always create a Group called Admin2 that I give all of the privileges to, so more than one user can be an admin. Ooops! Sorry! I wandered in the Drake forum. I'll see myself out.

This was one of my main impetuses (impeti?) for retiring.

Think of it as closing distributions to retained earnings. That's the entry I make. Zero out distributions, and put it to RE. I do the same with partnerships, but each partner has their own equity account, instead of an RE for the business.

It worked when I tried it. I was able to open an 1120S and a 1040 at the same time. Unknown if there are any downsides to this hack.

This is a new (to me) solution, though.

Program is in Program Files(x86)\Wolters Kluwer. Data is in ProgramData\Wolters Kluwer You can see the program location by right clicking the ATX icon on your desktop and choosing properties. You can see the data location by running ATX's Admin Console, which should be in your Windows menu, but I always put a shortcut to it on my desktop for easy access, as well as the Sfs.Cache folder. The cache folder contains temporary files that should be deleted if you're having trouble with ATX. I wish they'd delete every time you close ATX.

Are we sure it was not reported on a 1099 and didn't end up on the 1040?

You have to open the return and use the E-file menu to Display Rejection Errors, even though it wasn't rejected. ATX needs to rethink this mess. Alternately, in E-file Manager, select the return and press Ctrl+R.

And that makes messages useless because we'll all stop looking at them. 'Accepted' is really the only part I care about.

This should be standard procedure for everyone. Computers simply run better after a restart.

I just tried this and it would not let me save. It says access denied. I checked and the file is not read only. I right clicked the file and had an option called "Take Ownership." After choosing that, it did let me edit.

Why doesn't everyone call their tax pro before tying the knot? Timing is everything. Perhaps wedding tax planning should be a thing.

Actually, it's quite common. I often have to transmit twice.

Bring up the Pages & Worksheets list and choose Sch B (1116) - Credit Carryback / Carryforward

If she doesn't do any 1099 work, I'd start the identity theft process, but if she has a Sch C business, I'd suspect she did work and just didn't realize who she was getting paid by.

And if you increase your font in Windows, ATX may have display issues. I've seen such issues reported before and it seems to be related to screen resolution, which is the main way people make their screens more readable. The best solution is bigger monitors.

So he is paying SE tax with these credits, which will show on his Social Security earnings record.

Use the other payments line. I've put these kinds of payments as estimates or extension payments before, and the IRS will send a matching notice, even if total payments is correct.

MarylandSaves is also easy for employers. Registration is quick and FREE: there is no charge to employers – in fact, the State will waive a $300 annual registration fee for employers that sign up. https://marylandsaves.com/

If you set your starting pages, under Setting, On startup, to: Open a specific page or set of pages chrome://newtab/ chrome://settings/help it will automatically update whenever you start it. Same goes for Edge, but it's under Settings, Start, home and new tabs: Open these pages: edge://newtab/ edge://settings/help I wish Firefox would adopt a similar approach, but that's why I run SUMo at startup, and restart my computer daily.

Wow! Thanks, everyone! You're the best! I forwarded this thread to my friend. Cheers!

Had a friend ask me about this. She has a small consulting biz in MD and just picked up a CA client. I told her I didn't know enough to give a reliable answer. Would someone be kind enough to share the basics? Does she need to register in CA, simply because she has a customer? I know CA is both weird and aggressive. If this were any other state, I'd know what to do. Thanks!

You did it the hard, slow and inefficient way.

That should have been being done on an ongoing basis. It's crazy, in my opinion, not to do so.

I forgot to add, that you run the Admin Console program on each computer to locate the new database on the server.
