You can delete all of your physical printers (not your PDF and other nonphysical printers) and windows will just re-add the one that is attached. I'd disconnect the printer cable, then when you reconnect, windows will detect and install.

Burying the IRS in more mail is counterproductive. Mail is always my last resort when communicating with the IRS. Fax is preferred. Times like this is when I miss the old EAR program (Electronic Account Resolution). We used to be able to handle IRS notices in as little as one day, and at most 3 days.

Go to control panel, devices and printers and delete the duplicate printer. Not even sure why it was added. Windows should have just used the original printer and not even notice the change, since it was identical.

Here's the link for all the related MD forms. In the future, you can prevent/reduce the withholding if you can file the correct form about a month before settlement. Also, you can request a refund if you don't want to wait until you file the tax return for that year.

This became a necessity in recent years, so I'm very glad to see it.

You can always amend. I amended after not being able to settle an IRS notice, that we disagreed with, and the IRS sent a refund.

That's not what she or most people want, but who knows what we'll end up with... if anything. This battle has raged since the 90s, at least.

Yes, I'm not sure if the forms do any math and I'm sure it's limited to the more basic returns, but it is a way to file free.

LOL. The IRS might not be going after clients for fraud, but they will most certainly disallow some credits and assess penalties and interest for late payment.

SSA contacted me about a possible duplicate W2 from the early 90s when I applied for SS. Unfortunately, I had shredded all my tax returns from 1972 forward and didn't consider scanning them before shredding because I had the last 20 years in PDF form. I had switched jobs with the same company and it's quite possible they did give me two W2 forms for one year and the total income seemed about right as well, so they allowed the extra W2 to be part of my earnings record.

You can open two tiny returns, but two average size returns or a large and a small return. But for me, having two returns open at once is something I need about 1% of the time.

Sometimes, I've found that just asking the question out loud, or typing it on a forum, helps me find the answer without any input.

Was taxpayer married or single? If single, then the estate owns the business and it goes on the 1041. And you'll want to file to carryforward the NOLs until they can be used or passed out to the bene's.

If it's a schedule C he can't rent personally owned land to the the Sch C. All related expenses would be on the Sch C and there won't be a Sch E.

Every time I've tried a VPN, the internet slows more than is acceptable to me, even though they always say it shouldn't slow your internet. But I've only tried that type of VPN at home, never at work. Using a privacy VPN while traveling is probably a good idea, as is avoiding all public wifi and just using mobile data. I use an add-on in Firefox that forces websites to https, instead of just http, for added security.

Be aware that there is a bug in ATX Rollover Manager where returns will be missing when you filter by not rolled over. In our case, it was hundreds of returns that did not show.

Correct. We also use status codes for input, missing data, ready for review, ready to efile and done. I'd recommend against rolling everyone over because early on, there can be errors in ATX that require you to rollover the return again. Also, it keeps your return manager clean with only returns that have come in.

ATX Return Manager does all we need done. We assign client numbers sequentially as they come in and ATX shows the date rolled over.

You can try turning off or uninstalling your security software to see if that helps.

It's almost always a memory issue. Have you installed other software recently? Have you looked at Task Manager to see what's running that you don't really need running? Go into services and changed unneeded software to Manual from Automatic. Look for things like Adobe update or QuickBooks update, QuickBooks backup or even QuickBooks itself. The new Edge browser has a quick start setting that keeps it running in memory, called startup boost. I discovered this because after recent Edge updates, my Startup monitor program notified me that Edge was trying to make something run at startup.

Subtract 5,000 from the cost basis of the asset you entered, then expense the 5,000 as other exp, and amortize the remaining 3,653.

This is wrong. The estate would be the shareholder and simply get a K1 from the 1120S. The corporation was not dissolved.

It's crazy to file anything on paper with the IRS right now, unless you're absolutely forced to.

Most states will allow the same name, once the old one is surrendered, and the state has likely already done that. MD says you can't have similar names but I see almost identical names all the time.
