Tax simplification is a unicorn in America. It would require a complete overhaul of many different programs, and advocacy groups of all stripes would be squealing like stuck pigs.

You can just choose print instead of add to save a step. Just be sure to test it on few clients before selecting all.

We just use QB. No printing issues.

Also, you should turn off two factor authentication once you get logged in.

QBO is torture. I fire any client that switches to it.

If you have a friend who uses ATX you could have them download it for you. Or, I could just share the latest install file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RVaJmQR_mecLq3s6gZoA5fAqfffYQEf0/view?usp=sharing

Well that's an improvement over getting a message that they're too busy and to try later, which is all I got for most of the past year.

Any legal move that puts more money in the pockets of average Americans is ethical, in my opinion. Average Americans get screwed every day by unethically high drug costs, high medical costs, high telecom costs, high internet costs, wage theft, low wages and poor benefits, so any chance to get something back, and I'm all in.

It's one of the top links in the reddit tax forum: https://www.reddit.com/r/tax/comments/3zf1bs/before_you_post_see_if_you_can_find_your_answer/ The IRS Tools is also helpful: https://www.irs.gov/help/tools As is this: https://www.irs.gov/help/telephone-assistance

K1s often have both suspended ordinary losses and capital losses, so when income arises, you take a pro rata share of the suspended losses. In this case it seems, all the suspended losses were 4797 losses.

You can also set your printer to be in duplex mode and skip asking ATX to handle it.

And for the dyslexic and typo prone among us...

I submit 100% of my W2s to SSA using QuickBooks. State copies are mailed in because, fortunately, all my clients are under the limit that requires them to be uploaded. QB says you can create a file to upload to the state, but I've looked at it and it takes a lot longer than just mailing them in.

Same here. One reason I tried Google Fi was the it was designed for you to make calls and send texts over wifi. I got tired of waving my phone around and walking around the house to send a text message. And that was with both Verizon and Sprint.

Cell coverage in the US is TERRIBLE compared to other countries because profit is more important than our safety. When I was in Canada, even in rural areas, I was blown away by how good my cell signal was. I was mostly on highways, but I appreciated having coverage in case I needed assistance. Near me, there are dead spots on highways and in town. It's ludicrous that ordinary citizens have so little sway over these matters. I still remember, and fume about, when AT&T and Verizon went to Congress and said that, if we let them rip us off for Caller ID, Call Waiting and Call Forwarding, they would use that money to install high speed internet everywhere. We're still waiting for that to happen, 30+ years later! They took the money and ran. Telecom bastards are nearly as bad as fossil fuel bastards and drug company bastards.

Haven't had a problem in over 7 years of being a Google Fi customer. They have great customer service and my coverage is about as good as Verizon in my area. Plus I HATE Verizon and AT&T with the heat of a thousand suns. They're just evil and I would never buy anything they're selling.

This is one reason I went with Google Fi. They switch between T-Mobile, Sprint and US Cellular, and if you drive into Canada, it switches to one of the carriers in that country. Data rates are prohibitive in foreign countries but calls and texts are free or reasonable, and you can use wifi for data at no charge. You also have the pleasure of using pure android OS and not some poor alternative by Samsung or whoever, with a bunch of branded apps that you don't need.

The banks and brokers will almost never cut off properly. You have to manually break it down between the decedent and the estate, every time (In my experience).

May your hearts and your holidays be light!

That was probably a story from the good ole days when the Practitioner Priority line was not tied up by business that sell places in the queue.

Too long, but time is on your side.

Sending it back with a note to apply it all to 21 is the best option.

Get a free Google Voice number and give that out as your firm's cell #. Then you can type texts on your computer and receive texts, too. All of your texts will now be in one place that you can access from anywhere, and not just stored on your cellphone. You can decide what happens when someone calls that number. We have ours set to just take a message.

Thanks! Yes, that's the correct tab and you don't need to check the box if you're only entering PAL carryovers. Now, ATX needs to update the jump from the 8582 to take you to that tab and not the one where you can't enter anything. And, they should add a jump from the tab you can't enter anything on Sch E to the tab where you can.
