This will be the case no matter what you try. It baffles me how people can't create a password for a new account, and download a file. How do you live in the internet age without those skills?!

ATX 1040 Line 5 Social Security Worksheet is not correct
Abby Normal replied to Abby Normal's topic in General Chat
Yes, I opened a case, plus I chatted with support and they opened another case. -
Line 3 of the worksheet is missing 1040 line 6 capital gains. I checked the 1040 instructions and the description for line 3 of this worksheet reads: Combine the amounts from Form 1040 or 1040-SR, lines 1, 2b, 3b, 4b, 4d, 6, and Schedule 1, line 9 ATX's description omits line 6.

Just wait until they use the 2020 W4.

Most IRS and state forms are fillable these days, and when I encounter one that's not, I run it through the forms feature of my PDF editor and make it fillable.

I just tried the QuickBooks plugin for tax1099.com and worked really well. I had email addresses for all the recipients so I just had the site email the 1099s (SSN was masked). I downloaded the PDF of the recipients copy and I was done. I've resisted this in the past because of the cost, but it saves me labor and buying forms. And if I can email some of them, it saves envelopes, postage and more labor.

Doesn't look like it integrates with QuickBooks. This one does: https://www.tax1099.com/Intuit

We use Foxit for everyday viewing & notating PDFs. We also use Kofax (formerly Nuance) to make PDFs searchable, convert to a fillable form, rearrange, delete, crop pages, add page numbers to ATX organizers, etc.

Did you submit this in the official enhancements forum?

I also use Comodo fee firewall because it blocks certain behaviors and lets me allow or deny that behavior.

can I start a tax return on ATX Max when state form is not available?
Abby Normal replied to cl2019's topic in General Chat
Yes you can start and yes the info will flow. -
Been using Eset NOD32 AV for over 25 years. Would not use anything else.

The category is determined by the main form in the return. If you add a 1040, it will be under individual.

Who in this group, uses portals to send documents to clients?
Abby Normal replied to Jack from Ohio's topic in General Chat
I use temporary portals like send.firefox.com and sendinc.com. I tell clients to use these same free services to send me info. Both they and I feel better knowing it's temporary and their sensitive files aren't sitting out there somewhere to be hacked. -

Windows 7 Should No Longer Be Used for Tax Preparation
Abby Normal replied to micpa's topic in General Chat
I suppose your argument could be that it's a minuscule risk, especially if you've taken other reasonable IT security measures. -
Windows 7 Should No Longer Be Used for Tax Preparation
Abby Normal replied to micpa's topic in General Chat
Pet peeve of mine: I routinely see people get these messages and never check the 'don't show me this again' type dialog box, or the remember me box on websites. -

I had an old XP program I needed, so I installed VMWare virtual machine on my and installed XP so I could run it. It worked pretty well, but I did have problems printing occasionally. Had to netshare lpt1 or something like that. I saved the commands in a batch file.

All good here. -

keep getting error - attempt to connect to server
Abby Normal replied to schirallicpa's topic in General Chat
Your server is not on the internet, it's on one of your computers. Also, I HIGHLY recommend that you uncheck 'update forms' and 'update programs' at startup. Nothing good can come from having those checked.
