That stinks.  Proseries allows you to bypass theirs.

So does ATX as of the last program update.

At the bottom of the pop up where you enter the authentication code, and yes it does nullify the reason to have it. My guess is that the support calls about it were overwhelming the support team, so they said, screw it, and caved.

Drake gets it.

I got one as well from Block as expected and properly recording the CC sales.   ATX 1099K form entry and linked to my Sch. C.   Just like a 1099NEC, just a different form entry screen.

The trick this year is to know if it is legit reportable income or personal in nature (like paying friends for personal expenses or selling stuff on eBay for a personal loss).

I've never entered either of those forms. I just enter sales from my accounting software directly on Sch C. Less work.

In the print screen in the past, you could select "check all" once and it would check all.  And you could select it again and it would uncheck all.  Now it won't.  

Grumble mumble.....grumble mumble.....

I just tried this and it works for me. No idea why it's not working for you.

If you want to print just one or two pages, it is easier to go to the top of the page in the open return and click on "Page".  That is how I print my K-1s that I am giving to the partners.

My K1s are normally 5-7 pages, but I do use print page often, like for depreciation reports.

I have followed the instructions, i get the authenticator code, enter it with and without the space, it fails every time. I have repaired the authenticator. Tried both Windows and Google, still fails!

Could be the time on your computer and phone are off by more than 30 seconds. You can tell windows to display seconds, then compare that to your phone. Or you could switch to a desktop authenticator, which is the path I chose.

What?! That's a feature I actually use.

Also a longtime user of Firefox. Never had the issue you describe. I keep my New Tab clean.

I use Ecosia for searches now because it's private and they use profits to plant trees. They have a Firefox extension now.

I've never even seen a Brother scanner, but I only buy Brother printers. I lover my color Brother HL-L3280CDW. It has a nice bypass for envelopes, too.

Yeah, I'm staying as far away from W11 as is humanly possible. During the filing season? Not just no, but no possible way on God's green earth not ever no way no how no!

I'm already on 11, have been since last year, but I'm not installing 24H2 until after tax season, and only then if I stop seeing daily articles about problems it's causing.

I have a Fujitsu ScanSnap IX1500, my second.  It's fast, scans double-sided and takes up very little space.  I thought it was also a good price.

Same.

Be careful with your optional upgrades. No sense inviting trouble during the busy season.

to the second

That seems nigh impossible. I just checked my phone and computer and they are two seconds off.

Oh but I can!  Both the phone and desktop authenticator codes are mirror images of one another.  I accessed ATX both ways.  I wouldn't have offered this up had it not worked...

And in my case no one to be compromised by as it's just me, myself and I.   

I'm surprised that works. So you can use either authenticator and they both show the same code at the same time?

Also, I have a password on my authenticator, so they'd need to guess that to even get the code. And my authenticator is an extension in one of my browsers, so they'd have to find it first.

It probably is less secure, especially if you put a shortcut to your authenticator on your desktop, but any hacker would also need to break your ATX password, and 3 wrong guesses would lock them out and require a password reset, so I'm not worried about it.

#5 should read: “You can BOTH:”

No because you can't have two different authenticator setups. The last one you do will be the only one that works.

But I do agree that a desktop authenticator is superior to a phone based one because you can copy/paste the 6 digit code into ATX.

Chaos is the order of the day.

Probably just delete the existing link and set up a new one.

Yes, you should paste it into a text document, and save it.
