You could upgrade to the Advantage version of ATX. It has book depreciation as well as some added functionality. Could be worth it. See if your sales rep will give you a good deal.

Agreed. They did it to stop people calling support and asking 'are we there yet?'. Some people abuse the 'free' support and need to be less reliant on it. Now they need to combine the two separate availability pages into one complete list! https://support.atxinc.com/download/formdevelopmentstatus.aspx https://support.atxinc.com/support/ATXJurisdictionStatus/Jurisdiction Did you know that there is a forms request page: https://support.atxinc.com/support/FormRequest

Yes the process is the same regardless of the type of setup. If you don't have ATX installed on the new computer, then you can skip the step about stopping the server service on the new computer. People may advise you to just export/import or backup/restore, but those are poor choices when compared to doing it properly.

And so it starts...

Great! Thanks! I also just posted the issue in the official forum: https://community.atxinc.com/forums/thread/270593.aspx

Did you let ATX know the form is wrong?

Ah, thanks for the clarification for us n00bs.

It was $200 last year when I did my first NC S corp, plus a $20 annual report fee. I gave my client the option of doing the annual report themselves online: https://www.sosnc.gov/divisions/business_registration/annual_report

Good riddance!

If a 1099 is wrong, put it where the IRS will look for it, back it out as an expense and show it where you know it goes.

Glad it worked for ya!

If you rolled over awhile ago, delete and rollover again. It rolled over fine for a Sch E two days ago.

Never had a problem in 20 years of doing it this way.

See? This is why I always print everything to PDF first.

If you get an error that some component needs to be updated, go to Support, Customer Service Utilities, Refresh App Configurations. I never knew/needed this, but it just showed up in a topic on the official forum.

To free up disk space in Backups ATX backups Companies and Payers thousands of times during the year. This can easily use 7GB of drive space. You really only need the last few backups. You can find your backup folder by running Admin Console for that year's program. It should be in your menu or you can search for Sfs.ServerHost.AdminConsole.exe in Program File (x86). The Files Settings tab shows both your File Server location and your Backup Server location. Go into the ATX 20yy Backup folder, and delete all but the last few (I leave 10 but really 3-5 is probably enough) and delete the thousands of unneeded backups. If you do this several times during the year, ATX will start naming the files at (1) again, so the latest backup may not be the highest number. You can view the properties of the files to see which ones have the latest date. I just did this for 4 years and freed up about 30GB of drive space.

Move fixed assets to another return If you need to keep the existing return, duplicate it and add the new main form (1120S, 1065, etc.) to the duplicate file and replace the old main form. If you don't need to keep the existing return, just add the new main form.

ATX needs to improve their Knowledge Base. It took my 5 different tries to find the right words for the solution to this problem and it only refers to 1040 to a 1041: https://support.cch.com/sfs#q=copy fixed assets to another return&t=All&sort=relevancy&f:@commonproduct=[ATX™]

This post should be pinned.

Still on office 2010 here. No need to spend more money, until absolutely forced to. We don't do fancy things with office, just letters and simple spreadsheets.

Our new network has some old computers on it using win7, while all of the newer ones are on win8. When you use them side by side for routine tasks, win7's inferiority is obvious and annoying. All new computers we're building are going to use 8.

No, just amend whoever you want to be first on the return and add the other taxpayer. IRS knows how to handle this.

You have to edit the registry to view the DWORD. See the microsoft link earlier.
