Thanks, Max!

Well, .

Your guru must be older. We cloned all of our hard drives to SSDs with no problems. Well, a lot of programs like QuickBooks detected the hardware change and ask us to re-register, but that wasn't so bad. It used to be that windows got 'arthritis' and it was often better to start fresh and reinstall, but that hasn't been a problem for awhile.

One of my clients is looking to expand into Canada and needs to consult with someone experienced in all aspects of that. Let me know if you're interested.

Congrats and enjoy you next chapter!

I tend to buy the fastest computer with other high end components because computers slow down over time and I don't want to be frustrated by the inevitable slow downs. My computer is 6 years old this month and still going strong. I replaced the C drive with an SSD a few years back and I've replaced the CPU cooler and the graphics card, but the rest is original.

One of many, for sure.

It takes all kinds! Maybe you should give her some sick days, though.

I've worked with a lot of people like that. Some of them miss several days after every snow. They're scared to death to drive if there's any snow on any part of the road. Driving on snow and ice is not taught in drivers ed, so you have to learn how to do it on your own.

250 GB is pretty small for OS and programs. I have a 500 GB SSD which formats to about 476 GB and I have about 309 GB free with 10 years of ATX, QuickBooks and everything else. This year I moved all my ATX backups for 2012-2017 to my D drive. Total was about 19 GB. I left the data on my C drive.

Does it print on plain paper or do you need to buy forms?

Yes, in the rollover screen there are checkboxes to the right where you can rollover many things.

My ex would get mad at me for not kissing her when she was sick. I'm not joking.

That is not a VPN. That is Windows Remote Access. A VPN is a remote drive that just has the data on it. You use QB locally and access the remote drive just like any other drive on your network except it goes over the internet.

I never see the CAPTCHAs when logging in. Your browser might be clearing your cookies and saved logins. The new two-factor login is a new cookie from cchaxcess.com. I don't find this type of two-factor security very secure. I prefer the ones that text my phone. I will likely turn this off.

Did you get an error message? I've had good luck googling the error. I remember deleting some files was the fix for one QB not starting error.

10 is largely based on 8.

My first reaction is Sch D capital loss on the loan. I'm guessing the loan was not secured by the property.

I'm not familiar with AMD chips but it appears it does run 8: https://www.amazon.com/Gateway-E1-1200-Windows-Desktop-SX2110G-UW308/dp/B00AQYSPA2

I upgraded to Windows 8 in December 2012 and it's been a very positive experience. Like you, I'm not touching 10 until I'm absolutely forced to. Not a week goes by that I don't see an article or two reporting on windows 10 troubles. And Windows 8 will get you more used to a Windows 10 like interface. Do you know which generation processor you have? Newer processors won't allow you to update either 8 or 7. I just had to replace a motherboard and had to make sure we got an older processor, and that limited our motherboard choices.

It's only for new or modified divorce agreements after 12/31/18 and the fact the recipient is getting it tax free should be factored into the payment amount.

I always highly customize the questions and get rid of the ones that are way too obscure. Always tweaking my wording when I see too many clients misinterpreting the question. I don't like to send them until after the new year. I like to let people enjoy their holidays without having to think about taxes.

Thank you, @DANRVAN!

Capital gain income is not automatically distributed so the estate pays the tax on that. Main exception is final return, when everything passes out.

QuickBooks all the way. We pay for the Enhanced Accountant Payroll package from Intuit and efile all W2s right inside QB. We still paper file 1099s because Intuit wants to charge us for those. It makes no sense to me to print these to a PDF and import them into ATX. Seems like way too much work.
