I agree.

I'm sorry. I have a new computer but I'm a stand alone. So I don't have as much going on.

I don't know why this person is having so many problems. There must be something unique going on. Like others, I haven't had this problem. Only once in a while with large print jobs. But nothing like previous years. The software is a little slow but I think that's because it is a spreadsheet based program or that's what I've heard.

I'm probably a few years away. How are you looking for a buyer? I receive the mailings about this. But I'm not looking for a bundle. And I know my fees have been much lower than most people. I was thinking of someone close, not big. Maybe someone going out on their own.

I can leave the form in my client return. The red comments in ATX came up. But when I deleted items in columns A and B, the advance premium amounts remain in column F, totals on lines 25 & 27, but puts zero in line 29. Then when I create the efile, Form 8962 does not show up in Forms efiled. So it stays in the return in my ATX (presumably to be rolled over next year) but does not get sent with the efiled current return.

And what about this Venmo? Anyone using it? A couple of clients have asked if they could pay me with Venmo.

Thanks. I guess I was getting the ES April 15 date mixed in. With all the new stuff, it seemed there were differences in the extension date. I assumed ATX was on top of it.

ATX updated the client letter to say that IRA contributions must be made by May 17. I thought the due date remained April 15 for IRA contributions.

After a while, they open up to us. The good things, babies, kids growing up, going to college, grandchildren. And the bad things too, divorce, drugs, death.

I take that back. After closing the app and going back in, line 29 was reset to zero. Does this mean we go ahead and include the Form or do we still discard it?

Sometimes maybe a spouse. But over the years, I've met most of the spouses too.

ATX just had a Form update and included 8962. At the top of the Form, it says line 29 will be set to zero but it did not reset my client amount on line 29 to zero. I think I still need to discard the Form 8962 and show zero to be paid back. Anyone think so?

It went thru this morning.

I do this as well. But I do advise the client to contact the Ky Sec of State. I think it's a simple form to officially close the corp.

Ha. I think I still have to watch the last season. I get them on DVD. I've watched it thru several times. I shouldn't admit this in public.

Ragnar Lothbrook is on his way. My long hours end April 15 too. I'll do what I can on slow time to May 17, then extensions after that. Ky has conformed to May 17 but only some of the locals have conformed. So now I have to determine who has to file certain local business returns by April 15 and get those extensions ready and with a payment of some amount.

Yes, it goes on.

I'll keep trying until the 14th, then mail.

I ask them to check again, I look at when 2019 was filed, AGI, and 2018 AGI to see if maybe they were or were not eligible, explain to them they should have gotten it (or not). In the end, I go with what the client says. A lot of them bring in the statement (letter) from the 2nd but don't have the letter from the first one.

One I did Feb 23 has gone thru. But I only recently efiled the extension so I don't know how long it took IRS to update the data base.

I've had it happen only a few times. In past years, it happened when I had big print jobs. Much less this year. But I've always closed the program when I was going to be away from it for a while, like checking news.

I got an EIN last Friday for an estate. I've been trying to efile a 1041 extension. I keep getting a rejection notice that it doesn't match the IRS data base. Does anyone know how long it takes IRS to update their data base for new EINs? At first I thought it would have been overnight.

I thought if you 'Amend' return from the open original, then the efile option for 1040X does show up.

Ohio's latest website seems to refer to the old IRS rules, just saying Ohio uses Fed AGI but mentions Fed taxes unemployment so Oh does too. Seems like it's not up to date.

Ky Revenue Cabinet made it official. UI is taxable. Any Fed exclusion will have to be added back for Ky. I haven't heard yet on Ohio but Ohio did conform to the Fed filing date extension.
