Anyone doing Ky returns? Business info efiling form is showing not yet available. But ATX list of forms shows it as approved. I'm not sure of why the delay. Same is true for Fed 1040 ES.

For me, it shows up in red when I do the check return. Although I never got the message when doing a dependent's return not claiming self.

What is a client answers yes. Is there something else we have to do?

Thanks for comments.

Client went on a church mission. Out of pocket costs for flight, lodging, meals. I assume costs for himself but not for the family are deductible. How is this reported on the Form 8283?

I was just curious why it's blank. Wasn't it printed on the form previously?

I noticed this last year. It was on Sch 6 I think. This year it is back on page 2 of 1040. But even with the boxes checked on the main info page, it doesn't show up on 1040 page 2. Anyone else seeing this?

Anyone know anything about this? Do we need a signed form before efiling an extension for business entities, Form 7004?

Just loaded a Forms update, not a Program update. This seems to be corrected. SocSec worksheet now including amounts from Line 6.

I agree with Jack.

Form 8878 is for efiling approval of indidividual extension requests (4868). Is there an equivalent for s corps to use for 7004? There's 8879-S for the actual return. I looked for 8878-S in the corp forms and 8878 is for electronic funds withdrawal.

I only do a few. I've not had that problem so far.

Abby, any word back from ATX on this fix?

I'll just use 1040. I never used 1040A or 1040-EZ.

Thanks for the heads up. Just worked on a return with 20k short term cap gains. Without line 6, none of SocSec taxable. But with line 6 included, yes. I was able to override the amount in the ATX worksheet. I went back to 2018 ATX and entered info in the planner and got the correct result.

I've told clients to keep blank W9s in their truck. Get it as soon as a new person wants work. Tell them no W9, no work. But still clients don't do it. I don't know why. Over and over again.

On Sch C Data tab, there are boxes to check for QBI.

I'm just a one person office. I use a Win10 computer for my work. I have my previous Win8 computer in my office. I don't connect it to the internet anymore. I have the previous computer to that a Win7 at home. I don't connect that to the internet either. I do have a laptop. I bought it when Win8 came out. I upgraded it to Win10. A lot of funny things happened. I won't go into them and I don't have the techie expertise to describe them. Luckily I don't use the laptop for work, just connecting to the internet at home. Many here are more tech knowledgeable than me. For me and my experience, I will not upgrade the OS. I'll buy a new computer with the latest OS.

I can't find in ATX where to do that.

When I go to print client mailing labels, the format is 3 columns. Is there a way to set it for only 2 columns?

I don't want to look. They all probably make more than me.

Total Tax cost me $2400. I'm sure off hand what Total Tax has more than Max and less than Advantage.

Grubbing for berries and dodging bullets.

I've used Bitlocker with my last two computers (Win8 and Win10). But I too like the Symantec (old PGP) shredder function. So I still have the Symantec on my new computer but I don't use if for encryption, just the Bitlocker. Does anyone know if Bitlocker (Windows) has a shredding function?

Reminds me of an old David Bowie song: President Joe once had a dream, so he told them his scheme for a Saviour Machine . . .
