I noticed my liability insurance plan has a new form about this with the renewal paperwork.

Since I didn't have an activation code for it, I assumed it was something extra that wasn't included in my package. So I just ignored it. I wondered what it was too.

I'm thinking the same thing. I received a PPC notice a while back. I just copied it and made a few handwritten notes on it and called it my plan. I'm just a one person office so I hope it suffices.

I don't have a set policy of raising everyone across the board or a set percentage. I look at each client. If the return is about the same (time wise), I'll raise every 2 or 3 years, $25 or maybe more. If the difficulty increases, I'll raise each year and more in dollars depending on the circumstances.

I tried it a few years ago. I don't recommend it. I had some problems. Since then, I have put ATX on the C drive and let the program put everything in its own files & folders on the C drive as the program wants to. I would install ATX on the C drive and let the ATX program put everything by default to the C drive as well. The program is looking and putting things where they think they should be. I do not want to interfere with that. I do put my client info and pdf copies of the returns and worksheets on my 2nd internal hard drive (E drive in my case). I also have both C & E drives encrypted.

I've always had it. Hate paying the premiums but I don't want to take the chance.

Ok, thanks.

My question is will insurance companies still be required to issue Forms 1095? I use the form as a convenient documentation for the child credits and Form 8867.

So as of now, there's no fee for 2020 renewal?

I thought they brought back the fee.

I use it. Very helpful with clients when there's a major change in outcome.

We discussed this some time back. I'm not sure why but the new forms don't require the same numbers on 4a as they used to. If you go to the worksheets/statements, you can see the different amounts correctly. I think you still mark it IRA in the checkbox. It just doesn't show up on 4a. I print out the statements showing all the accounts on 4a and 4b for me and the client. Who knows what the new forms for 2019 will do with this.

I think we're looking at two different windows. I'm on W10. Explorer. Right click on file c or e. Menu pops up. Last item on menu says 'Properties'. Click on Properties. Under General tab.

My windows screen shows both used and free space. It's a 3t external HD.

Just bought a new external HD. Copied files to external HD. Original files show 84gb. New external HD showing this is 363gb. Whoa! Anyone know what may be happening here? Properties window shows 84gb size of file, 363gb size on disk.

Sheesh, what next?

Any particular reason not to use MS Edge?

We're not bean counters. We're legume controllers.

Old accountants never die, they just get out of balance.

My last two have been HP. I've had no problems. I didn't buy their usual offerings, though, had it custom built on their Z230 and Z240 workstation. I don't know if that made the difference or not.

Run.

I wouldn't upgrade an old one to Win10. Buy a new computer with Win10.

Thanks.

How do we get to the messages when the efile is accepted with messages?

I'm not sure what you mean. As Jack said, inside the return, the extension form has it's own efile set up. Then when creating an extension, the Fed and state options are there as well as the extension option. Just click on the extension only and an extension efile is created. Then in the efile manager, you'll see the efile for the 4868 or 7004, whichever applies.
