Ok, thanks for the tip.

Yes. Originally to be yesterday, then I saw the date pushed back to Friday. Nice surprise to see it out today. Now for the planner.

In ATX, when you hit print 1040, all six schedules print. There's no selection of the schedules to print or not print. Just as well, I too don't know where everything is so might as well have all six schedules printed whether there's anything on them or not.

Sorry, yes under Returns. It's the first tab far left. In other software, that's usually 'File'. I sent that off the top of my head.

I'm not sure what you're doing. I go to File/Change Printer and set my printer (my paper printer). When hitting the print button, my File copy printer is set to the printer I set under Change Printer (paper printer for client copy). Under Print button, for preparer copy, I change it to my pdf printer.

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one.

I thought banks only issued 1099-INT if the amount was $10 or more.

I think I understand it except when it comes to the rentals. I'll need to take a closer look when those come into play. For rentals with a loss, someone mentioned, the loss will have to be netted against any other qualified pass thru income. And the loss will have to be carried forward to offset a future profit. Is this true? Also, if the rental is showing a profit in the current year, do we have to bring forward past year losses to offset the current year profit?

I went to 365 a year ago when I got a new computer so I should have the latest. It was only $99 a year.

I see 4.7.03056 on my computer. What is DWORD? I don't see the numbers for DWORD.

Is that for W7? I have W10 and I see v4.0.30319

Whew!

With taxes, I wonder if one has 20-30 years experience or one year experience 20-30 times.

I'm still confused. Who owns and rents property without a profit motive? It seems like it would be a trade or business even if it is not your primary job. Most of my clients with rentals have losses anyway. But I have one client who owns about 20 properties with no mortgage interest and has a nice profit. It is not his primary business but I'm thinking it would qualify.

Thanks Jack. I'll take a look.

Same here. Then I got the ix500 a year ago. Go figure.

Thanks Jack. I will look again. But I think I cleaned both glass covers. I hate the stick em stuff too. I try to get it all off before scanning.

I have a Fujitsu ix500 scanner. It was showing streaks in the scans. I've cleaned it every way I can using their recommended F1 cleaner. I have clean scans now on the front side. But when I use the two sided scanning, I still get a vertical black streak on the back side. Anyone have any helpful tips on how to get rid of the streak?

This is referring to an Oct 2018 windows update. I assume I already have that update. I'm not sure how to set up a 2nd user account. When I go to control panel and mange user account, I was asked for my email. A message said I would need to be connected to the internet, then a finish button and then nothing more.

Thanks for replies. There will be no need now. The beneficiaries will make their own estimated tax payments. There was a question of one beneficiary wanting the estate to pay the tax but he's ok with making his own payment. Whew.

Can an estate withhold income tax on behalf of beneficiaries and report it on their K-1s?

Also, tell the WF rep to check with WF tax department or higher ups. Get it right before the checks are issued.

Amen. I don't know enough to dare to tread in there.

I'm thinking of mentioning an increase in my engagement letter. Not a specific percentage or amount. Then be more specific when they bring their info depending on the client's circumstances. I'm planning on a general $25 or $50 increase for most returns. More if the return has more work involved. For new clients, I plan to quote much higher.

I've had 8 and now 10. The look was a little of both. I got used to 8, then had to adjust again to 10. If I were going from W7, I'd just go to W10.
