Also from Start Page (Tiles), you can page down and get a complete listing of programs. Swipe with a touch screen, or click the down arrow button at lower left.

In W8, if you hit the Windows key + X, you get a nice pop up menu, giving you quick options to just about everything.

Good to know.

I'm probably thinking of the SE health insurance deduction (limited to medicare wages).

I don't have a reference off hand, but I thought it was limited to Medicare wages.

Did you come from W7 or earlier? I currently have W8.1 so I'm thinking the learning curve won't be as steep.

I tend to agree but I wouldn't update an existing system to W10. When I buy new, I'll go with W10.

Am I going to have a problem with you, Raylon?

Keeps the dust out too.

Yes, the buyer will probably just want to buy the assets so the seller will probably not have a choice.

The only thing I would add is don't hire your own attorney. How would you know who to call, what their experience is in these matters? Contact E&O first, let them pick the attorney when and if one is necessary.

What are some of the ways people are using this? Can you save them to a file? If so, how are they organized by topic or client file? Are they just temporary reminder lists to yourself? I've used the Acrobat post it notes on pdf files but they are specific notes for that pdf. And I can save them attached to that pdf file.

I didn't realize it was in Windows. There is a similar feature in Acrobat and I have used post it notes on my pdf files for some time.

Amazing. I've had clients who tell my they know someone who works at IRS or who retired from IRS and this person says they can do this or that. As if these IRS personnel know all and are the final authority.

Yes, but on the other hand, brokers can push these and they don't understand them anymore than the average person. And of course, the industry got these laws passed thru to allow these things. In the real sense, calling them 'partners' and receiving K-1s for this kind of thing seems absurd, But as you said, the investor should look into these things more closely.

How long does it take the IRS to notify someone who took the credit and wasn't qualified? I asked a friend who bought a Prius in 2014 if he had a plug-in. He said no but his wife prepared their tax return and took the credit. Uh oh. I didn't do the return and had nothing to do with it. I was wondering if they'll get a notice and owe the credit back.

Thanks for info. This was what I was seeing too. Client doesn't have the plug-in. So no credit available. I think the salesmen are telling them they get a tax credit.

I'm looking all over for credit info on autos. New 2015 Prius. Hybrid gas/battery. Has this been phased out? Does it have to be a plug-in now to qualify for a credit?

For the sake of the topic, what depreciable property? Is he talking about reducing his basis in the 'stock' (LP units costs? I wouldn't thing that's depreciable property.

ATX has a good worksheet for KY if you need to take another state tax credit. You have to enter some income info but once the income is entered, the appropriate tax credit is calculated. I don't recall any add-on for this and the worksheet has been there several years.

LLC wants to dissolve and file final return for short year in 2016. Should they officially dissolve with the Ky Secretary of State first, then I prepare the final return or should they choose a month, file final return, then dissolve with Sec of State? I'm not sure which comes first, the chicken or the egg.

Seems there should have been an additional statement to explain that box entry. Sometimes the statements are much help though.

I do this too.

I've finished mine. Or at least emailed the ones who will probably owe. It's up to them to make a payment. The real pain is the local govts want their own extensions with a payment for the businesses. I've got them emailed.

Client emailed me and said he got thru to someone at IRS and it's all clear now. Not sure what happened but I assume he gave him the info from the 9325 and they were able to track it down. Good for me to not have to make a call in the morning to efile help desk.
