I like the Master Tax Guide for quick references to topics and find it quicker to just pick up the printed book. Anything further, I'll use the electronic research.

What about KY? I have been wondering the past few years if it is KY or ATX.

I agree, it could get a little messy.

Wow, you're brave. No way I'm going to be a trustee. Are you running the 10K tomorrow? I'll be there.

I've been using the tax schedule for the property tax reports. Can we still capitalize the smaller items and use 179? Seems the client would still get the tax write-off and it would retain a asset schedule. I don't have to worry about the 179 max limitations with my clients.

I have a DSL connection. I was thinking of getting a fiber optic connection. Not sure how much additional that will cost. Anyone have fiber optic and notice a big difference in speed regarding downloads?

Same here Jack. I'll probably wait until mid-Dec.

I have Acrobat 11 Pro. The menu option says encrypt with password. I was wondering when people say password protect their attachments, does that automatically encrypt? I was wondering if there is a separate thing going on, a distinction between encryption and just adding a password. In Acrobat 11 Pro, it appears to be doing both.

Is this their complete list for 2016 or are they working on additional states? I've been waiting for KY. Also, is this a holdup at ATX or the individual states?

Thanks for replies.

At the upper left of this screen, click on Activity. Submenu below it has My Activity Streams. A drop down menu has various choices.

Any recommendations on a simple low cost bookkeeping software or just check writing software? A small business client has asked about it. QB is a bit much and costly for his purposes. I've seen a little on CheckSoft and Bookkeeper.

You might think about segmentation too. Equipment that can removed and is used 100% business from structural additions that are part of the house.

I use the import function too for those 1099Bs with many entries.

I agree. I scan for my own files. But I enter the info. I don't trust the accuracy, not to mention possible glitches it may cause.

I didn't know there was a separate program. With ATX open, drop down menu from return manager shows Backup and Restore options.

And watch out for the imaginary character i.

Just remembered to do mine the other day. Fee was down to $50 instead of $63 previously.

I don't think that happens. But if you've had those states the prior year, they will appear in the new year when you roll over the return.

For email, I wait until the questions/exchange is completed, then print/pdf the whole thread and save into the client file. I don't use text. It's not that easy to print and save the thread.

Just did it yesterday with an 1120S. Went thru EFC, accepted by IRS. Did the associated 1040. Went thru EFC, transmitted to IRS. Waiting for IRS acknowledgement. Maybe I already had the 2015 efile version loaded. But the original rejection was at EFC with 2014 in the submission id number.

A quicker way without the deletions. The rejection is at EFC, not IRS. If the only rejection error is that the submission ID contains 2014 (found in the EFinfo), then just recreate the efile. Look for the new automatically assigned submission ID. It should now contain 2015. Then transmit again.

I believe the $600 amount is only for the issuer of the 1099. The recipient of less than $600 is still required to claim it as income. Ha!

I have the lowest ShareFile plan. $192 a year. It doesn't have the e-signature function. I also have Acrobat (v11 I think).
