Eric, I sign out when leaving the forum, but when I return, I'm already signed in. I like to click on view new content, but I keep getting a long list of topics I've already reviewed. I've looked all around at settings but can't seem to find why I'm not staying signed out. I would like to sign in, and view only the topics since my last visit.

Anyone else having this problem. With a 1220S return, when going to print menu, 4562 won't print. Depreciation schedules print. When leaving print menu, 4562 is blank. Actual info is there and included in the overall return calculations. Depreciation schedules are there and viewable with the info. If I close return and reopen, 4562 is back with the info. But when going back to print menu, same thing happens. I can print the 4562 with the info using the print page button (after I reopen return and before going into print menu). Doesn't happen in 1040 returns. Haven't tried 1065 yet. Will be trying that soon. I think there are several funky things happening with that print menu.

I use Acrobat, send encrypted with a password. I don't send the password in the email but a hint as to what it is, something they would know. I'm not a techie, but I think Jack and Eric are both right.

A funky thing I just encountered. 1120S 4562 page one has 179 item. Everything shows ok. But when I go to the print function, Form 4562 doesn't print. The depreciation schedules print with the correct 179 info. When I leave the print function, Form 4562 is blank. The 179 info is still there on Sch K and K-1, etc. When I close the return and open it, the info is back on the 4562. But it happens again when I go to print. I updated to 12.9 but that didn't correct it. Anyone else have this problem and a fix?

I saw a quirk in the print report. I sorted incomplete returns by created date. The correct dates showed up on screen, but when I printed the report, all returns listed the same date, the first date listed. Maybe 12.9 will correct that. I'll try.

On the print options tab under 4562 form, when I only had the regular depreciation tagged to print, I couldn't get them to print. But when I tagged the AMT and Next year, etc (all the items) to print, it did print. Not sure why it wouldn't print the other way. Not sure if that's the same as your problem.

I've not had these problems either. Just seems slow opening returns and the minor stuff. I was wondering if those who installed early and on servers might be having continuing problems that the updates just didn't clear out, maybe the updates made things worse. I don't know the answer, just throwing something out. I have lower volume and a stand alone computer, W7, 16gb RAM.

I may rethink prepaying. I may also rethink and try other demos after the season when they offer them free. I just don't know yet. I haven't had the problems others have had.

Interesting comments Bulldog. I agree with your number 1. I don't think they planned to do away with ATX. But as you say, this may have consequences beyond their control. We'll see how it goes.

Like Jack, I've been trying to hang in with ATX. But recently, my thoughts are turning to a possible switch next year. Dread it but sometimes, you have to change.

I appreciate your comments on Drake. I also see from the subject headings here regarding TRX (I don't read those posts) that it appears they too have had a lot problems. I have a lot less volume than Jack from Ohio, but I tend to think like him and I'm just trying to be patient with ATX.

Did I miss something? There's no separate line for reporting the 1099-K receipts for businesses (1120S, 1065, 1040 Sch C). Last year they had the line on the forms but not for use. I thought they were required this year.

Ok, thanks.

When I close ATX, I sometimes get a popup message that says the program has stopped and there's the option to close the program or have Windows scan for troubleshooting. It's the message that appears when a program stops working on its own. But this is happening when I am actually closing the program. I suppose it does no harm since I'm closing it anyway. Anyone else seeing this?

How can I keep the descriptions from truncating?

I think someone posted that ATX2012 won't allow us to unprotect a form anymore. I did like to use this to widen the colunm width on some things, especially the depreciation schedules so descriptions would not truncate. Anyone know if we can still widen columns somehow?

Not sure but W7 has C:Program DataCCH Small Firm ServicesATX2012BackupCompany

Have you had the problem with the check return causing the program to close? From another thread, I was wondering if the depreciation had something to do with that problem.

Are we just unable to file a return with depreciation? Can we complete the return, have client sign 8879 and then file when given the go ahead?

Is it something to do with a return with depreciatio? I saved it before, and checked the return, then was prompted about attaching a pdf file to the efile. Was looking around on how to do that and then had the problem.

No, everything is there. When I clicked the check return, the program closed.

Same here. Happened when I did a check return.

When I sign out of the forum and later come back, I see I'm already signed in. This has only started recently. Not sure what's going on. I tried signing out, then come back to the forum right away and I see I need to sign in. But if I wait awhile before coming back to the forum, I see I'm already signed in. Anyone else seeing this?

I think this was discussed in the past. Client paid some individual subcontractors during the year. Doesn't have the ID and address. Person no longer doing any work for the client. Client can't track down the person. I know I told him many times to get the W9 before paying anyone. But here we are. Do you prepare an incomplete 1099 with only name and amount paid? Do you NOT prepare the 1099? Do you still take the deduction on client's business return. I seem to recall some saying he is still entitled to the deduction and some saying they would not take the deduction. The new forms with the question about 1099s comes into play as well.

I think I came across that ruling too. I agree this is more complicated than the general overview of the idea. That's why I'm trying to get to the heart of it. Some elder law specialist is proposing this and I was wondering how they would get the Sec 121 exclusion. Personally, I wouldn't want to fight the IRS if it were disallowed. I suppose some people have bought and sold several homes along the way and the would be gain on their most recent residence would not be very much. But for someone who bought their home 50 years ago, it could come back to haunt them. That's why I'm leaning heavily against such a thing.
