I have PGP (now owned by Symantec). I use it for my HD and external HDs, and flashdrives. I haven't used it for emails though, been using Acrobat. Jack- I might agree that the stuff on TV shows is fantasy, but I'm not ready to assume there's no risk out there. Especially on the wi-fi stuff.

I use Acrobat. It allows you to send an attachment encrypted with a password as well. I give them a hint of what the password is, in the body of the email. I'm more concerned with wireless. I don't know much about it and the security features. Right now, I'm not mobile with my work, only in the office. But in the future I want to do more with a laptop, etc.

I use custom printing too. But on the payroll returns, I noticed a check mark to remember the last printing. And if I had it set for multiple copies, the next time, it will print that number of copies if I don't un-check the box or change the number of copies. Not sure if that applies to your problem.

In this situation, I duplicate the original and rename, then do the corrected 1099. That way I have them both in the program.

If the client has other 1099s, just include yourself. Is that really worth an extra charge? If you're the only one, hey do it without charge. If the additional fee is a major issue, increase the regular fee and just consider the 1099 inclusive.

But Bob, your picture looks the same.

Starts Tuesday, April 17. Just kidding. Well sort of.

P.S. Would anyone like me to post an example of my FA workbook? Yes

Also: The tax support with the checklists, etc. might be worth it, but I think I get a lot more from PPC. I pay a lot more though.

I'm still a AICPA member but I keep asking myself why. I do get some insurance and discounts on KyCPA things by being a AICPA member. But I don't see much advantage in joining their additional sections and paying the additional membership dues. I subscribe to some other tax sources(PPC) and I get the CCH Intelliconnect (Express books, master tax guide, alerts, etc) thru my ATX program. I used to subscribe to AICPA's The Tax Adviser but I didn't find it all that helpful and I get better info from PPC's Deskbooks.

Anyone look into thte iTransact service? I was wondering about that. I haven't looked into it yet.

I've been updating both QB and Peachtree every year. But I'm wondering for how much longer. Just paid $434 for QB 2012, $100 more than last year for QB 2011. I dropped the Pro Advisor long ago.

When does the efiling officially begin, Jan 17?

Will we receive a notice that we need to renew or do we just have to remember to renew? Thanks for this original post because I think I already forgot about it.

I'd wait until January. I know you want to get it out of the way, but how many people will lose their W2s?

Suddenly I'm missing a font. My font in ATX is very small. I'm not sure what happened. Also other programs. I first noticed it in Excel. But on websites also. I tried the change back to default fonts. I tried checkdisk. In ATX, the forms are small print. It evens prints out on paper in a smaller print. Has anyone encountered something like this before? Any suggestions?

Regarding the print manager. Are you including this: When you print certain items, and there is more than one, only one prints. Either the first one or the one that was opened and left open. For example, you may have 5 W2s. When printing the W2 input worksheet, only one will print. When printing asset input, only one will print. I would like to check the category on the print menu and have all items in that category print.

I've been requesting the Kenton County/Cities (KY) annual return for several years but it may be down the list on their local returns to include.

I don't know why anyone using a computer for business purposes would not want the full W7 64 bit professional. I have the ultimate version.

I bought two Seagates (1 terabyte) from Quill in December. $80 each.

I'd like to get back to my 9 Volume History of Philosophy by Coppleston. I'm somewhere in the middle of Vol 5.

I have 3 monitors too. Only 23" though. I only use 2 for myself and the 3rd for clients to view (mirrors my left monitor). I have them landscape and can fit two docs and/or programs on each. I can size them to fit the screen, but I do like to magnify for easier reading and then I have to scroll. But they are great.

I got a new computer last fall. I have a solid state HD with W7 on the solid state HD, my c drive. But it only has 150gb so I have the regular type HD, 1 terabyte, my d drive. I wanted to install ATX on the the c drive and direct my date files to the d drive. With some other programs, during installation prompts, you can direct your data to another place other than the program's default file. ATX told me I couldn't do it, that both program and data had to be on the same drive. So I installed ATX on my d drive. I had hoped for faster response on the c drive, the solid state hd but had to settle for it on the regular hd. I do have my os W7 on the solid state hd.

They confuse the two rules, one regarding taking it back if you have a certain amount of earnings and are under the full retirement age (66/67) and the other rule about it being taxable (up to 85% of it).

With the Fed efile 'form' open, there should be a tab at the bottom. It's toward the right and you might have to widen the window for it to come into view.
