Yup. Just wave your W-2 in front of your screen and your return is magically done. Go figure.

Go figure???? But they won't reject a return because of it not being there.

I have argued point that TP in state A should be an employer. Reps work for TP only. Reps have been filing Schedule C for last 4 years that I can tell. It seems like they are willing to go this route. IRS may look at it differently if audited.

Basic facts. TP has business in State A. Finds sales reps in States b and c who work from home and never travel anywhere. They receive phone calls and internet contacts. Place orders to manufacturers. Manufacturers produce item and sends to customer in state D. Customer sends payment to TP in state A. TP in State A Pays reps STATED same amount every week.(unless reps take a day off) Issues form 1099misc to reps in states b and c. Would this in your opinion justify a QBI deduction for the reps in states b&c?

Lets go back to part of the answer. What does a client on his end need? I see above that client gets form, prints form, signs form then uploads back. if client prints form and signs it how does he upload it back? I am almost as dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to this digital age. My son now knows more about this stuff then I will ever learn or remember how to do it.

Hey Virginia guys. Did you notice that the extra refund received in October is included in the 1099 if TP gets a 1099 from the state. Where I seem to have a problem is a calculation when the Federal A was forced and the cap is sitting there. Most of time no brainer but I have a few that used sales tax because of it(the cap) in order not to report taxable refunds this year. Maybe I am overthinking this thing. I took Possi's response and tried it on a dummy return. Yup crazy as it sounds that's the way it worked out.

Finished all w-2's and 1099's today late. Think I will take off Sunday and watch game b-4 next week gets cranked up.

Sometimes yes sometimes no. 4 times today ATX has encountered an error the program needs to close. Wonder what the problem is? Brand new computer with win-10 and only tax software loaded.

All I need to know is if anybody knows where the forms rate values are kept for 2017 and 2018. I have told computer not to hide files. When I needle down through the folders and file I cannot locate the forms value. Just hoping somebody knows. Thanks

We had external backups from our clients 's data so that we could import a return if needed. Old server took a hike to the point it will not boot or do anything. I T guy called it a dumb drive. I can get to the old files for the client data. OK there. What I can't find is where did ATX store the billing data? If I can find the old file I CAN get it off the old server. I just need to know where this file may be in 2018 or 2017? I T guy could not find it mainly because we didn't know where ATX put it. Thanks for the help.

Is there a link or info on this Extended support?

Hey Abby Can you give us atxr's some of your popular fixes.I have a couple would like more.

I wonder if the programmers will go back and change their software at this point for the 2018 returns. My thought is they will fix 2019 to the new rules. Anyone from Virginia know what they will do?

I found this to being annoying in that you may 1099r Jones using the same FEI# but 4 different addresses. I tried to clean it up but it became useless. Any body have a smart way to do it I am all ears.

Gotta wonder what that electric bill will be. Anyway Merry Christmas to all. Can I say that??

Dad once told me "Locks only keep a honest man honest" So If I really wanted your stuff I will find a way to get it. Kinda old adage ain't it.

Anybody have a worksheet for selling a residence that was converted to a rental and sold after the 5yrs have passed?

The last one I was in, I very politely excused myself stating I would have a conflict of interest in trying to represent either. I suggested that each seek a CPA suggested by their respective attorneys. I would give them copies of whatever I had. However in this case both attorneys requested the same info. by way of a subpoena. Don't know what happened as both parties moved out of state after all was said and done.

Catherine. TP service said use it or use it if I have outran my 5 year c/o. Thank you for the #.

To all my friends in MASS. If TP took out Septic loan in 2013 under betterment provisions low interest and subsidized loan taking credit each year. Tax year 2018 would be last year under 5yr carryover. TP sold residence late in 2018. Doe TP lose remainder of credit or what? I cannot find a good answer. Manny Thanks.

My server uses win 10 and the workstations all use win 7 pro. Will this work until I can get workstations up to win-10?

Judy, If it is a first and final then does that income pass to the heir(mom is only heir)?

TP was single never married.

Ok, I am lost as to this issue. TP deceased may 2017. Only asset was personal residence(mom was sole heir and sold house 12-07-2017). TP had some AR from work done before death(self employed). $ received after death belong on the 1041. Mom did not follow ordering of payouts from deceased meaning she overpaid limits set by Virginia . My problem is I found 2 Forms 1099-c marked as follows. Date of event 12-05-2017 and 11-24-2017 both with code G and issued in TP's #. As best we can tell TP was not insolvent at time of death. Question is do I report these on final 1040 or final 1041? Your responses and thoughts appreciated.

It seems to me that with the like kind being taken off the table, trade value becomes a sale price. In the event of 179 and bonus in prior years WILL come to haunt you as several of my farmers did. Income averaging for farmers worked good this year but probably not next. Ask him if you can have a peek at what his BUDDIES did. I hear this a lot. This seems to be a problem when tp's want to owe no tax. Just thinking to myself.
