TAXMAN

I submitted this again to ATX with no results. I also submitted to them a new reurn in which I was filing out the comparison page for previous year and found it can't add correctly. Try it. Make a dummy. Put 10k as income and put 10k as interest and see if yours reduces the A total by 1%. Would like to hear on these issues. Thanks

This was a sale of raw land. No imp or dep. 1099-s shows gross sale but I do not see in ATX program for the new forms for D that shows how or were to enter this 1099-S. Maybe I have overlooked a box somewhere.

Just bumping up as I saw another issue on printers. I have been using HP 4050's for many years now. I wonder if I can refill cartridges instead of buying them?

Ok I give up. Where do I imput a 1099-s sale of real esate(not Home)? Nothing on the new form indicates a form 1099-s. :scratch_head:

Can we still use the 8453 with the 8949 with the information. I really don't like to put in 30 to 50 sales if I don't have to. Also how would you bill for this if you had to put these in?

Any futher news on this question?

Just moving back up. Would really like someones take on this issue as I am seeing more of these showing up.

I would like to know this also. Can you do HP 4050 cartridges the same way?

Any news as of yet on the 09 return. Was it a personal return?

Just noticed my billing does not pick up all the transactions on the new form required. Anyone figured out a pricing plan for all this work? Some of these 1099B's I am seeing leave a lot to be desired. Can you see CP2000 notices this fall? :scratch_head:

Doesn't death of one of the spouses also reduce the carry over the next year to half? TP's been filing MFJ all years.

My TP had a stroke(left side), 5% of heart still working. Dr wrote he probably would neve get much better.(adl wise). Still has a rather shart mind. (83) Some things he can do on his own as long as they are simple. Went through audit with this. Took all except personal items and survived. Not saying this will work in every case just be ready to defend your position. My 2 Cents worth.

Linda, Is that correct that we cannot use the 8453 and attach stmt as long as it is in correct format?

Hello Jack, Would you post on that experiance with old returns. Like how do we know that they would me the MEF rules, aceptance time etc. as I have a couple I would like to try. Thanks

Wonder if any of the other states have this type of site?

Since the new revised MEF system went into play part of that number is a time /date stamp and it changes every time you recreate the efile. The ones that don't change are the ones with the old legacy file number. Virgina still uses the old DCN ranges however each state has their own way of doing things. Hope this sheds some light. As for the 4 little letters I have had that happen maybe 2 time this year. Do not know from whence it came. Appers to be the start of a font.

Thanks Kinda of the way I was leaning but 2nd opinions always help.

What I have here is: Dad an active farmer all his life is now 100% confined to house due to age and other medical reasons. Has medical care in home as he is unable to care for himself. Daughter who also farmed all her life with dad keeps farm going. Sells his cows and hers, pays all expenses. Dads account to pay his, hers to pay hers. I really do not see how I can reasonably keep his schedule F alive. More like a sharecropper. Dad owns all the land and buildings and some equipment left on depreciation. They(dtr) do not want to file a 1065. Would you file the Schedule F and limit the loss to that of income since Dad cannot actively farm? What other suggestions might you have? Thanks for all the help. :scratch_head:

Publication 1345 said order Pub 3005 E-file marketing kit. I could not find this. :unsure:

Anybody had a chance to check this out? :unsure:

I watched this video and the thing that caught my ear was that if it is a MEF file we can still file some old 2010 returns. Anybody know how to tell if a 2010 return would be a MEF return?

I too have done this. Never filed more than 10 in any other state in which I am not licensed. Some states use Fed guidelines. If ok by Fed than ok by state.

I found out that employer is withholding hours to make up rent#'s. So if TP reports on line other income and pays SS/MT on the amount he would be clear. Sounds to me like bartering. Any additional thoughts please. Thanks

Landscaper (sch C) provides housing for 2 employees(not on his property but in a different town 20 miles away) . Employees sometimes keeps business trucks at this location in order to be on job sites early or have to repair them. Question now is what do we do with this so called rent not being paid or FMV of housing not showing up on W-2? Landscaper is not showing rent on tax return. Mortgage co saying W-2 not high enough or this number not showing up in other box, or Employee pays no rent. Employees pay all utilities at this location. I think if we treat this as other income on return and pay the SS/MT employee may be ok. I think employer may have a real problem if he tries to deduct this as other iexpense. I still think employer may be withholding rent amount and then calculating tax. Can't be sure as employer doesn't appear to be doing this on the paystubs. May be employer is holding off hours to compensate for the rent and then paying employees. Any thoughts on how to handle W-2 or fix employees tax return. I may be asked to prepare W-2's for company and want no rats in the woodpile. Thanks for any imput.

Thanks all. I Kinda thought this might be the way. However sometimes 2 or 3 heads are better than one. :rolleyes:
