What would cause a workstation to completely lock up itself and the master computer after the workstation rolls over a return? Anybody got any guesses? thanks

Yes ran netsetup and user has full rights. As stated works fine for the other years not 08.

Loaded software on a computer that is the master for holding data and program. Also use this computer to prepare returns. Go to workstation computer that is networked to this computer, rollover return, enter some information and try to close return on workstation. Workstation promptly locks up the atx software and the computer to where I have to reboot the workstation and the master computer to do any returns in ATX period. On hold with ATX about 1HR and just finally gave up. Anybody experience this situation yet? I am currently using XP pro fully up to date on both computers including net framework 3.**. All other years work fine with this setup. Does anybody have a clue as to where to begin. I even uninstalled on both computers and tried reinstalling as I didn't have many returns on the master yet. Didn't help. Thanks to all who might have a clue.

What if the other parent got the credit for the missing child? What then?

I must be having a bad hair day. On the client cover sheet I want it to read "federal and State. How do I change it in the masters file? Help Many thanks

Anyone have a generic letter that I could look at to see how to write mine? Thanks You may email me the letter [email protected] or post here. Someone else may be looking for something. I am a sole preparer and need something simple. Thanks

I kinda figured this was to be what it implied. However I wonder if they will make (force) us to 2 withdraws in 2010. Who knows what will happen?

Does anyone know about the new rules for IRA distributions in 2009? thanks in advance. I read both versions and neither one seems to make sense. Does it mean I do not have to take required distribution from IRA or 401 for tax year 2009 only?

I am trying to figure out class life for a Drag Race Car? The motorhome to pull the trailer? and the trailer itself? Anyone in the field of preparing these returns(schC) for race car owners have any information would be greatly helpful. Thanks in advance. Taxman

TP schedule c makes improvements to driveway(ie blacktop). TP paying rent to landlord. Landlord would not pay or reinburse for this expense. TP moves business to another location. Old blacktop still has basis left. Write off on SCh C as depreciation or what? Many thanks.

Anyone taken the new EA test? Can you give some good study guide or reference. I do not want to take this more than once. Many thanks.

Basic question still remains. TP receiving RMD dies 07 before he gets RMD for 07, must there be a RMD for TP in 07?

Can someone with a site reference or info answer this question. TP age 73 already withdrawing from IRA(regular) under RMD rules dies before he can take out this years RMD. Must administrator withdraw RMD under TP's # and remainder can go to heirs? No spouse alive, just 3 kids to inherit all. My reading leads me to believe that even though TP is deceased there still must be a RMD for the year of death. Thanks to all who can shed light on this. :scratch_head:

Has anyone tried the new testing for EA exam. I need to retake part 3(missed by 1 point). Any good study aids or practical courses or suggestions? Glad to see some people still out here. May all of us have a great day. :rolleyes:

I too have enjoyed this board. Some real good information here. where to send compensation to Eric I cannot find. Can some post that info. Received my renewal notice this AM. The number of acks mississing is scary though. Ya.ll have a great day. Thanks

I have learned to ask for ACK'S first. If I get the red message I don't send returns. Seems to help but slows everything down.

Is a realtor who gives a gift of a Wal-Mart card to a client upon closing subject to the same rule as an employee with business expences? ie $25.00 cap? thanks. Brain Dead and I should know this answer. I may think that in these days anything to get a client to the closing table should be deductible.

6:25 PM EST not getting through. Any one else having same problem?

Single TP deceased. NO refund no balance due because of a large Sch A deduction. If IRS doesn't accept these as Efile then why do you think ATX let me Efile it? Or am I missing something? iRS reject codes 1034 and 1019. Now that IRS has Rejected return what do I do? All help appreciated. Thanks

Did I read one of IRS web sites they were NOT going to mail 1040 es vouchers for clients that we EF for? Anyone one else read this? thanks

Did I read that even a deceased person in 07 with/without a tax liability can get this money? Does same rule apply where one spouse died on 07, jt return being filed more than 1200 tax liability can get this money? What you'all think? Thanks

Hey maybe we should check out REV proc 2008-21 section 4 and 5. I just found this on IRS web site. Thanks

Have client with 42k net on sch c. wants to put in SOHO 401k. Question is where do I deduct it? Schedule c or 1040 page 1. Do I need to jack back up the SE if it goes on c? Brain dead already. thanks to all

In VA we send balance due vouchers to a different address than a refund would go. Anyone know how to modify the master letter so it knows if its a balance due use the other address and if refund use different address. If not can someone tell me how to change the master to use same address for all returns(VA's master address)? thanks to anyone who can help. :scratch_head:

Basically this is what happened. Using 10K value on 12-31-06 which included all int,div,cg's for 06 court said split this account in half which was done in 07. Problem is all income 06 was reported in TP's #. I can nominee the int and div's but not sure how to get the cg's off the return? thanks to allthat have read and responded.
