  1. 1120S Corporate return for 2021 showed a loss $20k. They didn't have the basis to take the full loss in 2021 so $15k was CF to 2022. In 2022, they show a profit of $20k so the CF loss is fully used in 2022. Then they file and receive the ERC for 2021 and receive $12k. ugh. Amending the 2021 1120S to include the ERC, doesn't change the SH personal return at all because the basis still limits the recognizable loss to $5k. However, it does change their 2022 personal return because there was less CF loss to absorb the 20k profit. I assume I have to amend the 2021 1120S to reflect the ERC. amend their 2022 personal return to reflect the CF loss adjustment. Is there any need to amend the 2021 personal return to reflect the change in the 7203 CF info?
  2. You can do a summary of the like-kind exchange and have the details listed in the BLANK Statements. That's the the CCH/ATX website says to do. Here's a link to the website instructions. I've screenshot them for you too. https://support.cch.com/kb/solution/000162166/how-do-i-complete-a-1031-like-kind-exchange-for-multiple-assets-in-atx
  3. The first statement was referencing debt from shareholder that had supposedly grown through 2021, but no formal loan docs had ever been made. Owner didn't know it was necessary. So, as of Jan 1 2022, all previous loans from shareholders to the company would be reclassified as APIC. For 2022 books, the second statement referenced the possibility of open account debt as of Dec 31, 2022, that stays within the $25k limit. 2023 is looking rather profitable thus far so, he could pay off that debt by year end, not have the formal loan docs requirement and the reimbursements to him wouldn't be considered return of capital. Just throwing the idea out there for opinions.
  4. Thank you everyone for the advice and professional experience. I really appreciate it. Curious thought. The amount listed as loans from shareholders is way over the $25k open account limit. Is there any value in reclassifying all of the loan to shareholder to APIC except for $25k? It will be paid off by end of this year.
  5. I've made it clear what I expect of them moving forward. They are more than willing to obliged it seems, they have just never had an accountant educate them on what is truly needed to have proper records. They want to do it right so I'm doing my best to get them on the right course.
  6. Same accountant for the last 20 years who didn't seem to mind all the comingling that was going on. No more comingling going forward. The 7203 on last year's personal return shows shows zero beginning balance, a $50k contribution (client's know nothing about this so I think this was just plugged in there), and a small positive ending value so the IRS has an ending basis in their records already if they are actually tracking the 7203. Nothing listed in the Debt Basis even if the loan from shareholders was accurate. Not sure how to correct this either. But based on the K-1s I have and all the comingling, they have been personally funding the losses for decades. I confirmed, title of the car, insurance and license are definitely in the owner's name, not the business. I do think your suggestion is exactly what happened. Along with ALL the other expenses the owner paid for the business with personal funds. No trial balance was ever done that I can find. Client provided a P&L only, that's what accountant used to prep the returns all 20 years. I have all 20 years of tax returns. The M-2s match the balance sheet R/E for each year. The previous accountant is deceased. To move forward: can/should I recategorize the loans to capital? how can I properly remove the vehicle from the books? It's not even 100% used for business, though they only took the generic 50% usage and depreciation deduction in the years since purchase.
  7. New client, 20 years in business as an S-corp. 2021 ending M-2 shows a large loss. The one and only balance sheet I could find was the 2020 1120S which had a very large balance in "Loans from Shareholders." Client knows nothing about any loans outstanding, so no loan documents. They actually had all past K-1s. K-1s only list the income/losses each year. No distributions were reported. Losses were all taken on the personal return each year. No basis history was provided so I have to rebuild it as best I can. For me to get 2022 on the right path, would you simply reclassify the loan from shareholder to capital? Also, there's a truck on the books that the company doesn't own, yet was depreciated the last two years. Do I get it off the books as if it was converted to personal use in 2022? It was definitely used for the business, but no mileage logs were kept.

    ATX Renewal

    For those that do renew this early, have you found the discount is worth it?
  9. Ok. Just confirming it's nonsense. Thanks!
  10. Just curious, why does ATX make you answer the digital currency question to file the extension? I don't understand why that is a required answer before ATX will create the extension e-file. Any idea?
  11. The prior CPA filed both the mom and the kid's return last year. I took the numbers I quoted above from the tax return he filed for mom. Just trying to see if I'm missing something, or if it's an error on his part. I have to complete an 8615 for the kid this year and the previous CPAs 8615 has me second-guessing myself. So here I am, asking the pros.
  12. I'm trying to figure out what the previous CPA did. 17 year old son has unearned income, no wages and is claimed by mom. Her taxable income last year was $80k. Tax she owed was $5500. Here's what the previous CPA's 8615 looks like. Shouldn't the highlighted areas have the above amounts listed?
  13. Does ATX have the superseded checkbox option? And when you efile this return, does the 1040X still get filed? Or should we delete it before e-filing?
  14. Family owns a rental property (2 brothers and sister) and transferred their rental property into an LLC, taxed as a partnership, mid year. A few questions: Does the LLC basically steps into the shoes the partners wore prior and continue on the same depreciation schedule? If so, I'm struggling to make this work in ATX without overriding because the LLC transfer occurred mid-year. The 1065 return wants to give them full year depreciation, but it should only show 1/2 year. I'm tempted to just let it ride and take zero depreciation on the Sch E for the 1st 6 months before it became an LLC, assuming my assumption on procedure is right. Are their any tax implications on the personal return? They didn't sell the property. It's all the same owners. So I don't see why there would be but I just want to confirm. Should I note the transfer somewhere on the return and/or in ATX so the IRS doesn't just see this large asset vanish without explanation? When I build the balance sheet of the 1065, do I list the property and improvements at their original cost and accumulated depreciation taken thus far? If yes, then I assume the capital accounts of the partners are the depreciated basis of the property right? TIAFYH!
