My ATX errors show that I do not have to file Form 8962 because there was no advance payment of PTC. His Marketplace Statement just shows amounts in column A Monthly enrollment and 0s in the rest of the columns (he makes very good money) which I have entered. It makes me nervous to not include the form but he was insured all 12 months. Discard Form or advice on the zeros in the other columns so my errors go away. I sure do NOT like Marketplace statements!

It is going to be a much better fit for me than the old tax program. I'm VERY pleased I switched. I have been very disappointed in the ATX customer service but this group has made all the difference for me.

Well I was new to ATX this year and this Group was a Godsend for me!!! I paid for the conversion from old tax software to ATX and NOTHING converted correctly so I spent a lot of time fixing depreciation, NOLs, etc. before I could even do tax returns. I have only been doing taxes for a few years so it was painfully slow for me; especially with new tax law to learn and new clients coming to me for the first time. I had a lot of clients that owed or saw very poor refunds, as well as multiple client deaths and other sad situations. I never realized the emotional side of tax season especially when your exhausted. I'm going to have to learn how to balance my schedule better because I'm wiped out and still have clients pressing me for there Returns that I had to put on extension. I will also have to convert to a new computer this year as I am in Windows 7......not looking forward to that either! I have a seasonal receptionist who only answers phones and does my scheduling and I do all the rest, including quite a bit of bookkeeping and payroll. It was my most stressful tax year yet and the last three were filled with a lot of stress already. I'm hoping next year will be much better! I am so very thankful for everyone's help and advice thru this tax season!!! Waiting for an hour+ on the phone for ATX is terrible so I'm so happy I was told about this group so early in the season. Thank you!

So if tax payer doesn't want to have to deal with depreciation and recapture upon sell of home, best to stick to simplified?

If taxpayer owns home and has home office for a schedule C, is it mandatory to depreciate the office space if taking actual expenses?

Form 8962 Pt I - HI below poverty level tab ,checked the box and now he's getting back $1466 that seems accurate right?

Am I understanding this correctly? Client does not need to file a return except he has Marketplace Statement so back of 1095-A states that he has to file regardless. He has social security (which isn't taxed because he only has another $1277 in income) Marketplace still considers his SS so now he owes $300 in advance payment repayment. Is there any other way around this?

No I entered individually

I have a total capital gain of $7834.36 which shows on line 13 column A on my California CA Sch CA 540NR. I need $7755.6 to be in column B as a subtraction because that was Oregon gain and the remaining $79.00 to be in Column E the California gain. The problem is that I have $ amounts showing up in Column C & D that shouldn't be there. All my data was entered with the appropriate states where the gain occurred. My link arrows are not taking me anywhere that I can adjust these numbers like I was able to for the other lines. This is a tax return with 7 Sch E's, 2 Sch C's, Installment sale, Oregon resident with California non resident return and multiple other income sources and has a lot going on and I have spent a very long time on it, I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but my tired brain isn't seeing it. Oh yah, and my land that is attached to the installment sale won't show up on my 4797 Part 1 even though the rest of the buildings and improvements are showing up in part 3. I have it as Section 1250 property the same as the buildings, long term holding period and form 4797 part 1 and showing as installment loan but NOT grouped with the other property; per previous advice. Uhgggggg!!

So in my bulk sell I can put them all together? I was told earlier that in ATX I had to separate them

Just clarifying for this very tired brain......Commercial rental property (buildings) is 1245 property and the land is 1250? Or am I backwards?

It is her income the Merchant company put in the wrong name. I'll have to call client and ask them to have that corrected.

AHHH Bingo!!! Sch C is in her name but the 1099 K came in his. I put it in hers and it magically appeared! Thanks!

I'm working on a Return with 7 Sch E's and 2 Sch C's, I need to attach my 1099-K to one of the Sch C's and the drop down box in the 1099-K box 1a - select form to link to box 1a will not give me the option of the Sch C.....grrrr....even though I entered the 1099K from the Sch C I want it to flow to. I have closed out ATX, Saved.... to refresh it and it won't work. WHAT THE HECK!!!???

That was what I thought as well. I'm new to ATX and this group has been a lifesaver for me! Thank you!

Entering form 6252 for an Installment Sale of a Sch C business. In my old tax program I could put the interest and principal money received right on that form, but I don't see an option for that in ATX. Where am I entering the interest received?

Thank you

Rental Property sold with separate depreciation items of House, Land, Roof, Heatpump..... is there a way for me to attach all these together so when I enter all the selling data in the dispositions tab under the house it will show all the other items as sold as well? I'm not able to put a checkmark in the 'Multiple Asset Account', do you have to do something to enable that or pay extra for it?

I work on the C Drive and ATX also backs up to the C Drive. I do a backup of the whole program nightly to an external hard drive. I have closed the program up several times to no avail. Strangely enough I was able to do some work in 2017 with no problem HMMMM can you post what customer service says after you get thru please?

I was right in the middle of a tax return and ATX shut down. Now every time I open it I get this message ' An error was encountered while communicating with the ATX Server. Would you like to retry'. Which it won't let me do. HMMMM what's going on? I don't have time for this darn it! Is this just a glitch on their part after their update, is anyone else having this problem? Is ATX an internet program, I thought it was a download to our computer program?

I did file the extension and it was accepted. Just found where to add the PDF to tax return. Thanks

How do I clear out the OR1120/s EFInfo Error 'Print copy of Federal Extension Form 7004 as PDF and attach to return'? I have finished the return and want to get it efiled and it would let me.

Yes. Thank you!

Where am I adding my information for the 1095-A Health Insurance Marketplace Statement? Line 61 on Schedule 4 doesn't seem to be taking me to where I need to go. All I seem to find is Form 8965 for exemptions, but I don't need to enter that.

BINGO!!!! Thanks!!!! I really appreciate you walking me thru that! I left Drake Tax Software and am so glad I am using ATX now, but it is such a different tax software. Data entry is apples and oranges!
