I sent in the paper form and a check on Oct 7th...check has not cleared and no word from IRS>

A belated, after vacation,

Thanks for the wishes. I had a wonderful b-day and am glad I am still having these.

The local IRS office would help you resolve this.

FROM THE ATX WEB SITE: FYI

Normal 1040 drain cycle: 11 AM, 6 PM and 2 AM (Local Service Center Time).

NOTE: Because our EFC is completely automated, there is no way to stop an individual e-file once you send it to us.

Updated 4-15-10 at 12:45pm--Because of a problem with our Oracle database, we curtailed transmitting electronic returns to the IRS and state agencies at about 8 pm last night. That action also prevented us from sending you acknowledgements of previously accepted returns. We did receive and hold returns sent to the EFC during this time.

We have resolved the database issue and are beginning to process all return files that have been sent to the EFC. We will begin transmitting returns to the IRS, states and banks within the next two to three hours. All returns that our customers submitted through our software will be transmitted today.

The IRS is aware of this situation and has assured us that all returns our EFC receives by midnight on April 15 will be considered timely filed by the IRS. It is not necessary for you to retransmit returns previously sent.

We will begin sending acknowledgements to you again as soon as we have caught up with the returns that are awaiting transmission. Please note that your recently sent returns will not appear in Return Query until we have caught up with processing.

We apologize for any inconvenience this situation has caused.

None here.

I am loving today....already....

I am in Texas and have two clients in NY. I registered, but didn't have to pay the $100 because I prepare under 10 NY tax returns. New Mexico doesn't require registration until you prepare 25 NM tax returns.

Thanks for the information about CA.

How about Line 21 of 1040, Other income.

I, too, had the same problem...put in my PIN and resubmitted.

Client comes in with the documents concerning his new plug-in electric drive motor vehicle. He is looking for a credit of $6497 which the US Treasury letter says is the credit amount for the vehicle he purchased. His cost is $7292. I am looking at Master Tax Guide para 1350 which states the amount of credit is $2500. Using form 8834, it computes 10% of cost, or $729 as the credit. In para 1353 of MTG, says to use 8834 for a credit which has expired. So maybe I shouldn't be using this form.

Am I using the right form? I don't see that form 3800, General Business Credit is the right form even though the instructions for form 8834 says to use form 3800. Am I not connecting with something?

I found it....Another form has been drafted for this purpose. Form 8936.

I thought I would leave the above for others who may be stuggling with this issue.

Have a great day... :rolleyes:

I do a lot of retiree tax returns here in Florida. Most do not itemize and take the standard deduction. Is there any way to automatically add the new schedule L to each tax return when it is opened like the W-2?

I would like the Sch M to be added automatically or at least the option of doing so.

Also consider the title company...they need everything signed.

I have efiled and waiting for acks and get the message that I cannot connect with server. I think the problem is on their end. I'll just try later.

Go to the W-2 form, right-click on it, and it should show you a menu that has the version you have at the bottom of the menu. Should be version = 44

Got it,,,thanks.

For some reason I thought E-file was not available until 15 January ------oh, that is today, isn't it? Boy, it is too early in the season to be at this point already. Jeez, guess I will have to take the weekend off. Hmmmm, I wonder how that will work out.

I set up a 1040 to efile and the w-2 was not approved as yet. I checked and I am not showing an update to the w-2.

Several years ago, an IRS came to the client's house unannounced. The client was gone, but the agent lefted a note to call the next day at 1:20pm...Client called me...My guess was since he had a office in home, maybe they were verifying that. He called and found out the question dealt with payroll reports...seem odd...but thinking about it...the big mall is near his house and the IRS office was located downtown...I really think the agent was looking for an excuse to do some shopping...question was solved rather quickly.

I installed using all the codes provided. The program got stalled at about 83%. I opened the program and did an update and have played awhile with it and everything seems to be working.

I got my on Friday....pretty fast...loaded on Windows XP

I had often wondered about that and didn't want to mess with it until now....my curiousity is now satisfied....those little things again.

What a surprise to find this birthday wish on this website!!! Thanks and I had a great Birthday. I don't post much but gain a lot of information from this forum.

Review the partnership agreement. These items should be covered there.

Yes, updated with new Schedule A and had same problem...

Thanks to one and all.....

Are Roth IRA Losses considered a capital loss and reported on a Sch D or 8606? I have been looking everywhere for this answer. No converson or recharacterization involved.

see Amazon.com. 320G western digital for under $100.

>>Do I need to get register with Ca?<<

I don't know. There is no way to enforce it except to refuse the returns. A couple of years ago there was a big fuss when they tried to say out of state preparers were conducting business within California. Accountants fought it and the state backed down, at least regarding CPA's properly licensed in their own state and doing only a few California returns.

Who is required to comply with the Tax Preparers Act?

Any person who for a fee, assists with or prepares a State or Federal tax return, or assumes responsibility for such a return, or who offers these services.

From the CTEC web site,,,,it seems to me that if I prepare a CA return then I must be registered. How when they start getting a lot of CA returns prepared by out of state preparers,,,they might change their minds...as before.
