found the source, VA benefits are not included in MAGI according to the irs link

Do VA benefits add into household income to figure penalties and exemptions?

In ATX, The worksheet in the 8965 with the links to insurance information doesn't seem to figure the insurance credit. When I use the valuepen website, it figures the premium with the subsidy, which I've been using as the cost of insurance. the worksheet link just shows total premium, which most times is unaffordable for lower income tax payers. Am I doing it wrong? has anyone else filled in that worksheet?

Farmers return: I'm putting in raised cows sold, over 2 years old qualifies for LT, but error message keeps saying that "dates indicate short term holding period, Review force code" not a red error, but error message is wrong. I put in 4797 code, should I have let the software put in the code instead?

1263 A 3H SAYS "apply safe harbor for small taxpayers to NOT apply improvement rules to eligible bldg. materials" Is that the $500 safe harbor rule on repairs and supplies? Sorry I'm so dense - all this confusion, I just want to make sure I get the right election.

I KNOW, BUT IS IT IN THE ATX ELECTIONS? OR DO I NEED TO MAKE MY OWN

Things I've read sometimes refer to the $200 and $500 as the same reg 1.263a. It's been very confusing

Does ATX have this, I can only find 1.263a.

WHERE IS THE $500 ONE, I HAVE ONLY FOUND THE $200 ONE

thank you

I FOUND THOSE, BUT HOW DO I DISTINGUISH BETWEEN $200 SAFE HARBOR AND $500 SAFE HARBOR?

yes, the repair reg/cap election, sorry I wasn't specific enough.

where is the safe harbor election? is there one for $200 and one for $500? how is this done?

My client wanted to come clean, past years' partnerships, now we are dealing with IRS on the partnership penalties. We've asked for abatement, wrote an appeal. wondering if we did the right thing. she came to me to make it right, I didn't think I could tell her not to, but IRS sure does discourage people from doing the right thing.

now question 22 won't let me mark "does not apply" instead I have to mark "yes" to make it go? line 13 says only parents claiming and then those questions don't apply.

filling out the due diligence on the 8867, and the answers won't stay marked, so I continually get the error that I haven't answered. I go and mark again, recheck, and same error. Help

Today, put in the zeros and says not a valid ID number. anyone else having this problem? and how to fix?

thank you, I missed that

I have an employee number for that, I am having trouble with the submitter part of the preparer part when I'm sending in client's w-2's. This is in the payroll part of the atx program.

when I create the efile on the W-2, it won't creat without an ein. I don't have one, and have never had to use one. where is my mistake? Do I have something in the preferences wrong that makes that come up?

finally found it, thanks

Any New Mexico preparers using ATX?

NM won't let me efile without my email. I can't find where to enter. I've checked the preparer manager, but can't find a place. Anyone know where it goes ?

I am trying to efile a NM return, says it won't efile w/o my email and I can not seem to find the right place to put it in. Help?!

ok, thanks, I finally am being able to read that right. on an individual return, 179 can be netted against w-2 wages, but a partnership cannot give out a 179 deduction if the partnership has a loss on ordinary income. if equipment is new, the special allowance (50%) would be allowed?
