Back to the section 179 - my partnership shows an ordinary loss. I can't get the 179 deduction to flow to the K-1. Both partners have other earned income to put against the partnership 179. how do I get it on the k-1 so IRS knows it flowed from there, and where do I put on the individual return?

when the info wasn't in the detail, or input tab, I get the same message. can I override on the front page?

sometimes I just want to put interest received by taxpayer, but don't have the ss# and address. this happens mostly when an the taxpayer has made a personal loan to an individual. atx won't let me efile without all that info. I thought we used to be able to do that. is it necessary to have all the info (especially if under $1500) and is there a way to put it in without?

I have installed the program, rolled over a return, the 4562 is listed, but no assets or depreciation is showing up on the detail sheets. Is something wrong, or is it waiting for an update?

I think AMT has been fixed for future years, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm doing some 2014 planning, and the planner in 2012 software is still showing an astronomical amount for AMT for that year (2014). I just updated and it stayed the same. Planner right or wrong? Should I use the calculations for 2013 to get an idea?

This morning, Mon 4/22, still have some return not ack. Should I be looking into something.

with totals. Only ones I could find were each ptp, not a list. Am I looking for somehting that isn't there. It was last year 2011

I put in zero, changed 100% to 0% and nothing happened. there has to be a way. sure worked better last year, can't even figure out how to work it this year. Surely someone has done this on ATX this year?

If you have very many it could really count up the pages. I have 13. 2012 improvement?

Client has several limited ptnshps - carring forward unallowed losses. 2011 had a PTP detailed schedule. Can't find in 2012. I can find each one individually, but but not a summary. Anyone know where it is? Or if there is one?

Yes, I tried the disposal tab, put in change to personal, but asks for sales amount, and no figures were forthcoming as to how much had to be recaptured and where it was going.

I can't figure out how to do in software. Asset was discontinued use in the business and it had been sect 179, so I need to recapture. In last year's software, it worked well, changed business percentage and it flowed. Now in fixed assets I can't seem to change for 100 % to 0%. It keeps flipping back to 100 %. How do I get it to work?

How do you handle the amounts due on clients you can't get finished? I'm way behind and keep hoping everyone is finished by April 15, but those late comers who are always late think I'm saving them a place and will get thier return finished anyway. Lots of late hours

Client has this on the 1099. I've put in to the form, but at the bottom where i can specify how much is exempt to my state, it will only let me use the total amount minus the spec act bond interest amount. So client is not getting the full interest exemption for his state. Is this correct? I know the spec act bond amount is AMT pref, but does that mean I can't have it state exempt? Am I working the form wrong, or is the software wrong, just not sure?

So slow again this morning, takes 15-18 seconds to go from line to line on a form. I'm constantly looking at that twirling circle. Any suggestions for speed, or am I just stuck this year. I go back to look at 2011s and 2010s, and it's amazing how much faster those returns open, close, go from form to form. Oh well, back to work

I'm waiting all the time just to go to a different form in the same return. Everytime I do something I get the little swirling circle and sit and wait some more. Any help for that?

I've tried. I made a new file marked correct, but when I try to create the efile I get the message: One or more correction boxes have been selected, but return doesn't appear to be in an "accepted" efile status, Corrections should only be made to the accepted Original return not duplicated returns. Should I go into t he original file and make another 1099 with the correct figures and then try to efile. Can I efile a corrected 1099? Maybe that's the problem?

I need to correct a 1099 Misc.- the amount was wrong. Can I do thru the program, can I efile the corrected? I tried to duplicate the original and mark corrected, but I get an error saying i can't do it that way. Do I go into the original and change, I've already efiled the original. Can anyone guide me thru, or will it have to be a paper correction?

It's been a whole week, I've called tech twice and they keep telling me they are working on it. Any returns with the fixed assets (assoc with 4562) can only be opened on the computer that rolled it over. 12.10 was supposed to fix, now 12.11. Delays are costing time and money. What next?

workstation cannot access any files that have the fixed assets manager in it. I have lots of those and tech says we have to wait for a new update. Before 12.10, a tech told me 12.10 was going to fix. What next?

What can I do? My assistant can't work on her laptop. Do I have to call tech? ATX tech helped us set up her station.

Just to clarify, the crash comes when I try to open the rollovered return (not during rollover)

I went to 2011 and did a duplicate and deleted all forms that weren't needed. Rolled that return over, but when I tried to open it the same thing happened. It says loading..... and then the window comes up that says the software is closing. I have rolled over other returns today with success, just not this one. Version 12.9 is what I'm on.

Rollover return, click to open, loads..loads..loads..loads..then software closes. I deleted the rollovered return, re rollover, same thing. Restarted my program, no luck. Any suggestions? Saturday afternoon, things always seem to happen on the weekend. Best time to work, worst time for software problems.

Also, when i change assets to unclassified, the deprec amount is still flowing to a sch C, that has nothing to do with the assets.
