How do you tell if the partnership is a passive activity?  is it marked somewhere, or just have to ask the partner?  I have ordinary business loss on line 1 of partnership return.  Don't know if it is all deductible or to the extent of other investment income

Return has a refund.  Does the check come in the deceased name, or the name that is on the 1310 as representative.  There is no estate or trust.  Everything passed thru.

FOUND IT

IN ATX, HOW DO I CODE THE QCD IN THE PROGRAM.  I COULDN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE FOR BOX 7 - DIST CODE

AND IT CAN'T BE USED AS A CHARITABLE DEDUCTION ON SCH A, CORRECT?

that's what I thought, but when I told my client we couldn't amend, he went to a high priced CPA firm and they amended it, so now he is paying on  1/3 of it this year and next.  Do I go ahead and do it, or send him back to the cpa firm?

Client drew out  $80,000 , penalty free from his 401 k.  He wanted to pay all the taxes in one year.  Now he decides he wants to amend and divide it up into 3 years.  Does that work?

lots of children here do a little farm work, or any type of labor, and they receive a 1099, sometimes less than $1000.  I've always done a sch C and charged them for SE tax.  Is everyone else doing it the same.  Does IRS ever catch up on the minimal 1099 amounts? 

it is showing as a bulk sale, but there are no bulk sales and I can't get it deleted.  None of the assets are marked as disposed of on the depreciation sheet. It only showes the description the amount and no cost or anything.  All profit

I deleted more than once and the sale keeps reappearing.  I must have hit something wrong.  I tried to do a bulk disposition and the program puts those numbers into the 4797 wrong line, instead of where it's suppose to be.  It's crazy 

I've got a sale of an asset stuck in part II.  seems like it came from the asset manager, but there is no sale, bulk sale, or any assets marked as sold.  The only thing is a sales amount.  How do I remove? 

Does an income tax return need to be filed to report the 1095a amounts?  No income, how did he get coverage?  

Not sure how to work this? 

that sounds better

GUESS I'M NOT BY MYSELF

I NEED ANOTHER MONTH OR TWO

This is happening more and more, not just occasionally, which I could handle.  Is there a fix if I call ATX?

i purchased a brother 5850    wish me luck 

THANKS.  What are the numbers of the Hp and Brother so I can see what you are using.

Was using a Kyocera 2540.  now it's crunching paper, shading terrible and just causing too much trouble for this time of the years.  It is a 42page output.  off brand toner was reasonable.  3 years old  Is it worth calling a repairman?  probably not

Any suggestions on good machines?  

Client has lost her PIN notification from IRS.  What do we do now?

Is there any way to check or call or mail to find out about a clients' refund.  It was efiled on Feb 25, 2021, for direct deposit.  

ha

Husband and wife not wanting either to get the paper check refund.  Both have new addresses.  Can I deposit half in his checking account and half in hers?  a compromise to keep one from holding on to the check while the other needs her/his part. 

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT BOX TO CHECK.  ?  I HAVE BEEN STUDYING, BUT STILL CONFUSED. 

I HAVE CLIENTS THAT APPLIED, RECEIVED MONEY,  AND HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN.  

Great , thank you.  I found it  .  WHat about the ones I missed?  Amended returns?

I believe I might have a few clients already filed that may have had PPP.  Some did it on their own and knew it wasnt taxable, but didn't realize it was reportable.  What do I do about them.   Surely not an amended return?
