MY ANSWERS, CATHERINE WILL NO DOUBT ADD HER OWN.

John, it's clearly humorous, coming from Rangle.

Three guys were at deer camp. They had to bunk two to a room. No one wanted to room with Steve because he snored so badly. They decided it wasn’t fair to make one of them stay with him the whole time, so they voted to take turns. The first night, John slept in Steve’s room and came to breakfast the next morning with his hair a mess and his eyes all bloodshot. The rest of the guys said, “Man, what happened to you?” He said, “Steve snored so loudly, I just sat up and watched him all night.” The next night it was Garry’s turn. In the morning, same thing–hair all standing up, eyes all blood-shot. Once again they asked, “Man, what happened to you? You look awful!” He said, “Man, that Steve shakes the roof. I couldn’t sleep a wink. I just watched him all night.” The third night was Herb’s turn. Herb was a big burly guy who loved to fish and hunt — a man’s man. The next morning he came to breakfast bright eyed and bushy tailed. “Good morning,” he said. The guys couldn’t believe it! They said, “Man, what happened?” He said, “Well, we got ready for bed. I went and tucked Steve into bed and kissed him good night. He sat up and watched me all night long.”

You must be really young, to say that. I think it's time to close this thread.

The Cowboy And The IRS Genie A modern-day cowboy has spent many days crossing the desert without water. His horse has already died of thirst. He's crawling through the sand, certain that he has breathed his last, when all of a sudden, he sees an object sticking out of the sand several yards ahead of him. He crawls to the object, pulls it out of the sand, and discovers what looks to be an old briefcase. He opens it and out pops a genie. But this is no ordinary genie. She is wearing an Internal Revenue Service ID badge and a dull gray dress. There's a calculator in her pocketbook. She has a pencil tucked behind one ear. "Well, cowboy," says the genie. "You know how I work. You have three wishes." "I'm not falling for this." Says the man. "I'm not going to trust an IRS lawyer genie!" "What do you have to lose? You've got no transportation, and it looks like you're a goner anyway!" The man thinks about this for a minute, and decides that the genie is right. "OK, I wish I were in a lush oasis with plenty of food and drink." POOF: The cowboy finds himself in the most beautiful oasis he has ever seen. And he is surrounded with jugs of wine and platters of delicacies. "OK, cowpoke, what's your second wish?" "My second wish is that I were rich beyond my wildest dreams." POOF: The man finds himself surrounded by treasure chests filled with rare gold coins and precious gems. "OK, cowpuncher, you have just one more wish. Better make it a good one!" After thinking for a few minutes, the man says, "I wish that no matter where I go, beautiful women will want and need me." POOF: He is turned into a tampon. The moral of the story: If the government offers you anything, there's going to be a string attached.

Don't know whether to laugh or cry or curse over this one? TRIPLE DIPPER: William Mazzuca, 66, has been charged with felony fraud after records showed he collected more than $16,000 in unemployment benefits while he was being paid a salary as Supervisor of Philipstown, N.Y. That position only paid $25,000 a year, but he was also being paid $115,000 on a state pension. At one point he was also being paid $90,000 as a Homeland Security liaison to the Inspector General's Office of the state Power Authority, and also during his term as Supervisor he worked as a Westchester County deputy correction commissioner, which paid $120,000 a year. When asked to comment about his fraud arrest, Mazzuca replied, "I won't speak to that." (RC/White Plains Journal-News)

Yeah, I always thought one reason the old ATX was so good was that Steve and Glynn Willett were tax professionals who started the business in their living room. Remember William Tasker, ATX Customer Service Manager? He was so great, partly because he was one of the original 5 employees, and he really cared about having THE BEST Customer Service in the world. In the early days, ATX Customer Service HAD A FANTASTIC MIX OF COMPUTER GEEKS AND TAX PROFESSIONALS. What a shame CCH did not respect that.

When a Tennessee lawyer asked the IRS for tax-exempt status for a mentoring group that trained high school and college students about conservative political philosophy, the agency responded with a list of 95 questions in 31 parts, including an ultimatum for a list of everyone the group had trained, or planned to train. ‘Provide details regarding all training you have provided or will provide,’ the IRS demanded. ‘Indicate who has received or will receive the training and submit copies of the training material.’ That question was part of the tax collection agency’s February 14, 2012 letter to Kevin Kookogey. founder of the group Linchpins of Liberty. He had submitted his application 13 months earlier.

Good news. I'm sure your input will be valuable. And we will all be eager to get updates as it goes along.

She did get representation and she ended with a no-change audit. But I've NEVER heard of anyone being told that their spouse could not be present. She's a 68 yr old college professor, so I feel sure if she was allowed to have him there, she would have. And in her case, since he was the primary breadwinner, having him there might have sped up things, since he likely would have had answers to many of the deposit questions. He's in the insurance business, so I expect most of the deposits in question were his.

I was ASSUMING [my bad] that it was the bene that had used it as a principle res. You bring up a good point, Jainen That's why we all love you!

They probably think that keeps the IRS from knowing where the bank.. Silly, but that's what some people think. I've had some tell me that! I don't even waste time explaining the facts too them.

That's true, Joan. I admit to being really upset by what is going on in DC right now, and wanting to alert people to look deeper than the slanted, and very limited info coming from the MSM. Please note, though, that while I don't always agree with you, I don't attack you for your beliefs, because I respect that you are honest about how you see things. Giving you more info, in hopes of broadening your POV, is never intended as an attack. Not everyone on the other side, though, is as honest as you are Joan.

IRS Head resigns, IRS Stole 10 Million Medical Records, IRS Targeted Over 75 Conservative Groups, and now... IRS Ordered Conservative Student Groups to Hand Over "Lists" of Other Conservatives. The first rule of dams is that, when they break, they break big. That seems to be the case with the IRS scandal, which gets worse by the hour. The first big crack in the damn was the IRS’s admission (“coincidentally” made after the Inspector General completed a report) that it engaged in excessive scrutiny of conservative groups that were seeking tax-exempt status, not because their paperwork was wrong, but because they had such words as “Tea Party,” “Liberty” or “Constitution in their name. Lois Lerner, the head of the IRS Exempt Organizations Division, said that maybe 75 conservative organizations had been scrutinized. Currently, the correct number is closer to 500. Starting in 2011, no conservative group got automatic approval as a tax-exempt organization. Liberal groups, however, continued to be passed through the system. The reviews were intrusive, asking about donor lists, web pages, and officers’ reading material. They delved into Facebook accounts. The IRS even demanded that, to be tax exempt, groups had to promote material directly contrary to their core mission – such as demanding that a pro-Life group preach abortion. Crack two in the dam was when it turned out that the IRS was targeting conservatives with audits. The IRS has claimed that this is just coincidence because there are so many rich conservatives out there. (It would be useful to look at comparably-placed rich liberals, such as George Soros, and see their audit history.) Crack three in the dam is the leaks. The National Organization for Marriage (“NOM”) contends that the IRS leaked confidential financial documents to a rival Leftist organization. The Huffington Post then used that leaked document to question Mitt Romney’s support for traditional marriage. NOM plans to sue the IRS. It also appears that the IRS leaked Koch Industry documents to Austin Goolsbee, who directed Obama’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board. Crack four in the dam is interference with legitimate educational matters. Kevin Kookogey, a Tennessee lawyer sought tax-exempt status for mentoring a group that trained high school and college students in political philosophy. The agency responded by deluging the attorney with 95 questions (actually 31 questions divided into subparts), and demanded that he produce a list identifying every student who had been or would be trained: And now comes crack five, which just might be the one to bring the entire dam down. It turns out that the IRS is facing a class action lawsuit charging it with improperly accessing – and then stealing — more than 60 million personal medical records. As you read those words, remember that the IRS will be the agency tasked with enforcing ObamaCare – it gets to penalize those whom it thinks are failing to comply properly. Courthousenews.com reports that an unnamed healthcare provider is bringing the suit against the IRS and against 15 unnamed agents. Included amongst those Americans whose medical records were illegally accessed were all California state judges. There’s a rather charming irony to that last one, since California has an overwhelmingly Leftist judiciary. Nor were the stolen records bland lists of appointments. Instead, they contained information about psychological counseling, gynecological counseling, sexual and drug treatment, and all sorts of other stuff people like to keep private. All of the above speaks to an appalling level of corruption and political bias at the IRS. None of those stories, however, answers why the IRS would do these things. After all, the employees are usually career people who serve from one administration through to another. Just a guess that might explain the willingness with which IRS employees embraced this anti-conservative corruption: the National Treasury Employees Union (“NTEU”), which represents Treasury Department employees, including those who work at the IRS. During the 2012 campaign, it donated $580,412 to federal candidates. The party breakdown was as follows: 94% of donations went to Democrats; and 4% of donations went to Republicans. In 2010, when Tea Party furor was at its height, and Americans were demanding lower taxes, the breakdown was even more uneven. The union donated a total of $541,700, with 98% of those donations going to Democrats and 2% to Republicans. The NTEU is a government union, but it hews to the Left of Left. And as a union, it has the absolute right to inundate its members with a constant stream of “educational” materials. These materials rather consistently denigrate Republican policies, while elevating Democrat policies. It’s inevitable that people begin to to reflect the intellectual environment in which they’re immersed. While the IRS might technically be a non-partisan branch of the government, the reality is that it’s a Democrat union shop. The Union was ecstatic about ObamaCare, which would pump over a billion dollars into the IRS. Back in February 2012, Colleen Kelley, president of the NTEU was thrilled that the Obama government was increasing IRS funding so as to “permit the agency to improve services through increasing response rates to inquiries, deploying enforcement resources to what the White House called high-return integrity activities and by modernizing information technology systems.” More money and new employees (all of whom will pay union dues) will be forthcoming as ObamaCare really ramps up. As the famous saying goes – Follow the money. And in this case, the IRS’s partisan attacks against conservatives lead right back to Obama initiatives that flood the IRS with more money and more agents. That kind of financial corruption is enough to turn the head of even the most bland careerists, whose primary goal is to make sure that they have a job.

That is the point, FTM. It's been over eight months, and she still will not tell us anything about what she did. What calls she made? What orders she gave when she got that call? Don't you think the public has a right to know that? Her only answer was "What difference does it make?" While it won't make a difference to the outcome of that attack, it sure does make a difference to whether anyone should trust her to be President.

Good to know. Used to have the same 5/15 date in AR, until a few years ago.

Normally, the 6 yr rule comes into play when some outside event, such as an audit of someone else, uncovers information indicating the > 25% omission, or other fraudulent act, occurred.

Sometimes that's the simplest choice, although the comfort of getting the ACK is always tempting.

It's not about hating Obama, it's about hating what he is doing to this country! A BASIC PREMISE OF THE FOUNDING OF THE USA WAS THE IDEA THAT EVERYONE SHOULD BE TREATED EQUALLY BY THE GOVERNMENT. Today we are seeing that violated right and left. Latest item exposed, the EPA. Can ant honest, unbiased person justify this? http://local.msn.com/wind-farms-get-pass-on-eagle-deaths [Note this is NOT a conservative website.] Most important article take-away: " It's also a federal crime, a charge that the Obama administration has used to prosecute oil companies when birds drown in their waste pits, and power companies when birds are electrocuted by their power lines. But the administration has never fined or prosecuted a wind-energy company, even those that flout the law repeatedly. Instead, the government is shielding the industry from liability and helping keep the scope of the deaths secret."

Seems it should work as you thought, but since it does not, try my alternative and see if that works. Let us know if it does. I think the program just can't deal with the combination. Since there is no exclusion on business property.

When Internal Revenue Service agents decided to target conservative groups with “unnecessary” information requests, they probably weren’t expecting Marion Bower, an Ohio woman who in 2010 founded her own Tea Party group. “I was trying to be very cordial, but they wanted copies of unbelievable things,” the 68-year-old founder of American Patriots against Government Excess told ABC News Tuesday. “They wanted to know what materials we had discussed at any of our book studies.” Yes, when applying for the group’s tax-exempt status, the IRS actually asked her for information regarding the books she and her colleagues read. “They wanted a synopsis of all the books we read,” she said. “I thought, I don’t have time to write a book report. You can read them for yourselves.” So she sent the IRS official handling her tax-exempt request in Cincinnati a copy of “The Five Thousand Year Leap” and a paperback version of the United States Constitution. “Bower, 68, said she did not want to cause trouble or be argumentative with the IRS, so she patiently responded to their questions about her group,” ABC News notes. “Her group’s request was granted in March 2012, about two years after they originally applied,” the report continues. The Ohio woman said the IRS’ demands, which included requests for agenda and minutes of their regular meetings, were absurd. “I felt like, ‘My goodness, what in the world is going on here?’” Bower said. “Is this ever going to end?” We know why the IRS was stonewalling Bowers. Agency employees agents were instructed to flag applications that included the words “patriot” and “tea party,” senior IRS officials revealed last week. Conservative groups critical of government and groups designed to educate Americans on the Constitution were also flagged for further review. “They wanted copies of our blog. They said they had already taken copies of our website. They wanted a list of all of our officers, what we do at our meeting, how our board is made up,” Bower said. “The IRS says that it is part of its normal oversight responsibility to request additional information to ‘develop’ applications that need heightened scrutiny because tax-exempt groups might only engage in certain amounts and certain kinds of political activity,” ABC News explains. “But Bower said her group consisted of volunteers who routinely passed out copies of the constitution at parades, and had informational meetings on anything from the health care law to disaster preparedness,” the report notes. “We thought it would be a very simple process,” Bower said. “It wasn’t a simple process.” Exit Question: Does this mean there’s a copy of the U.S. Constitution floating around somewhere in the IRS’ Cincinnati offices? If so, is anyone reading it?

So I'd use the instruction for mailing it with an extension. I know, not logical, exactly, but where would there be a problem? The extension form will be ignored, as the return will already be in the system, however the form will make it clear how to apply the check. PS Love your avatar !

Essentially what you have is two transactions. 1 Sale of rental property. 2 Sale of principle residence. It's not going to work if you try to combine them.

It IS a new business, since the Sub S is a separate entity from the owner(s). The new business will be reported on a Sch C.
