Flip a coin is safest, if you let her do the flipping and let her call it, and don't ask to see ! Assuming you like sharing a bed with her, of course. ;~)

Absolutely correct, thanks Judy.

Exactly my reasoning, too. Just added my note for any other 'browser' looking for free advice.

USEFUL CHARTS OF THE 2015 CHANGES TO EXPLAIN TO THOSE CLIENTS WHO ASK. We all have a few of those, don't we? Link is to a Forbes article.

While we do not normally allow non-professionals on this board, I'm glad we could help you this time.

Not doing something ILLEGAL, Jack, and he did not say they were, just taking an easy way [shipping the CD whether we want it or not] to save themselves the trouble of recording taxable or non-taxable. Easytax is right, "they do not offer anyway other than receiving the CD to buy the program", simply because that's easy for them.

Jack, dear friend, this time you are 100% wrong. They collect it from ALL, but only because that's the easy way FOR THEM.. They are benefiting because shipping the CD costs a lot less than the sales tax on the whole package, but saves them a very small amount of 'bookkeeping' to track which packages to charge it on. Plus, when they know that they don't have to charge it on downloadable product, the right thing to do, both legally and morally, is to not charge it when it is not required. It adds up. A few years back, my son's IT firm had a CA sales tax audit. At the time, the bookkeeper did not realize that the tax was not required on downloadable product, but when I came out for the audit, I brought the issue up, the auditor agreed with me, we went through the invoices, and we ended up getting back several THOUSAND in overpaid sales tax, which we refunded to the customers. Reprogramming the invoicing system to reflect the correct taxablity took me about 20 minutes. Problem eliminated. CCH certainly has the same ability. And the snarky last paragraph is beneath you. I hope you will reconsider that this is hardly a way to make a newbie feel welcome. Or even an old-timer like me. His message made it clear that it was not so much about the money as it was about the rip-off. And it is a rip-off when they charge you for something you don't need, just so they can charge you sales tax on the whole package.

Maybe they did not know that you prefer email? Or, more likely, they thought that you needed their actual, physical signatures. After all, many 'official' documents still have that requirement.

Sorry to hear that, I know exactly how it feels to hear the C word, and don't wish it on anyone. But I'll keep you in mt prayers, and hope all the news stays good going forward. And I think you made the right business decision too. Time to focus on what really matters, and step away from the stress of tax season. But don't drop us, you are still welcome here!

It started when the SFR was created, so you are probably still within the time frame, but I agree that an Installment Plan is the best bet. An OIC is not likely to work in this situation.

Not an expert on them, but I agree that the expenses should be a line item, I'm guessing they are in Professional Fees, or lumped into some administrative overhead accounts. And I would post the 50K to the cash surrender value of the plan asset account.

That's true in places where rain is normal, like MD, but out here where it almost NEVER rains, it soon goes from 'dormant' to DEAD IF YOU DON'T WATER IT AT LEAST OCCASIONALLY.

And also, you need to determine if the 1099 is for the settlement amount before the deduction of the fee, or if it is the net amount of the claim after the fees were deducted. If net, no deduction, of course.

Highs here in the 80s all week, lows from 60 to mid 50s. I've forgotten what 'rain' is.
