Have you done a support worksheet on each of them? Remember, you need to also consider other sources of 'support', such as Hud subsidy, food stamps, SSI, etc, when looking at whether he provided over half the support.

Yeah, that is the sort of personal responses that made us love ATX, back when it was still a family operation. I wish I could like the way the program works more.

Most likely reason is that you accidentally typed a 'space' before the first number. Your eyes don't 'see' that tiny space, but the computer does. Or you could even have a space after the number. Try deleting the number, 'restore' the space, then retype the number. It often works.

What is really stupid about that is that if they had had any business sense at all, they would have kept the Caribou team at least until Feb, to handle the Jan rush of support calls. I doubt if they saved a penny, but they sure destroyed a lot of customer loyalty. Had they waited just a month or so, until the early problems were solved, most of the users would not have even known about it when they later laid off the folks in Maine.

There is no limit, you start with the default 20 on the Detail tab at the bottom, then you can add as many more as you need by pressing CTRL Q and telling it how many you need. By the way, if you need a lot, you might want to add them 10 at a time, just to make the form easier to look at. At least that is how I did it.

The time I had to use it, I went back to the code on the shipping invoice that came with the first disk, and it worked, even tho I had gotten a later code. Try it, it may work. The main thing that makes no sense is that they tell you to use 'admin' when in fact, you must use 'ADMIN'. You would think that they could at least get that right.

I have a suggestion for next year. Say you charged $200 last year. This year, you charge him $200 for the personal return, and $200 for the business, C, F or E. You put $200 in the bill, print it twice, let him pay you two checks, one personal, one business. Next year, the $200 goes to the A, and you then add the second $200 to the C, F or E. Neat solution, right?

You can go to MyATX, Download Center, look at the list on the left, click on ATX Forms Schedule. There you will find the latest info on any form.

Sorry, it's $1.75 or nothing!

That is scary, that they don't even mention 'familiar with the CCH software products' as one of the requirements, not even mentioned as 'a plus'. No wonder they are having trouble, if they are hiring their 'support staff' thought a temp agency like Kelly. How many experienced support techs would be looking to a firm like that to find a job?

And if you were claiming the 'business expense' deduction, you would be violating your own contention that this was not SE taxable 'business income'. Medical milage yes, business milage, no.

Heathcliff was in "Wuthering Heights".

Just the corrected ones.

They should receive W-2s for the tip income.

From the little I know about this sort of thing, the person who provides the eggs pays nothing, and may in fact get paid, as she did, for doing this. The people getting the eggs pay for all the costs of collecting the eggs. I think this clearly IS income, and I would put it on Line 21, since she is not 'in the business' of donating eggs. Remember, ALL income which is not specifically excluded in the code is taxable. And that does not meet any of the exclusions, IMHO.

If you know that the number is not theirs, you would be participating in their fraud if you merely prepare the W-2 with a name and number that you know is not correct. Do you really want to do that? Why not call ICE and ask them how you should report this problem?

Mine came in on Friday. I never even opened the one last year, and probably will not open this one. If anyone who did not get it in their package wants it, send me a personal message and I'll send it to you for the cost of the shipping. If it's included in your package, please be patient just a bit longer, it will get there.

By checking the button for 'select all' when in the install menu.

Ain't that the truth!

You do not have to uninstall, just put in the disk, start it, and when you get the screen that you check boxes to mark what is to be installed, mark the state you want to add.

From Pub 1345: Married Filing Separate filing status returns in community property states (Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas,Washington, Wisconsin) is removed from returns not eligible for IRS e-file.

Even tho he is a minor, he can still sign his own return.

I'm glad you are here with us, Julie. By the way, are you aware that William is a member here, too?

Saving spreadsheets as master forms By saving a spreadsheet as a Master Form, you can add your custom spreadsheets to the list of forms shown in the Select Forms dialog box. You can then add these spreadsheets to any return. To save custom spreadsheets as master forms 1. Open a return. 2. Click the spreadsheet’s form tab. 3. On the Tools menu, point to Spreadsheet Tools, and then click Create Master From Spreadsheet. 4. Enter a tab name and description for the spreadsheet. 5. Click Add. 6. In the Add Master Form dialog box, specify what type of form this is by clicking the Federal, State, or Local button. Your custom spreadsheet will now appear in the Select Forms list and can be added to any return.

I have not tried this, but what I would do if I wanted that would be to go to that letter, use copy and paste to copy the letter into an excel spreadsheet, then you can import that spreadsheet into the program as a custom spreadsheet. Then you can add that to any return.
