But this dog has already attacked her dog. That justifies the muzzle. Besides putting on a muzzle is NOT punishing the dog. it does not hurt the dog, merely prevents him from biting. And just removing her dog does not deal with the fact that their dog has already been aggressive to HER, not just to her dog. Relationships are all about compromising, but she should not have to live in fear in her own home, just because her husband does not want to confront his parents. The muzzle is 'the compromise' in this case. I'm a total dog lover, but no one should have to tolerate any dog being allowed to behave aggressively without correction in their home.

Randall has it right, and has also provided you good reasons to give the client to ease his pain. Just don't let the client make you feel any of this is your fault! If he wants to be mad at someone, his lawyer is the one to be mad at.

Well, now you are getting into legal issues. IF the father transferred the property in 2013, BUT retained use of the property for his life, i.e. life estate, then it depends on state law, but it may well be that the basis is FMV at father's DOD, not the date of the transfer. Or could, depending on how done, have been a 'gift'. So here's hoping that dad did it with an attorney, as seems to be the case, since you mentioned a lawyer. Ask your client to get a letter from the attorney and you are good to go, relying on that letter. Just don't rely on only verbal, you want it in writing.

No way to avoid them, there is no rule against it, and they do audits year-round. BUT, you do not have to let the auditor take over YOUR office, Marilyn . You tell him/her where to set up, they have to respect your rights, so if the only space you can offer is cramped, the 'desk' is a wobbly table in a corner with a folding chair, etc, that's what they have to use.

The IRS has that worksheet as a downloadable pdf form. https://apps.irs.gov/app/vita/content/globalmedia/teacher/tax_treatment_scholarship_4012.pdf Perhaps you should simply paper file that return?

Why not insist that the visiting dog be required to wear a muzzle at all times he's not being fed [outside] on a leash? It seems like a reasonable compromise. If hubby does not back you on that, he deserves to be kicked out of your bedroom, IMHO.

Yes, if he paid 95K for land and timber, and the timber at that point was worth 4K, then the 'Land' value, assuming no Real Estate included, would be 91K. If there was R/E on the land, the 91K would be divided appropriately between them.

Just don't let HIS failure to do what you told him he needed to do be treated as your fault. If he does end up with a penalty, it clearly will not be because of your lack of trying.

OJ For those of you who need a good laugh, watch this short video.

Yes, but yelling that works well to get the message, without making you liable for the crime of 'brandishing' or whatever your state calls it. If you REALLY need it you would not say anything, just pull it out and use it.

Your reply should be "So do I, it goes into your return fee." It's honest, it's fair, and it will make them think twice next time.

BHoffman, so sorry, it's a terrible thing to lose a loved pet, and at this date it's even harder. Will keep you in my prayers.

Bad laws make for bad outcomes. They are stuck with this one.

You might want to read Terry's recent thread, While the original post is not quite the same situation, the thread included info on how to report complicated rollover situations in several different softwares.

i agree with Cat, just basic good idea to file the 8822.

And maybe try re-installing the update? Or update again.

Some battles can not be won, and a client who chooses to ignore reality is one of those.

I think you are confusing "net book value" which is "Cost - Accumulated Depreciation" vs "Basis" which is the Cost paid for it, or the FMV on the date she inherited it, or well, you know the rules if she obtained it by gift

I'm with Terry on that point. If you look at it too long, it's a waste of time. Sleep on it, and the next day it's often easier to see what was missed.

I agree.

Dan, I think Gail has a good point.

Hope you feel better real soon, Cat. Too bad you can't come visit me, it was 73 today and sunny, supposed to be up tp 76 Tuesday.

Sorry, Terry, on ATX the place to put the rolled-over amount is the third input box. Did not realize you used a different software. But on any software, it should be somewhere on the 1099R form. Glad you found it.
