Very likely.

That just comes down to crazy rules the unions have gotten put in place for qualifying for disability. Remember the case about the cop who got full disability because he stapled his finger? http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/New-Jersey-Transit-Police-Officer-Disability-Lifetime-Pension-Shooting-Gun-Facebook-Video-235336831.html http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2013/12/12/Police-officer-staples-finger-gets-lifetime-disability-study-finds/UPI-65141386875426/

I think you should just say "good riddance" and let it go. If they DO come back at the last minute, charge extra. If not, you lost the stress of dealing with an unreasonable client or clients. No way should you be expected to read minds.

Yes, he qualifies. HERE ARE THE SPECIAL MILITARY EITC RULES http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Special-EITC-Rules

Well, when they don't, they normally have a form that you input the changes, and in most cases, it fills automatically when you go to that form.

In most states, the state calculation is the same as the federal one. CA being the most major one I've dealt with. I'm not sure, but the FAM program I think can deal with multiple state depreciation. In most cases you just add the other state's NR form to the return, and there is a form in most where you make any adjustments from the federal.

Remember the 'old days' when almost all the forms were set before the end of Oct, and the software only updated occasionally, and almost never to change more than a handful of forms?

If that is right, unless you actually need to change something because Pennsylvania taxes it differently, you do not need to do anything, because the Sch E has the Pennsylvania address on it, If on the other hand, Pennsylvania does, for instance, have different depreciation rules, then I'd "duplicate" the return, and on the duplicate, change the t/p address to Pennsylvania, which will then let you print the tax classification report, showing PA as the state, with that state's rules applied. You can then use that for the NR Pennsylvania return reporting the Pennsylvania rental income.

OK, let me see if I'm understanding the problem. You are looking at the 4562, the tax classification report, and it shows the t/p resident state,Maryland, right? But you also need to file a NR Pennsylvania return reporting the Pennsylvania rental income. Do I have that right?

Yes, I agree with Cat, plus in some cases the parent knows if the money goes directly to the kid, some [or even all of it] may not go to the school bills. I, like Cat, usually put the full amount on Line 21, even if backing all of it out again. May not be required, but never got a CP2000 out of one done that way.

Gee, I had not thought about the letter. Thanks for making sense of that for me! Best I could come up with was on a supporting document for a donation!

I'm curious, has anyone actually used the "Insert Picture" feature in the Edit menu? Where would you? Sure seems an unusual feature in a tax program.

I have no idea, but would strongly urge you to talk to tech support, they may have a solution, or at least can ask for a fix if alerted to the problem.

Yes, they can transfer their interest in as a capital investment, But for your CYA you should advise them to have a lawyer draw up the agreement between them and set up the holding company. Legal Zoom is not a good idea for this sort of thing, because if they run into problems they need an agreement that protects all of them fairly. An attorney will take that all into consideration, and if not, they blame him, not you.

I'm still waiting for Winter to get here. Wore my new coat only once so far, and did not really need it then. Usually did not get snow but once or twice a year "back home" in AR, and only a few inches at a time, but this year they set new records for number of snow days.

Tim is a great guy, who has helped many of us with Canadian questions, over the years. You can feel totally comfortable referring your client to him for the Canadian return.

Thanks for the heads-up.

I alway keep any handwritten notes from a client IN MY PAPER FILE FOLDER, but that's just in case there was an issue later about what they gave me. No way would I send to IRS. They don't read them anyway.

Mine takes me to the 'Contributions" page directly.

Marco, you have to check the box at the top of that worksheet before you can get that field to turn blue.

How much difference? A significant amount or just a few dollars?
