I already find out what the problem is: No valid SS#, no credit. Lucho

I already did two returns (done with them) but with the third one I can not get the $400 credit (Gross Income $35,000.00); married couple with two children. Click on line 63, but the schedule M shows completely blank and no way to type anything on Sch M 1a because I get a message that overriding can mess up the figures in the return. In the two prior ones the $400 came automatically as soon as I clicked line 63. client qualifies for the credit. Anybody has any idea of what might be the problem. Every year a Headache. (This client already complain that one of his friends is getting a larger refund. Thank you in advance again God blesses averyone Lucho

Thank you Pacun. Lucho

I am digging on my own question and almost getting the answer, but if you have any comment on please post it. Thank you Lucho

Based on this post, I assume that if a couple leaving together as boy/girl friend and only one of them had income during the year, the one of them having income can file as head of house hold claiming the other as dependent. I thought HOH implies having a qualifying child or a qualifying relative only, but not in the case of couples just because they leave together without being married. Now my question is this: Can a boy friend file as HOH (where there are no children) claiming her girlfriend as dependent? (Assuming the boy friend provided the support for the year. Lucho

I already got Federal but waiting for CA. Lucho

I got it but the problem now is that I do not find the way to center the wording in the middle (is showing on the left side) and the three aligment tabs don't look to funtion in this situation. Even though I center the wording by myself when opening the real letter it still will show on the left. I will continue trying. Wish me luck. Lucho

No. I mean the Cover Sheet Thank you again Lucho

I want to have the cover sheet letter combined Fdrl. and Ste. in one page, but forgot how to do it in the program. I would appreciate anybody's help giving me the instructions. Thank. Lucho

I got it JohnH Thank you. Lucho

How can you explain this? During the year, taxpayers got extra money in every paycheck to amount the $400.00 for the credit. Now that I am doing a return for single taxpayer I am getting another $400.00 credit. The instructions in Schedule M say: “Even if your federal tax withholding was reduced during 2009 because of the credit, you must complete Schedule M and claim the credit on your return to benefit from it. Did tax payers get the credit during the year or not? If not, what was the idea to change the tax withholding tables to reduce the withholding? Thank you Lucho

Never mind, There was an issue with my try-out transmission and call customer support. They helped me with my DCN question too. Have averyone a blessed day.

With the new changes in the 2009 program I want to make sure everything is set correctly. I have the DCN counter in my main computer (the one that has all returns from the past) set to start from 1 to 250; and in the second computer (a back up in case I needed) from 251 to 500. Does this looks OK? I do not expect to do more than 150 returns, but if my main Comp. fails, I want to have the other ready. Thank you again Lucho

Good evening. I just came from work; now is time for taxes. thank you to everyone to guide me on where to get the book. Lucho

Which other company besides Quickfinder can I find to buy my 2009 California Tax Handbook? Quickfinder are excellent books I can tell you but there is an issue with my physical address and they do not deliver to P.O. Boxes. The TaxBook does not have it and I have been checking with our lovely CCH but even though they have hundreds of tax books I don't see the CA. Thank for any help. Good luck during tax season to everyone Lucho

Yes. Thank you again Lucho

Pacun, is there a way to hold the system on to try to read the message? my friend says it happen so fast with no time to read it. Thank you. I will be back this evining to check for any other post. Lucho

Dan, Thank you. I will try to do something tomorrow night; now is to late to call her up. I let you know.

My friend's is worried about not affording buying a new computer right away. Her lap top begun restarting itself several times during the week. She says when the lap top is on all of sudden the screen becomes blue; a message comes for about two seconds and then it restart automatically. Her ATX Software Program might come this week. She started her practice last year without luck but she will try again this coming season. Can anyone with experience tell us if there is anything possible to do to fix it? Last year I took one of my desk tops computer to Office Depot for a “Free Tune-Up” but they messed it up, so I would not recommend my friend to go anywhere (unless she decides on her own) Thank you in advance and May God bless this forum. Lucho

Thank Deb. I will follow your instructions Lucho

Thank you KC. Lucho

Prospective client came to my office asking for help. He recently opened a small food business in September 5, 2009; and Ca. BOE just sent a letter reminding him that no record indicates that sales and use tax return have being reported for the quarter (this is true). All he showed me was all the daily tapes from the sales but nothing else. Reason for notice says: Failure to File 3rd Quarter 2009 tax Return. Because this is new for me, I would appreciate any CA member of this forum to guide me on how to proceed. I have being checking the BOE website for guidance but I could not find any sales tax return form. Actually, at the time of posting this message I found the BOE “Sales and Use Tax Forms and Applications” showing tons of forms and but no idea for me which one is the appropriate one to use. I thank you in advance and wish Happy Holydays to everyone. Lucho
