  1. Don't put in the address and uncheck 'add to payor manager' and you shouldn't have an issue. I never put in addresses for 1099-Int or Div, and don't have a problem. If you have a federal EIN you don't even have to uncheck the payor manager box.
  2. I went over there and then saw your post, so I added on to it. I'm sure they monitor here too, but probably not as much. I got a call from a tech support today. I wonder if they tend to call the people that post reasonable requests, don't scream on the board, and tend to post relevant info, like what system they're using and how the error was generated? He actually laughed when I told him I was getting this error too, and after crashing twice, decided to go to bed and worry about it in the morning. Said that was sometimes the best way to deal with it.
  3. I'm getting this (crashing) when I tried to delete CA and reload because I got an efile rejection and thought the 540 might be corrupted. I got a call from tech support today regarding another issue I had posted on the official forum. I had already corrected it, but apparently they are trying to recreate errors we're getting so they can find the problems. So we need to report this problem.
  4. I update Win 7 automatically. Would this update be included (standalone)?
  5. And half the complaints are the same thing complained about by 50 different people on 50 different threads, commented on by the same 50 people 100 different times. The other half of the complaints are things that are functioning correctly in the software, but they're too dumb to know it.
  6. Yes you have to include the amount rolled over in the section below the 1099R input. Otherwise the program won't print ROLLOVER next to line 15a on the 1040.
  7. Found the answer: 1040 is corrupted. So delete the 1040 from the return and re-ad it. Pain in the butt since you have to retype all the 1040 info, but none of the other forms dropped. Fixed the W2 issue too.
  8. Anyone else getting this with brand new returns in 12.10? Just tried rebooting, and am now going to search the knowledge base. May try replacing the master form in the asset file too.
  9. Oh cool, I haven't tried in 12.10 yest.
  10. Did you select the proper description when entering the transactions-A, B, or C?
  11. Yeah, and I think we are all reading first and downloading second. Which means we are doing the downloads correctly, and we look for workarounds before calling tech support. Those of us that were on the old ATX board that was shut down were used to going to the board for answers-and have been doing so and helping each other for the last 10 years. The large amount of idiots tax 'professionals' on the other board who cant even read a pinned topic in bold all cap at the top of a page before whining are the reason the phone lines are plugged up.
  12. For me depreciation was fixed. I still need to go back to a return where I had to override the current dep since it was calc'd wrong, but I did a return last night, and the FAM was impressive.
  13. My depreciation schedules aren't printing even if checked off; or at least weren't in 12.8. Haven't tried one yet in 12.10. Of course all of these returns have rentals, so I'm not filing them yet anyways. But I do like having them ready to go.
  14. My depreciation is working well with 12.10. Just did a bulk disposition, and it took a bit of finagling to get it figured out, but then it worked flawlessly. And prior year depreciation is calculating automatically when I'm entering assets for new clients. And correctly too.
  15. I like the concept of the print packets, but I haven't been able to look up what the default settings are, where I think a lot of my issues were coming up. At this point I'd rather uncheck & check boxes and worry about working that out later. I set my packets up too, but just gave up on them. They might work better when all the ups are out of the print manager.
  16. I was worried about 12.10 too, but I've had no complete returns uncheck, the FAM is automatically calculating prior depreciation correctly for new clients as I enter their assets - this was a freaking pleasant enhancement surprise to say the least - and the program and returns are opening faster, as is the print manager. I took the advice on the other board: downloaded, rebooted computer, ran update, rebooted computer.
  17. Have him file the FBAR late with an explaination, as well as any other forms he might need. I've done 'quiet' filings like this before and have gotten some letters requesting an explaination of late filing before assessing any penalty. Last year I did 10 years back filings of 3520s, 3520-A & FBARs, and they accepted the explaination that we were not aware that a foreign retirement fund is considered a foreign trust. All penalties were waived. I have the client file the FBARs-too much liability there, and it isn't a tax form. Don't do amnesty; small potatoes aren't what they're looking for.
  18. Nice to have some good news on here!
  19. Client sold a HI rental (nonresident). The capital gains from the HI D-1 are not flowing to line 14 of the HI N-15. I've checked that it is a residential rental on the D-1. ATX flub or is there something else I should be looking for?
  20. In preferences, uncheck print packets. These override the check boxes in the print manager. I successfully started printing last night without using print preview to double check what was printing first.
  21. No problems with boxes, and I had two returns open and the program was notably faster than before the update. I tried to open a return that was efile accepted before I updated and it crashed the program. After the update, it opened fine. And print preview was fast even with two returns open. I'll live with the greyed out page print on the letters for that.
  22. I have some. I'm happy now. Mmmmmmmmmm.
  23. Make sure the assets are assigned.
  24. Servers are an issue. I'm on a standalone.
  25. You just put in the totals. Form 6781. Not 8949.
