Thank you so much. Apparently I forgot the Reporting Agent Control Number is the first four letters of my last name. I should have checked last year's program. Your last sentence states I should have the official list of all companies I report for. What is the best way to obtain the list? And a Happy New Year! Andy

I notice this year's payroll program requires a Reporting Agent Control Number. Would this be the first characters of the Reporting Agents name (line 9 form 8655)?

We prepared a 3115 for a client. The client mailed the original signed form to Ogden. So far, so good. When e-filing the 1120S, the 3115 pdf did not attach to the return. Am not sure what to do. Am considering mailing the signed copy of the 3115 to the address a paper return would be sent with an explanation. Any thoughts? Thank you.

In ATX, how doe you attach a note to a state return that will be e-filed?

Thank you kcjenkins.

mircpa, I'm good with that except my understanding is that deferred compensation (401k, simple,..) has to be subtracted form box 2 on the 941. When you add the four 941s (box 2) they should agree with the box 1 on the W2. I'm surprised this never happened before. Huh....

Client is the sole shareholder of an S corporation. Takes a salary of $7,500 a quarter. Also had health insurance of $4,000 for the year and in late December put $12,000 into his Simple IRA. The dilemma is box 2 on the 4th quarter 941: $7,500 + $4,000 health insurance - $12,000 is a negative number so that cannot go on line 2. The sum of the four 941s line 2 should agree to box 1 on the W2. The only thing I can think of is to amend a prior 941. Anyone have this issue?

Can no longer open a newly rolled over return. The ATX blog instructions of 1/16 and 2/4 did not help/

I cannot open new rollover returns since 12.8. Previoulsy rolled over ones are fine. downlaoded the descriptors zip file (per ATX blog). Does not help.

On hold for an hour. Had a simple 1120S on my plate to pass the time. Going forward, I'll leave the date blank. Not sure how much that really matters. Clients dated it and send it to me 3 weeks later. I just write on the bottom of the form received on "2/6/13". Asking them to redate the form will not work for my clients. Just happy to get the form if I only have to ask for it less than 3 times!

Spoke to ATX this afternoon. They are aware the 4562 is crashing the program. Will be addressed in 12.7. They do not have a target release date. Am doing the same thing Maribeth is regarding sending out 1120sreturns with form When I get back the 8879S, I put in my file the day I received it and further detail the return was not e-filed same day/next day and why. When the return is actually filed, what date should be put in the tax program?

It cannot be done.

Sharie, I stand by the NATP book ($75) and Exam Matrix $199. After I took the exam, it was broght to my attention by someone else using the product that Exam Matrix uses questions from old Enrolled Agent exams to have you better prepared for the RTRP exam. Let us know how the APlusCPE works out.

Thank you Lion!

Passed the exam yesterday. MUCH easier than I imagined. Read the NATP text book, used the Exam matrix product, and read Circular 230.
