there is a special rule for cash taxpayers not using inventory and taking it as supplies.

I thought they wanted explanation of improvement made this year. so I just wrote no improvement in 2008. also went thru

YES They paid money. I thought the cash liquadation on the 1099 div would be the selling price.

So I can use the money they contributed as basis.

received 1099-div .... box 8 cash liquidation distrbutions. this is from an assocation that disolved last year and they divided up the money and distrubited. its a county club assocation. I'm not sure what to do with it. anyone that can help would be appicated.

no... the loss is carried over if they do take distribution in excess of basis then it is taxable on the 1040

half the time the state number doesn't get input and my state is NOT the same as the federal. I have never had any problem with going thru without state number

she will be using it as a personal residence so loss would not be allowed anyway. Doesn't plan on selling.

question about related parties. one brother dies and the father is the personal rep of the estate. the estate has to sell the house and sells to the sister. no equity in the house. 2 loans on it. the sister is going to take a mortgage to pay off both loans. in this market they can not find a buyer for what the balance is on the loans. They had an appraisal on the house and it was lower than the mortgages. I want to double check on related parties rules. I read and think they are ok not related. the sister is not a beneficary of the estate. I am checking on this for the first time buyers credit. Any thoughts?

new client. last year filed 1120s for short tax year 07/01/07--09/30/07 on the 2007 form this year 10/01/07 thru 09/30/08 filed on 1120s 2008 but error comes up and when I double check instruction it says to file on the 2007 tax form. Will that be a problem with two 2007 forms filed. I thought you filed on the form which the end of the month falls on. ending 09/30/08 file on 2008. Any help please

I have trouble logging in this website. Alway comes up forbidden error 404. after I log in several times it finally comes up to site. ???

But I called efile services, and they said we could efile until midnight if our software company accepted it. She said time goes by validated by software but atx said no paper file.

you can't. you have to paper file with upe

Not this year. It's 11:00 AM at your filing center. Just talked to ATX they told me is was IRS rule but I then talked to IRS and they will accept until midnight but only if your software will send on.

Am I the only one who didn't know the deadline to efile returns is 11:00 am today!!!!. I thought we alway had to midnight at center where we file. Is this new ? and is this ATX or IRs

So onced she gets the itin number then she will go to the social security office and apply for a SS number. For some reason I thought the itin would convert to the ss number once her green card was approved. but its two separate numbers?
