client came in yesterday to get copy of 06 state he had not filled ,he owed, called today , he had called state and they told him they did not show that he owed anything , dud, I told him of course state did not show him at oweing, he had not mailed in the 06 form,yet, and I'm still not sure he understood when he hung up.

thank you both

if someone still has 04 ATX on comp would you look and tell me if line 16 and 19 is a refund or owe, I took off o4 and this form is impossible to read. there is amt showing on these line I'm just not sure if this is refund or owe, client is being questioned by la. thanks

If anyone knows the answers for La. it's Cathy, she has helped me several times,

state ret. is exempt, military--go to La Dept of Revenue, type in military retirement exempt in search at top of page, this is a specfic amt. and rules you can read about and proberly understand I don't know how to do a link here,

I burn to cds also I just need to know how many years for the paperwork I need to keep in my files, when I first started I was told to keep 7 years of paper, but I'm not sure this is still correct.

I need to do some housekeeping this summer, how long do I need to keep old records, and what is your best advise, shreed old records or return to client , if I can find them.(some of the address may be out dated). I looked at c. 230 but couldn't find an answer to this. thanks

thank you

client is in Iraq , he has lost his W2 and parent is trying to get a copy, if he can't get it in time. I can file extension but they don't know how much he made, etc. therefore I don't know the figures to use to do estimate, any advise here, mother is trying to get infor to go on line and get copy.

is a place on the web to look up fed Id#, I have a w2 is very hard to read.

I just want to make sure I'm right, If tp is a La. st .retirement,no ss or other income, they do not qulify for rebate, right?

Just talked to sales at atx, the incentive from the $10 will be sent out afer tax season and we get $6 of the 10. you had to fill in a special form and make a request if you want the money sent each month. I did not do this therefore i will get the check latter.

I use River City, but ATX told me this $4 was different from the incentive fees from the bank, this is suppose to be two seperate checks we get after the season. I'm calling support tom. just to make sure. if some are getting their $4 for each then I want to know where my money is, lost in cyberspace I guess, I had trouble getting several checks for my clients this year with the way we now have to go through ATX, I never had this happen when I used seperate RCB software, I got so tired of hearing each one blame the other when I had a check hung up.

I checked Lasser's and fees paid for nursing services are medical expenses claimed on A. a nurse does not have to be registered or licensed so long a he/she porvides you with medical services. In my opinion they (the son/daughter) would be in the same class as a paid sitter, these are like nurse aides in a hospital or nursing home. they stay with patient and give care such as bathes, meds. and other care. you may need to see if father lived with them or if they went to him. If he lived with them this may be a whole other story. Maybe someone has an opinion on that.

I have not gotten any extra, I get my fees, plus e-file fee, I was told by atx at the first of the season that the exta $10 tranmission fee (our share being $4) would be sent latter., If any one else has gotten their share of this fee now I would like to know. thanks
