A few years ago -- but at least five years after the fact (which will become clear shortly) I was writing a check for groceries at the store. Without blinking, I put "1998" in section for the year. And had to void that check and start over.

However, I note the use of the conditional. Should. Yeah. "I want to live in theory - everything works in theory!" said the button for sale at the sci-fi convention.

He might not last until March, let alone December!

And you should definitely get 1099-R's for all the transactions. Report; easier than dealing with CP2000 letters.

Send out an SOS at the time and include your number. We'll all take turns calling.

Barnum was an optimist... so the answer to @Jack from Ohio's question is "not until the millenial kingdom at earliest."

I also appreciate the information and will upgrade to the 64-bit version today. In about three minutes, in fact.

While I agree with you, if I use that my state can come after me. They forbid the use of unencrypted email for "sensitive information" and not only may I not send it, but if I receive I am supposed to delete that email and inform the sender to do the same.

In general an inheritance is not income. Unless there is interest etc earned after a demise, in which case that portion may be income.

A number of years ago I grew a potato that looked just like the Yellow Submarine. We called it the Yellow SPUDmarine and I joked about selling it on ebay for thousands. But we ate it; it was yummy!

Sympathies on the problems with your mom, Judy.

I think Janitor Bob employs the right tactic here.

And yet, how much worse it is for them if we do not make that decision. They depend on us to know better and to act on that knowledge, no matter how much it hurts *us* at the time. Every one who has chosen to feel the pain and guilt, in order to relieve the pain of a pet, gets the reward of a special kind of strengthening in their character for so doing.

My sympathies to you as well, @JRS!!

Do you have any of the annual year-end Fidelity statements showing your contributions? Bank statements showing checks/auto-debits? If you can reasonably created that basis I would. Perhaps a Line 21 negative adjustment for "annuity basis adjustment" with a disclosure statement.

Not sure about ATX any more, but yes it should go on Sch D so that is what I would do. Your mileage may vary.

My sympathies, Joan! Take it easy with yourself. The motivation will come back when it will and you will do better giving yourself some time to grieve.

pdf995 suite is $9.95 and can be used with one of its add-ons (another $10 or so, one-time cost) to password protect pdf's. If you already have Adobe, ou can use that to do the same. I love my file portal; it comes with my CPA Site Solutions web site. The web site also has a utility that lets clients send me protected files by email without them having to have any software; click the link and off they go.

Hike the bill for those calls and missed appointments. I am getting SO tired and ticked off with those types of shenanigans, and I am hiking bills (easy for me; I lower the discount given!) for things I used to shrug off.

from another forum (I have clicked on the link and it does go to accounting today): The company, enQ Inc., launched its service last Wednesday. “We call the IRS, and sell our place on hold to our customers,” said Andrew Valiente, founder of the Walnut, Calif.-based company. “This means our customers can cut their hold times when calling the IRS from hours to minutes. While there are similar existing services (for example, Lucy Phone and Fast Customer), both of these options rely on a return call from a customer service agent. We put our customers directly in touch with a customer service agent, without waiting for a return phone call.” http://www.accountingtoday.com/news/tax-practice/new-service-aims-to-cut-irs-phone-call-hold-times-77127-1.html?utm_medium=email&ET=webcpa:e6040074:993064a:&utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=tax%20practice-feb%204%202016&st=email

Plus my software (Drake) tells me that when the M-1 and M-2 and L are not required, they are NOT transmitted to the IRS even when I force them to print.

I have a 4-in-1 also but a separate line for the fax. It will fax duplex-printed pages too, which I really like. Great for when I need to fax something signed (2848, state equivalent...).

IRS E-Services hardware issue has been resolved. The IRS E-Services system came back online at approximately 1:00pm EST. There may be intermittent issues over the next few days. We have been testing the system and it is currently stable. The IRS reported a major main frame computer outage that also affected E-Filing and many other IRS Electronic Services. As always we will keep you posted.

Even if all you do is read the titles of the pieces they are plenty funny. "Erotica for banned instruments" or "Sonata of two unfriendly groups of instruments" are funny without knowing one thing about classical music.

About ten minutes of laugh-out-loud demented brilliance. Referee, injuries, player substitutions, audience shenanigans, and running commentary from the broadcast announcers... PDQ Bach and Beethoven's Fifth
