I'll be curious to know the answer to your question too. I have in the past also been treasurer of several 501©3 organizations, and none ever had double signatures. I have seen some who do, but I was always under the impression it was up to each organization to decide if that was a feature they wanted to use for security purposes etc. I have never seen or read any documentation as what the actual requirements are. (if there are any).

Thanks Margaret. Blows my mind. Why have I been printing and mailing till now???????? I had read the posts with the acks not coming back. >>Tomorrow I think I will print out and mail<< Are you sure this is a good idea? If the IRS has recieved them, but ATX has issues with returning the ACKs, would this cause problems with the IRS if they recieve a duplicate copy of previously filed forms? Possibly create a whole lot of correcting etc to do later. <just wondering>

I have never e-filed 1099s before and really need to do a few yet. I imput and printed the paper copies for recipient and client. Then I hit hte "efile" button at the top expecting a signature page or some other form would be needed in order for it to e-file. No forms popped up and the efiles were created with only the 1096 and the 1099. Am I missing something? If it is really this easy, I want my time back that I spent on 30+ other companies I printed and MAILED 1099s this year. I just can't believe that it's this easy. I hope someone can enlighten me :scratch_head:

ok, so if you split a Sch C, how do you handle depreciation?

hhhmm... would you be interested in coming to the office to show me your experience? How far is Salem for North Central Ohio? :P

TP has much larger W2 income than spouse. (spouse part time). One kid to be claimed. Couple not planning on getting divorced. (I know them personally). I don't see the benefit for MFS. Possibly on OH state return, could save a few bucks, but I think federal would be much better joint.

TP and Spouse both have W2 income. TP has small home business on the side. Spouse has nothing to do with this business, other than her name is on the checking account along with her husband. (joint account.) The Big Green People are doing the return as MFS and splitting the Schedule C income & expenses among both spouses. I have never heard of this being done, and I tried to find something in TTB about this but was unable to find anything. Is this the proper way to hande this Sch C? Just curious how ya'll would handle this. I know they are not happy with it, and it would not surprise me, if I get a call from them.

thanks taxperson. I shortened the spouses last name. Took out the middle initials for both TP & Spouse. Also shortened spouse's first name. (ie... Jennifer to Jenn) After doing this I was able to create efile. (Now just curious if it will be accepted) Thanks to all!!!!!

TP died 11/07. Spouse is filing as surviving spouse. ATX won't let me create efile with the following error: Name is too long for efile (currently JOHN A DECD & JANE A SMITH) Truncate using ........ blah blah blah etc I have had this error message with hyphenated last names and I know how to correct that. But I am thinking this error has to do with the "DECD" in the TP's name field. This "DECD" is not in the name field on the 1040 and I don't know how to get rid of it, if that is my problem. Thought maybe someone has experienced this before and will know the answer to my problem(s). (It's hard to find the solution if you don't know what the problem is) Thanks!!!!!

I like ATX because........... ice cream has no bones!!!

yep just like always.... one thing leads to another!

4:12 PM..... Same error message as this morning again. Must be "off" again!!! on - off - on - off - on - off woooo--hoooooo

wouldn't a bit of frikken duct tape have fixed the problem?

At 2:10 PM est, I succesfully transmitted a return. No Acks coming thru, but also no red error messages.

BEFORE Children: I knew exactly how to raise them. AFTER Children: I am learning as we grow.

I had same problem earlier. But as of 10:55 EST everything seems to be back up and runnning. (See similar thread in e-file forum)

ok..... It's 10:55 and I have just received acks and transmitted all returns as normal. Hopefully things are good to go again.

At 10:00 AM. Just did another update. Still not able to receive acks, etc. Still waiting!!!!!!

Catherine... I don't feel like letting them off that easy. (blaming it on the weather). Now if it's a serious problem (like PMS or such) I can go along with it, but nope, not accepting it as the weather's fault. :unsure:

ok... is ANYONE able to receive acks or transmit returns this morning?

Tried to receive Acks this morning. Get a red error, that says: "unable to receive Acks. Try again and if this error persists, contact ATX technical support." I am curious, have I been picked as the person they are creating problems for today or is everyone having this problem this morning? I really, really, don't want to have to call tex upport.

Just curious...... Is "a sheet of paper with the figures" not acceptable as enough information to prepare a Schedule C? Maybe I am totally by myself here, but I would much rather have that, than a cardboard box full of receipts and daily cash register tapes to get my information from. (just had to throw that in)

Thanks for all the responses. I definately am getting some great ideas. Yesterday I got a call from ATX. They are wanting me to use their accounting program. I asked what they have to offer in payroll software. He gave me a brief summary of "ATX Payroll". I told him I would get back to him after tax season. It's actually CCH's program but they made a few small changes and are now calling it "ATX". Anyone using either one of these? Have a good day!!

Sounds like the issuer thought they were rid of that pesky client of yours who insisted on a correct 1099 by handing her a "corrected" one. But never bothered to correct it with the IRS. Just goes to show that what goes around, comes around. (and bites where it hurts). Lemme think, shouldn't you be invoicing the issuer for your time etc. to correct their mistake?
