Ray in Ohio

I entered the full amount on the worksheet and only the amount over $2400 showed on the 1040. Nothing special you have to do. IMO. I believe the program calculates it correctly if you enter the full amount of the 1099.

I must have turned mine off too. Now I am struggling to get her turned on again. :blush:

While restocking my drawers I found a partial bag of pretzels left over from last tax season. I put them outside for the birds and squirrels and now they wont even eat them. The salt has lost its flavor. What should I do with them? Looks like this will be a rough tax season, with problems like this already. :unsure:

ya gotta use fricken bananas!!

We have a client here that says she wants to "rollover" her traditional IRA into an HSA. She says you can do this "one time". We have researched this and have not been able to find anything on this subject, so I am asking if anyone has ever heard of this and it can be done or did she hear this at the local coffee shop. Thanks for your help.

BOOGER!!!!!!!! BOOGER!!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU OK??? Someone call 911~~~~~~~~ Man down!!!!!!!! (No Catherine, you can't give him mouth to mouth! Leave that to the professionals) LOL!!

will you two get a room already.... ??? (we're trying to work over here) :rolleyes:

Thanks for the quick responses!! KC... you are wonderful. You are so right, I would have spooked when that message pops up. Lord Willing... I am gonna survive another tax season. (frazzled... but survived) :D

I understand you can e-file the form 4868 Extension request by itself. (true?) Then I am also 'assuming' you can efile the actual returns at a later date too. I just wanted some confirmation on that before I get in trouble yet. Thanks for this and all other assistance this year!!!

I think I can... I think I can.... I think I can!!!!!!!!

What is the latest you can efile a return and still have the payment (taxes due) electronically deducted from your checking account by April 15th. Is it as long as the return is accepted by the 15th? Never really had this come up before. Experiences?? (Hang in there y'all....... one more week)

I need the site where the remedies can be downloaded from!

I'm still here. Totally charged and refreshed for what will be one hectic week. To try to answer your questions: I found out too late last year, that SE income that is not subject to SE tax, (which I am assuming your client's wasnt) is not qualifying income for the RRC. However, if the taxpayer has Income tax prior to the CTC, then they do qualify for that portion plus the 300 for each child. The only reason that I can think of that he is getting it now, is that on the 07 return he had no tax, but now on the 08 he does and therefore qualifies. Now... "is this a government handout?" I get asked that question a lot. I try to explain it like KC did above. It's a "Rebate" of something paid prior. I also have told some if you do not want to keep it, to donate it to a church or charity that will put it to better use than the buffoons in the DC. I had a few TP that wrote VOID on the check and sent it back. None of them got any response. I am curious where those checks actually are. Where did they mail it?? Was the center that received them a "receiving" center??? Are the checks still floating around out there somewhere??

Way to go ERC!! I came onto this board today fully prepared for some pranks. Even when I read the title of this thread, all my prank sensors were in full alert mode. I really can't believe so many fell for it. Ya gotta have a sense of humor in life!!! Good Job!!

One of my clients moved to NY on 12/01/08. He Started a dairy farm. Has a huge loss on Schedule F with all the drepeciation etc. He does have Scedule C profit from his business in Ohio. What all does he need to file for NY state (if anything)? I downloaded IT-203 and entered the Sch F loss as the only income (loss) earned in NY. Is this proper? Any thing else I need to do? It asks for County and SD of residence. Is there a website etc that I can use to check SD etc by using his address? Thanks in advance for any assistance. I want to get this thing of my desk!!

Most of my clients have not. I Have!! Makes a lot of sense.

one word comes to mind............. multi-tasking??? :o

and now it has turned into "petite sticky buns" Holy Smokes!!!!

agrees with the above. Good Luck!

when you say "rest" I expect that is the brief moment from around 11:00 PM till 4:00 AM. It seems I crawl into bed and blink once or twice and its time to spring back out of bed fully charged.

Woo-hoo!! Have another bun on me!!! :D

ok ... this thread is starting to get me excited. All this talk of sweet buns .... and honey..... and kitchen babes, and now someone mentioned drooling all over the keyboard............... golly...... whoa mama!!! Can we keep this rated PG .. please?? :P

I had to laugh when I read this. I do the same thing!!!!!! It reminds me of the rubber cement balls we used to make in school. Woohoo!!!!!!!! Life is so much fun!!!!!!!!!

I think I am starting a collection of IDIOTS. Yesterday, a client dropped of his information including a small business. I was busy at the time so my secretary took his info. Later in the day when I starting entering his information I notice that there is no figure for gross income. He has several 1099 misc in the pile so I assumed that the total of those would be his income. But, after I entered all the information he had listed, he showed a HUGE loss. So, I called him back and asked what his gross income is. He thinks a little and then says..... "oh, you need that?" This is where I would normally YELL. But I'm calm now. :spaz:

I agree!! If I wouldn't know better, I'd think I'm starting to get stressed out. (But I know better) :D
