I guess I didn't make myself clear. The children did not live in the house at all. So there is no exclusion for them. I know how to figure the basis for them, I just need some support as to if it is personal or considered an investment sale...

Parents sold home and moved to assisted living apt. Children's names had not appeared on property tax statements in previous years (don't know how important that is) but when the sale occurred, 2 adult children each received 32% of the sale price and a 1099-S. I meet with one of the adult children Monday and need to be prepared for his answer to my question as to when the 32% was gifted to him. Can someone give me best/worst case situations and which form I start on? I know I can figure the basis but I am unsure about business or personal, capital gain or ordinary. Thanks.

JANESVILLE Minnesota Home of a reversible 9 hole golf course...one of 3 or 4 in the country. Town name is spelled out on 10 grain bins at the edge of town (one letter per bin) "Doll in the Window" hangs from second story window of home of a strange guy. and slow down when you go thru town as the local cops are very active!

Okay, The situation is this... Form M1NC was automatically added to my forms. MFJ return, didn't itemize but took the $1000 Real Estate Tax additional standard deduction...When it flowed over to MN form M1NC is not required as the info goes on M1M line 11, but if the MN1NC form is in the return, an incorrect calculation is made on line 29 and line 30 which carries over to MN 1 page 1 line 8..leaving their taxable income $1000... I sent an e-mail to ATX support, but who knows how long it might take.

Has anyone heard how ATX is doing getting MN e-filing approved? I thought after last year they maybe tried harder this year....

Thank you so much. This board is the greatest!

What amount of Self-employment earns a person one quarter towards Social Security? I know it changed this year but I can't find any info on it. I would appreciate any help.

I got it...and sent an e-mail asking when they expected to release MN this year as last year it was middle of February. I have not heard a word....

I am getting attention also, but I haven't given in...Just suggested they apply this same "attention" to their tech support....

[What IRS email acknowledgement? I look at the ack in my software, and that's it. Have NEVER gotten an email from the IRS. Add a form 9325 to a return after e-file is accepted and you will see that it is filled in with the e-file information.

I had one client with the same story...glad to hear that it wasn't just me... Mine was my busiest week in February so I thought I had done something wrong...

Sign in my office states "Prices subject to Change...according to customer's attitude." I'm in home office in MN and average 1040 with a couple of w-2s; sch a and couple other forms starts at $150...and it does vary according to client's record keeping and talking...some of my older clients just want to visit and gladly pay my price to do it. They know that their return gets more complex as they get older.....

Can I change my vote yet? I was undecided but not any more. It's good bye ATX. Life is too short to wonder what the big boys will do next...I have all summer to adapt to a program that is happy to have me.

This is such an IMPORTANT survey that I think it should be posted on the Official board.... I noticed that a few posts there were removed....and one was really good...too bad...

Does TRX have an ATX conversion?

Last year when I needed to clarify what counted toward the 100 e-files I was told anything with one social security number counted as one. I have not gotten a bill yet, but they better stick to what they said....

I questioned them and was told it was by social security number...In MN some people will file 2 state returns and I wanted it clear that that would count as one return. I haven't checked billing but will be very sad if they try to charge me...keep us posted.

No ACKS here. But thanks everybody for getting me thru the year. I am hoping you will guide me also as I look for a user-friendly customer oriented program for next year.

Is this interest and dividend income? Have the parents file 8814 and claim the child's income. I know they can with interest I am not sure about the partnership part, but if it comes on a K-1 as interest it should work.

At the very top towards the right side...next to donations is Calendar...

I am having same error...says to try again...like I have nothing else to do!!!

I am only guessing, but if you were added to MN list last year you wouldn't have to do anything more. It's worth a try. We don't have to "re-new" as such each year.

Question for Blackenend....What does firewalls etc have to do with the fact that Minnesotans could not e-file until mid February...and even then had to re-create and re-send all the returns because ATX screwed up? The software is okay...the tech support, as someone said, is standing in the unemployment line in Maine.

AMEN TO ALL THAT!

Be sure your clients are aware that if they do use the multiple deposit method that they will get a paper check for the Stimulus.
