Slippery Pencil

From the email I received today, printed below, it looks like they are going to change it and even improve it over last year. Regarding the pdf print box, I've called and complained every year on that. There is no option to remove the box. I've also submitted it through the suggestion box every year. I called again this year about a month ago. I was yelling and screaming by the end of the call. She said I would get an email about it and that she was very interested in why the box couldn't be removed and was going to put in a suggestion herself so she could get feedback on it. A month later I still haven't heard back. I imagine if enough people yelled & screamed they might put a check box in the alert to not show it again. From: [email protected] Dave, We are working on allowing an override on line 21. We also will bring to line 21 the description from the line 21 worksheet if only one entry is made. This release will be out in a few days. Thanks for taking the time to send us your suggestion. Karen Hall ATX Tax Manager

Why won't the program allow me to put a description in Line 21 for other income? ATX said their users requested that this field be made so it couldn't be overridden. What type of idiot preparer would want us not to be able to override fields?

How do we see the picture?

On the 1099-INT input form.

Technically they are late and she could get hit with a penalty, but I've never seen it happen. I've mailed them a couple days late before and never had an issue. I even mailed my 1040V and payment a week late last year and never heard from them. Tell her to drop them in the mail and never worry about it.

Just got off the phone with ATX. Everyone's user name is ADMIN. So if you're using the same user name you've used in the past, it won't work.
