I am waiting for a grumpy older lady to send back the signed efile form. She has already received her executor fees and doesn't want to do anything more. She lives a distance away so the forms were mailed to her. The attorney does not have authority to sign as executor. I'm kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place. Not sure how to convince her to sign papers and don't know what alternative I have.

Not sure which one is embarrassed. But thank you BobH for sharing form # and phone #

This will be the last windows computer I own.

Many of my clients owe 1099s only to me. What do you guys do in these situations. Do you tell them they need to do one? Do you just do it for them? I feel like these guys get kinda bent out of shape if I'm telling them to comply and its only me I'm charging them for. When will the 1099 amount ever go up?

I tried to download the medlin trial version of AR but got a windows error kind of message and could not open it.

I'm going to switch to Drake this year. But I am also looking for a new billing system. For years we've used an excel template that worked for the secretary that I had, but since she left this spring, I want to find something a little more user friendly. So was wondering if Drake had any built in receivables, income tracking system with it. Am also looking at the Medlin program and wondering if any one has used that?

If an accountant's wife cannot sleep, what does she say? "Darling, could you tell me about your work." Why accountants don't read novels? Because the only numbers in them are page numbers.

No - I'm in western NY and there is no such ordinance in my town. I will take your sign though! thanks. I again spoke to the manager and wrote a formal complaint to the manager of the building as well as the actually owner of the building. He has told them on numerous occasions, but as soon as no one's paying attention, they are back out there. UGH.

I moved into this new place (not new - old place actually) in the fall of 2015. So this will mark 4 years in September so I feel that I'm "established" here. In April some new people moved into the apartment upstairs. It's a fairly small apartment and there are 4 of them, which includes a toddler and a baby. In the front, where you approach my door, their door is right next to mine. There a small exterior alcove there as you enter, where the mailboxes are mounted, and where I have a rug to catch some winter mud. But it's not really a very big spot. And these people are in it all the time. Smoking there cigarettes and vapes. They put the baby in a stroller that sits at the very bottom of the stairs just inside their door and they sit out there and smoke. I AM SO ANNOYED! I have said something to the landlord twice. And each time I thought the problem was fixed. But after a few days, they are right back out there again. They are not real loud or obnoxious. They are not friendly. But they just stand around or sit around and smoke. Let alone the butts in the flower/tree area near the street. UGH! I don't know what to do about this one. I don't want to be a total jerk, but - come on!

you can order it from IRS pub 5341

NYS Taxpayer has ins thru NYS dept of health. We have no idea what his log in credentials are, and due to all the laws on privacy these days, cannot access his stuff. He was single, no wife, no kids, so no one was involved who would know. Recently received the IRS letter looking for 1095 A and 8962. So - not sure what to do on this one. I will send letter to NYS with executor's signature on it. Not sure if they will help or not. Does the IRS get the 1095A - can they help themselves with this? Just sick of summer notices.....

okay - not really the response I thought I would get, but makes sense.

got it sorted out. thanks for your input!

Young taxpayer has idea for game. Young friend of taxpayer writes code. (under 20 - adults, but young). They haven't structured anything yet, and haven't decided on partnership or contract. I'm absolutely clueless how this industry works. I hate partnerships, so I would have them create a sub-s if "partnering " is what they do. Otherwise, I guess I don't know if the tech person contracts with the idea person and then takes royalties? Or does the idea person take royalties. This is all kinda interesting, but looking for anyone's input as to structuring this.

And when I call him out on it - I won't get any more work from him.

I have a feeling the attorney included them for personal reasons (aka: his fee)

she had actually inherited it from her aunt. The account is labeled "Jane Smith TOD", then her address. But it does not have her brother's name on it, who inherited it from her.

If the deceased had set up a beneficiary who would immediately take Ameriprise stock assets upon her death, then should those stock assets be included in her estate?

I have 3 990s and 1 1040 that I cannot get thru. Keeps getting rejected by EFC. Says I need to update forms. They are, they have been repeatedly. I have been trying to submit them for the last 3 days.

I just went to the post office with the extensions. .....in the rain.......boo

I have 3 efiles I am trying to get thru for 990s due tomorrow. I have been trying to efile them every since CCH ATX got efile back online. They keep giving me the error that the efiles were created after a program update. I have requested new program updates, I have resaved files, I have re-created efiles. Multiple times. With computer restarts, with removal of efile forms. I have exhausted all ideas. Can anyone advise what to do?

Unfortunately the spouse died while waiting for the refund check, so there was already a form filed asking for a check. However, my secretary ran into a similar problem and the direct deposit would not go thru either.

have you tried working with a taxpayer advocate?

I think I read some time ago that the IRS will no longer have the authority to pursue this tax. I have not had any clients in the situation until now, so haven't needed to know for sure. Does anyone know for sure or have reference.
