ILLMAS

Ok that kind of worked, but now I cannot see the returns I have already prepared, it seem it was a clean install on the second PC. I see it was installed as a workstation when I ran netsetup, just wondering if I need to change a path to link the database or whatever they call it for 2012.

Has anyone had any luck setting up another pc via netsetup? I am able to run through the process however the ATX2012 icon is not linked to path of the main pc. I am following the same procedures like in prior years, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I am in IL and it's available. Try this, close out ATX2012, shut down your PC, restart it, open ATX2012, let it update automatically, then go again to preference and see if IL is check off. I did this last week and there were about 70 forms available for IL.

Advice - Don't pay for clients that don't come back, some of them don't like change, some feel offended or betrayed that some unknown person is doing their taxes or handling their records and tend to go somewhere else. Those are the clients you don't want to pay for.

Did you get a chance to see the PM I sent you?

Who remembers this court case? Taxpayer did not have substantial information at the time of filing, I wonder if subtantial information means having a SSN, authorized to work etc... during the tax year.

You are probably still working on an XP machine, once you upgrade to WIN7 you will have a lot of problems with older printers. You can't go wrong getting another HP laser jet printer, any pro series model is good, you can get 35 ppm printer for under $400-$500.

Perfect you said the magic word "attach it", but it's weird you don't need to click attach to the federal and state letter, it does it automatically.

1. Go to preferences 2. Upates 3. Mark sure your states form updates is checked. (scroll down) 4. If you need all states, do this update at the end of the day This is the reason why we are seeing the form is available now, but it's not downloading automatically, this should resolve the issue. MAS

Anyone with success being able print a cover letter please share how you did it? I imported the template, edited and previewed it many times over but I cannot find a way to make it print. I am able to add the federal and state template without a problem and also print it, but no luck with cover letter. Any help will due. thanks

I see what you are talking about, but for some reason it doesn't flow to the clients return nor do I have the option to print. FYI you need to add some queries in order to get to appear like last year, best bet is to print a prior year cover letter and use it as a sample for 2012.

Same here imported file and I cannot get to load anywhere?

Yes first you need to request a copy of prior years of ATX program, them have the old firm export the selected clients, put them on a cd or USB drive, them import them to appropriate year. For example if you only need 2011 records, then install ATX2011 import them, then roll over to 2102. MAS

What documents did you request for him/her to support form 8867 if any? I was looking at the form, I have a similar client like yours, but it seems it's for taxpayer with kids, disable or Sch C income that qualifies them for EIC.

Which form or how do I get it? Thanks

For client copy, first page has the taxpayer name year and on the bottom the firms name, my program is only printing what would be page 2 in prior years. Marco

Howdy, how does one print out the cover letters for federal and state letters? Can't figure this out, I am afraind I won't be albe to use 400+ tax envelopes

In the past I would install ATX as a stand alone, then I would map a drive and run Netsetup to install it on another computer. I see ATX2012 has Netsetup, however I am afraid with everything that is going on with the program, that it might not work. Has anyone had any problems installing ATX on another computer using Netsetup, I don't have a server so mapping the drive will be only way on a WIN 7 machine for me. Any tips? Thanks MAS

I think we are screwed, just notice the IDR was dated back in early 2012, the prior agent never gave us a copy, TP never received a copy nor did she ever requested information for 2007 & 2008. We dealt most of 2011 and 2012 dealing with 2006 issues, we didn't agree with the changes, requested to be sent to appeals and now we get this. This is very shady on their part, the IDR is almost a year old, and it was sent to us barely last week.

Hello Rita, try to completely shut down your PC and restart it, sometimes files remain opened in the background even though you have closed the program.

Wondering if someone here has some experience with the appeals process. TP did not agree with the IRS changes for 2006 so the case was referred to appeals, a couple of months later a new agents sends out an IDR to examine 2007 & 2008, I am wondering if this is a normal process, when 2006 has not been resolved? Also if you can point to me to some reference material, I would really apprecaited, I am doing research for my associated. Thanks MAS

Just wondering, if you installed the software as network, instead of stand alone? When you intially install it, you get two options, stand alone or network, I am asking this because I installed it as stand alone on mine, however I need to add another computer soon. I might have to reinstall it as a network? MAS

Please tells us more, I would be interested in Prosystems FX. MAS
