ILLMAS

It seems like my PC is 24/7 downloading window updates and has been sluggish for the past weeks, I have to restart/shut down a couple of times a day, can anyone recommend what I should check for?  It’s driving me nuts 

Thanks

I can also hear the fan or drive over working.

Is anyone experiencing problems with ProSeries at the moment?

I would say within a year or so.

Agency already received a first time penalty abatement, has anyone been successful in requesting a second one?

Thanks

A check

Having everything in someone's cloud makes me nervous.  I still want a little hard piece of plastic and metal to back up on.  Need to find out how much access google has to your info.  My google knows when I sneeze.  What will my google cloud know?

Good point, the IT person I spoke told me something that is probably common sense but one is not aware of it because IT is not my forte, he said me, how would I restore a backup if my office was to burn down?  I was like from external drive Hard drive  connected to my computer....  Then I got his message.

Is anybody using Google Cloud to backup their computers?  I just found out from an IT person, that Google offers inexpensive packages.

You may want to contact a catholic cemetery to how they do it.

Just don't forget your annual Ethics, Terry.  It does get old.  My best Ethics course was taught by an IRS agent who started the meeting with "I know I'm preaching to the choir."  Second best didn't use a text but scenarios used for class participation.  Worst was one presented by Karen Hawkins, then head of OPR, who literally spent the two hours reading us Circular 230 and making it clear that all tax professionals are dishonest and will be penalized.

Wow it sounds like she has no compassion for tax preparers.

I was not aware of this and someone may correct me if I am wrong, but a couple of years ago a client sent me a Google sheet file via the drive, I clicked on the link and notice I could see all their folders.  I called  and notified them and mentioned they forgot to give access to that just one file.  This why I don’t use it.

Yes - the changes to EFTPS IDme stuff has been beaten to death here.  But, let me just bring it up one more time.  Because I cannot figure out how to make a payment for a client that is a business.  When I log in it only shows my EIN and my name.  How do I add more businesses to my account?  

I here is how I do it, I go EFTPS, click on make payment, then it takes to Login.gov, my information automatically appears, I request for the code to be sent by text, I enter the code, takes me back to EFTPS website, I again click on make payment, then I enter my clients FEIN, PIN and password and I am in.

Not sure. What would be logical is the other party has to add you.

I sent you a PM.

For those that sometimes work from home but connect to their office computer, may I ask what program do you use to connect? 

Thanks 

I believe he would need to buy new land to qualify.

I did the Auburn University's tax seminar in person a couple weeks ago.   I was impressed, and the price was great.   Printing a 650 page book was a workout for my printer, but it was cheaper than buying the book.

Time to invest in an Ipad or a notebook computer, you can even write notes on pdf documents.

Also look into Peachtree, same as QB and probably less expensive.

If you can avoid QBO to setup a new company please do so, create it on the desktop version and just convert it to online.

I never heard of queen until the movie Wayne’s World came out.

Why not raise your fees, restaurants in my area are charging 3.75% if you pay with a credit card.  

Why did this come to mind?

I need to get my mind out of the gutter when I read the topic  

Does anyone know how soon can a TP make an installment agreement after e-filing?

Thanks

In my city you have access to an array of different meat tacos that may gross you out, but if you can stomach Taco Bell you should be okay.  Here is what you are missing out on:

Tongue, cheeks, brains, eyes, lips, intestines, tail, pig snout, feet and ears, blood sausage (has a similar look to Taco Bell’s seasoned meat), utter, chicken head, heart, gizzards and feets.

These are some of the ones I can remember and the only ones I have tried are tongue tacos.

It was just a hypothetical example only.

Thank you everyone.
