  1. I am going to try the reset, my printer stopped printing because the toner was low, however I never notice any fading like my hp. Update: It did work, I will use this sucker until I get the last dust of toner out of it.
  2. My new brother printer came with a toner for 3000 prints, it's been only a month and I had to replace it this morning. I called Brother and found out that the toner can print up 3000 prints only if you print a couple of lines per page, as you know tax returns are full page, so I only get 2,300 pages out of it
  3. I always find it funny when a client says what do you want, or I had one say to me once let me holla back at you, translation let me call you back when I am not busy, my time is more important than yours.
  4. Maybe they misinterpreted a cup of Joe with a cup of snow?
  5. It seems Americans enjoy coffee made out of snow. http://youtu.be/0VgW8lyCkaU
  6. "Is it true I can deduct the cost of my lottery tickets?'

  8. Hello all, just wondering if someone has a letter they can share to send to clients to remind them to send an amount with their extension, this year I don't want to call anybody any longer to remind them (sent them organizers, follow up emails...), I will send them a letter and let them take care it. PM me if you have something you can share. Thanks MAS
  9. "If a new prospect wants me to quote a price over the phone without reviewing their return or docs, I tell them to call their doctor or dentis and say they are in pain and how much it will cost to fix it?? Most get the hint and those that don't I do NOT want them as clients." I am going to steal this from you and use it for phone quote clients
  10. charge them extra
  11. Looks like ATX is FIXED! Isn't April fools next month?
  12. A man entered a barbershop and asked for a shave. After the shave, the barber said, "That will be a quarter, please." "But," said the man, "Your sign says two bucks for a shave. How come only a quarter?" The barber answered, "Once in a awhile we get a guy that is all mouth and we only charge him twenty-five cents!"
  13. Don't hair dresser give tax advice? LOL

    Extensions

    The only extensions I'll be doing are for my hair I will probably wait to April 2 to do my clients.
  15. I have new client, he brought in prior year copies and I notice his Sch E had some wild expenses in the past, I question him and he said honestly he didn't know about them, now that I started working on inputting the fixed assets, I notice mostly all improvements appear to be outrageous and I am afraid they were also over stated. He has been going to the same lady for the past 11 years and I could tell she been using Turbo Tax, because the returns are self-prepared and some supporting statements are computerized. I really don't want to touch it now, but I did tell him that I would not allow any expenses he didn't have to be deducted and he was okay with doing them correctly, I would hate having to amend returns to remove expenses and correct fixed assets.
  16. April 20 Disneyworld, where kid can be a kid
  17. Just wondering in the 4K he paid, was the deductible included? And for others how would the deductible be accounted for or not?
  18. I wish I would told them, I also don't agree with my utility, cellular company etc... But I have to pay them
  19. Today I had a TP that didn't agree on my fees this year, without hesitation I told them I don't mind if you go somewhere else, here are your papers back, and I proud of myself I didn't back out of the price .

    SFA please share what happened to your system the caused these files to get corrupted? I don't understand how this happened.
  21. From experience there is no simple way to print from websites, you always get unwanted pages, images and so forth, best way to print is to highlight, copy and paste to Word, works every time.

    You say cloud, who is hosting it?
  23. Now how many of your clients hire a cost segregation company to know what is the unused basis or know the basis of the roof that came with the house they bought?
  24. Court case Northen v. Commissioner, T.C. Summary 2003-113 (8/13/03) The Tax Court held that the cost of repairing the roof is deductible. She did not intend to prolong the life of the property, increase its value, or make it adaptable to another use. Expenditures incurred as part of a general plan of reconditioning, renovating, improving, or altering business property are capital expenditures, even though certain portions of the work, considered alone, might be classified as repairs. Regs. Sec. 1.162-4. Repairs.
