You might want to contact ATX directly for this, but I think it turns to be samething if you network you ATX, install ATX on the server any return you prepare on a workstation, the data is stored on the server, on the workstation you are simply using the software but the data is saved on the server.

I have printed it out, incase the date mysteriously changes to 04/15/11, you never know.

Yes, a special thanks to everyone on the forums and have a Happy Easter. Marco

Not worth looking into any further 15th or 18th, as they say "tough luck".

I have a client that hasn't filed in a couple of years, he qualifies for the EIC based on his income, I just want to make sure, he will need to file his 2007 today inorder for him to get the refund or is it 2008? My brain is not working today. Thanks and good luck to everyone, hope you had a very successful tax season!!!

I tell them please bring their (friends) copy to compare them and that shuts them up.

That happens a lot to me with my clients actually, however I am so freakin busy they do me a favor by not showing up or calling (takes to much of my time). I see this way, you need me, not the other way around.

Men, cheaters, no I do not believe that. Wait, we are talking about taxes right? LOL

I have QB 2006-2010 and I haven't had this problem at all. Have you tried shutting down the PC and starting back up, this usuallys release anything in the registry or try this program called Reg Clean, do a google search it's a free application. I made a correction to the name of the software, I have not used this software in such a long time that I forgot the name of it, but I looked it up and it is Reg Clean.

TP receives free health insurance from a union for daycare providers, at the of the year she receives a 1099, line 3 other income. In the past I would offset it on the 1040, in 2010 she incorporated and no longer is considered SE, would it make sense to report the cost of the insurance on the 1120S reducing income, and still report it on the 1040 as other income line 21.

Just attach a 7004 to the front of the federal tax return, has worked for many years. Remember you mailed out via regular mail on March 15, 2011, that's all.

If a dependent recieved unemployment compensation, would they sitll qualify as a dependent?

Just wondering how much are you paying for a gallon of gas? The lowest in my area is about $4.05 and the highest I have seen is $4.85, seriously considering going with a hybrid car. I wish I could just walk to work or hitch hike to work :)

TP bought a new car for business, last year she used her car about 85% of the time and we took 50% special allowance, this year she only used her car for 20% business and ATX triggered a recapture of excess depreciation, is this correct? If you take the special allowance in one year, you need to have about the same business use in order avoid the recapture? Thanks

TP recieved a K-1 for an IRA he was, but I was wondering when should this report? When he cashes out? I don't remember where I read this before, but from what I remember the K-1 are reported on TP tax return until they take a draw, can someone just confirm this. Thanks

Disney World late May or early June.

Today one of my client who is a sales rep for a pots and pan company asked me why she couldn't deduct business suits she buys to use for her presentation, she tells me that other reps do deduct it. So I asked her, if you were invited to a wedding, is this a suit you can wear to the wedding?? She is like no, I usually go very elagant to my friends and family weddings. Okay that answer is still NO.

Please pass this info on to anyone that is looking for a job, not the best job, but something is better then nothing. http://money.cnn.com/2011/04/04/news/companies/mcdonalds_jobs/index.htm?hpt=T2

Compensation to officer would be 100K line 12 Box 4&6 but only the portion matched by employer would be deducted On line 17 Marco

The 501©3 should have done all the research for you already, give them a call. Tell your client that the only way to support his contribution claim would be with a LETTER!

CRTL-ALT-DEL my friend or hold the power button on your PC or just unplug it.

Manny, your post helped me today.

Have you considered requesting an IRS transcript? You might be surprised in what you find. Worked for me, client moved to different states and never knew he was issued a 1099-C. Make sure to bill your client for the time you are going to spend and ask for a retainer. Clients think it just picking up the phone and someone answers and everything is resolved in seconds. I asked for two hours at my rate and it took 1:15 minutes from start to finish with transcripts faxed to me. MAS

This sounds like a good app, too bad AT&T iphone stinks when it comes to signal, I need to step out of my office to get good reception, would have to move my office to the parking lot in order to use it.

" How should I amend 2009, using his ITIN or SS#?" Manny, I would amend using his ITIN number and include the copies of the W-2's (with different SS#) as part of the corrected return. And pray that the IRS doesn't come back with a notice to have the taxpayers employer change the W-2's to reflect the ITIN. Had this happened with a client but everything was resolved without notifying the employer, TP was scared he was going to lose his job because his employer was not aware of his legal status. The other day I had to remind the state of IL that the ITIN was created for individuals to report under that number and pay whatever is owed.
