ILLMAS

I hate when this happens, I sometimes tell my clients, help me help you.

Thanks

Does anyone know if one can prepare a consolidated tax return on ATX? Thanks

Yes unreimbursement but for 2017.

Your thoughts one this one.... 1. TP works for a IT company that has no fiscal offices in the US, so the TP uses their home as an office. 2. Employer office is in Tokyo, but has US corporation to conduct business here. 3. Employer has a government contract which requires the TP to troubleshoot over the phone/remotely or travel to the base which is 40+ miles each way. 4. Not everything can be done over the phone/remotely all the time, so travel is required about 80% of the time. Can the TP deduct mileage even though TP is required to be at base most of the time? Thanks

I was there, what a fun seminar.

I had no problem so far, I don’t duplicate 941’s per se, I duplicate the client, I name each file something like this: Abc 1st qtr abc 2nd qtr etc... I am not in the office to check which 4 letter code you are referring to.

wow

Please have your accountant call this number 800-739-9998.

I have a question, if you are apart time resident of CA, doesn’t CA treat you as a full time residence anyway?

Thank you, everyone for your concerns, I really appreciate it Just to clear up "my help wasn't needed", I had initially wrote a letter to the IRS and attached a copy of the documents the TP had brought in, this was in January 2017, in March 2017, TP received a letter denying it again. I called the IRS and was told they needed a copy of the lease and a complete copy of the divorce decree, mind you this was during the busy season for me, TP said they would just fax it to a number I was given and I had no problem with it. I didn't hear from the TP until July 2018 to prepare 2017 and to give me an update of their case. During the time I didn't hear from the TP, they received another deny letter and the TP called and was told to fax over bank statements, after that, TP was receiving "we are reviewing your account" letters.

I don't even know where to start, TP was denied HOH, dependency exemption and EIC for 2015, we responded by submitting a couple of items on from the 886-HOH/EIC list, but was denied again because the TP had not sent a copy of the prior lease and a complete copy of the divorce decree, TP had moved and had lost her copy of the lease. Anyway, TP said they would handle the rest since they only needed a copy of the prior lease and my help wasn't needed, in the back and forth correspondence, the TP was asked to fax them a copy of bank statements for 2015, however the statements had a different address from the address used on the tax return. Frustrated the client return back to my office and when I called the IRS, they told me the TP case had been closed because her addresses didn't match, I asked the TP why they were different address used and the response was that any important mail is to be delivered to TP children grandmother and any non-important mail to TP home address. Now to make things more confusing, the tax return address is the home of TP kids grandparents, however there is no relationship between the children TP is claiming, they are the grandparents of prior children TP had and grandparents have custody of those children which are not being claimed on TP tax return. I am thinking of writing a letter on behalf of the TP to reconsider, however, this situation is so confusing I don't know if the IRS would believe it. Your thoughts, opinion etc... is it worth going through all this trouble

No, it's the tip portion the waitresses received that is not being reported on the tax return, 941's & W3/W2's match, just the wages are under reported on the tax return significantly.

Is there any instances where W3/W2 box 1 wages shouldn't tie to a tax return (officer/wages)? I reviewed a tax return and the wages on the 1120 are less than box 1 of the W3/W2, according to the TP, he was told he is not supposed to report tips because it's not his expense. This was not a self-prepared return, he paid someone to prepare it.

Problem solved. Solution: 1. Duplicate tax return. 2. Recreate efile. 3. Transmit Return was accepted within an hour.

I submitted a return back in April it's still in the processing of being transmitted, TP called last me week to find out what ever happened to their refund.

What is the process again, when a return is stuck?

You are right

Look into Costo and Samsclub, someone they have the XPS on sale.

I believe I goofed on checking off spouses second job W-2 as "spouse" and the excessive payment of medicare was applied towards the husband. Can one request a first time penalty abatement? Thanks

Could it be that the auditor is trying to figure out where the "cash" came from, like under the mattress?

Whipper snapper bought a townhouse in a gated community for investment, didn't read the fine print (HOA bylaws) that the townhouse cannot be used as rental unit, townhouse has been empty for a while since the TP doesn't live in the state the property is located. What would be the proper way to handle the expenses (mortgage interest, property taxes, assessments etc....) expense or capitalize? Thanks MAS
