I think that is the number SSA assigns you when register to submit W-3 & w-2 via accuwage.

"Stupid EITC requests....paying mtges with $20,000 interest ....with 3 kids....on incomes of $10,000. From what I understand the business accountant is doing their personal returns." Me and you think the same way, I am always left wondering how they do it

Nope, ATX 2013 Server does not appear on my files, unless it's a hidden file.

Can someone share which is the folder to check?

ATX 2013 gave me a low resource message when I tried opening a second return, I have opened up to three returns without any problem before, has anyone else experienced this lately? Thanks MAS

Does anyone here take a mini vacation during tax season?

I have to share this with my accountant friends.

Every time my wife is having a hard time falling asleep, she leans over asks me "Tell about work today, honey".

Paper file my friend, I have had the same problem since 2005 for a couple. Don't forget you will need to include form (8948) when paper filing a return. MAS

Have you tried restarting the computer, sometimes a simple restart releases files.

Dom and Dommer are twin brothers, Dom bought a delivery route 10yrs ago for 200K (was never amortized), since Dom did not have the 200K, Dommer gave him part of the money after he took out a loan on his house. Throughout the years the one single route became three, Dom was in charge of route 1, Dommer route 2 and Harry route 3, Harry asked Dom and Dommer if they would sell the third route to him, and they did, they sold it for 120K, for the past years Dom reports 100% of the revenue and expenses and then gives a 1099 to Dommer and Harry for their route. Dom and Dommer did not consult with their attorney or accountant and took it upon themselves to make the sale. Dom received a payment from Harry for the 120K, Dom kept 50K and gave 70K to Dommer, now here is my question, since Dom has always reported 100% of the revenue and expenses, does Dom need to report 100% sale his tax return or he reports 41% and Dommer 59%? Also how would the 70K to reported to Dommer, expense of sale? Thanks MAS

IRS Issues Tax Ruling on Settlement Payments to Borrowers Update: 01-22-14 The tax consequences of payments received under the National Mortgage settlement (NMS) depend on the unique facts and circumstances of each individual borrower. The NMS Monitoring Committee proactively sought a ruling from the IRS to provide guidance regarding the taxable status of these payments. IRS Ruling 2014-2 can be viewed here: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/rr-14-02.pdf. The Monitoring Committee will not issue any tax forms (including a Form 1099), and your payment will not be reported to the IRS or other tax authorities. However, you should consult with your tax advisor to determine whether the payment is taxable income in your specific situation. The Settlement Administrator and the Attorneys General offices are not able to provide tax advice.

Maybe there has been advances in technology since the last time I tried converting QB Mac to QB PC, but it ended up in a total mess. You have nothing to lose in your case, except if your client buys QB 2014 for Mac, you will have to the same for PC. I am Mac guy, I run XP, WIN7, various versions/years of QB and ATX without a problem since 2008. I would highly recommend QB online for basic accounting or cloud9realtime QB hosting, see the link below. http://www.cloud9realtime.com/ Prepare a file for conversion from QuickBooks for Mac to QuickBooks for Windows The following versions of QuickBooks for Macintosh will convert to QuickBooks for Windows: Mac 2014 will convert to Windows 2014 Mac 2013 will convert to Windows 2013 Mac 2012 will convert to Windows 2012 Mac 2011 will convert to Windows 2011 Mac 2010 will convert to Windows 2010 Mac 2009 will convert to Windows 2009 Mac 2007 will convert to Windows 2007 and 2008 Mac 2006 will convert to Windows 2006 and 2007 Mac 2005 will convert to Windows 2005, 2006 and 2007 Mac 6.0 will convert to Windows 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 Mac 5.0 will convert to Windows 2003, 2004 and 2005

Maybe the IRS auditor was an acupuncture, they are known to be back stabbers or maybe he wanted to keep him in-line

How does the IRS see Goodwill? People can play with goodwill allocation.

Problem solved, if you are having trouble with this form, just recreate the client and now everything flows accordingly. MAS

So you are not using ATX right? I prepared the same return in Proseries without a problem too, but it's not my software so I have to stick to ATX.
