cfncpa Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Anyone know? I've searched a few times and can find no answer why they aren't out yet. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don in Upstate NY Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 They are on the IRS web site http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040es.pdf and available in at least one competitor's (TaxAct) software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfncpa Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Thanks Don but I need the 1041es for Trusts. I am concerned that maybe the IRS has discontinued them forcing us to use EFTPS. If so, some of my elderly Trustee clients will be in trouble not being on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don in Upstate NY Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Oops. Sorry. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 They are not yet available on the IRS site either, but there is nothing in the 1041 instructions about requiring that they be filed electronically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I thought I read an e-news alert about Tuesday when all forms could b filed that they are ready, but I can't find where I read it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I have a couple of trusts I did in Drake and those claim they are e-file ready (I just don't have the trustee's signature yet). (For the most part I'm still plugging away with ATX as I still really prefer it, but I've had a couple returns in ATX that cannot be printed, e-filed, etc., without crashing the program and those I have replicated and e-filed from Drake. Hate the format but it gets things _done_ and off my "undone" list.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail in Virginia Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I have e-filed a 1041 already using ATX, however, I did not have to worry about estimates and I believe that was what the OP was about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfncpa Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Correct. I do not efile, and am inquiring about the paper tax estimate vouichers. I dont think this is an ATX issue, it appears the IRS doesn't have them out yet meaning they are not yet approved. Strange because they are so similar to the 1040es. I dont get why the holdup from the IRS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail in Virginia Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Apparently the find other things more crucial, even though it looks like this would be a simple thing to get out of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfncpa Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I could probably use the 2011 program and edit the form for 2012 and address. Doesn't look like you are able to do any of that with tis new junk software. I love the old ATX format. That is what lured my firm to exclusively use ATX back in the mid 1990s. It was spreadsheet based and we could alter it, make notes in margin, etc. We had full control and it was a darn useful feature. Bye bye to the good ole days..........

cfncpa Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Bump... Can anyone at ATX look this up and let us know when to expect them? I'm getting nowhere googling this topic. No one seems to know what's going on. Thanks for any help you can provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Doubt if anyone at ATX ever looks at this unofficial forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
