MAMalody Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 I can't seem to get the Form 2555 to pick up the income for line 19. Any hints. I tried using the tabs at the bottom to no avail (I am assuming I used them correctly). I can override the field, but, i don't like to do that. Oh yes, this is on ATX software, of course.

Mike Mike, On the W-2 be sure to indicate that it is to go to the 2555. Near the to of the W-2 entry screen there is place that says "Special Type" Just Select "To Form 2555" Hope that helps. Thanks jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike On the W-2 form input page at the top there is a drop down list called "Special Type (Wages)". Click on that and you can then find the "To Form 2555" that Jake told us about.

TAXBILLY Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 It seems that the ATX programmers sometimes make the forms harder to use with all of these bunny hops. I gave up on the one 2555 I do and just overrode the lines, although I hate to do that. taxbilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
