rick in cal Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 I'm having trouble efiling an scorp. It says form 2553 must be attached and to get it from the E-FILE menu and select Attachment for 1120/990/1065. I have a 2553 opened and filed out and I've tried deleting it and starting over but the program still doesn't recognize it. I also don't see any attachment in the E-FILE menu.

imjulier Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Is this the first year the corp is electing to be treated as an s-corp? And if so, is form 2553 required or was it already filed? Check the box for from 2553 appropriately rtowrds the top of the 1120S. If form 2553 required, I've always sent mine hardcopy becasue signatures are required. Then in 2nd year I e-file. By the way, are you signed up to e-file business returns?

Julie Thanks Julie,The 2553 form was not required but the program kept insisting it was and opening it. The second time I closed and reopened the program it fixed itself. Too bad because I was soooo looking forward to dealing with support on Tuesday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 What a tease you are, rick in cal! You could still call and, by the time you get connected with someone, there will surely be another question you can ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I really like your idea of prophylactic support calls, so that by the time I have a question, tech support might be close to answering my call. That would save a lot of time! I could just call in every morning and put it on speaker while I work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick in cal Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 The worst part of it all is CCH knows the support WE PAY FOR is ridiculously lacking and they have no intention of fixing the problem. They have taken an excellent software (ATX) and turned it into a mediocre investment with greed and higher profits as their motive. Other than the ATX tax program I make it a point to buy nothing from the parent company I can buy from someone else no matter what the price. If we do that and they feel their profits are being affected they would improve their support by adding additional staff. Not because they care one iota about their customers but because they care about their customers' wallets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
