Sounds like a really good decision on your part!

Thanks, KC!

If I knew how to insert music notes, I would. ♪ ♬ 40 - Ten a day, and I'm finished on Sunday! WooHoo.

Yep. New law effective with 2013 tax year. They still have to file, however. House Bill 2117 A Kansas nonresident receiving income from Kansas sources must file a Kansas income tax return regardless of whether tax will be due. So a non-Kansas resident whose only source of Kansas income is from pass-through entity allocations exempt from Kansas income taxation still must file a Kansas nonresident individual income tax return Here's a link to a decent article to give you some backup information. http://www.bkd.com/articles/2012/kansas-legislation-means-significant-tax-changes.htm

My staff wanted to tell him to call 1-800-turbotax.

Rita, I might use up my 'likes' today with this thread!

jmdavis, if I could have given you 30 'likes', I would have!

One silly question . . . in order to create the efile, you have to enter the date signed. Weeks later, when they pick up and actually sign, all I know to do is reopen the return, enter a new date, and recreate the efile. Is there an easier way to change the 'signed' date that I haven't figured out yet? By this time in the season, even 5 or 10 minutes matters. Thanks.

Ditto

I really feel like I am losing it. Most recent phone call: "I am doing my own return in _________ software, but I need you to tell me where to enter 'X' and 'Y'." Seriously. As someone else said in an earlier post, 'you can't make this stuff up'.

Client came to pick up return. W2 income only. No deductions. Had substantially more income than last year but had less withholding. Is not getting the same refund as last year (really?). Will take return for a second opinion. I spent 20 minutes I didn't have explaining. I feel like I am either going to cry or scream. This is ridiculous.

Thank you SO much!

Kansas and Missouri

Sometimes I'm just not very bright . I get it now. Duh. Thanks, everyone, for your patient explanations. I really appreciate everyone on this Board.

Figures! I'm right in the middle of the biggest red dot!

That should have been a b ). I forgot the space. AAAARGH.

I am so confused about this. The guaranteed payments are part of the loss, so if you don't report them on line 17, aren't you deducting them twice? I might need to go a) back to bed or back to school. I NEVER knew what Judy posted about the loss being subtracted from SE income for General, Active partners who received actual guaranteed payments. Scares me to think about what else I don't even KNOW that I don't know.

If I create the State efiles, the Federal return that I created to file the single State returns are going to be attached. Is that correct?

I think I'm really tired. If there were $4,000 in guaranteed payments, how would the loss affect (effect?) the self-employment tax?

Is the capital account positive? If so, wouldn't you adjust it for any liabilities and then distribute what is remaining? What assets are left? I might be thinking about this way too simply.

Down - I can't do anything. The software is barking at me what 'an error was encountered while communicating with the ATX Server'. My IT person is telling me that AT&T is down across the country. He is trying to get me hooked up through someone who offices next door and whose internet which is with a different provider. Anyone else having problems with AT&T?

Line 50 of the 2013 form says minimum required distribution for 2013 and Line 51 says Amount actually distributed in 2013 which is why I reported it in the year it should have been taken - the form and instructions seem to read that way to me.I have to hope for the best, because I already did it.

Hope is what I've got right now .

I have a 1098 that I am positive someone took a bite out of. I have a 1099-SSA covered in orange (which the client was kind enough to label - 'this is squash', a W2 that has perhaps been run over a time or two, multiple documents with visible footprints, etc. Also, notes on the most random, odd-shaped scraps of paper ever. What gives!?!

Last year I had one, and I did efile the 5329 with the return. Hope it doesn't come back to haunt me. I haven't heard anything yet. I put the RMD on line 50, the amount distributed on line 51, bunny hop on Line 52 and request the amount of shortfall that the waiver is requested on. Write the explanation in the space provided. The penalty disappeared and efile went through with no problem. Filed the return this year with the amount in income (because it was taken in 2014) and no trouble yet there, either. Knock on wood.
