I have had the program shut down (with that weird long error message that someone posted earlier) 3 times since installing 12.13. (had stayed at 12.10 prior to the update) All 3 times, all information I had entered into the return was lost; autosave did not kick in.

I have checked it and rechecked it and still can't figure it out. I have tried deleting the assets and re-entering them. I can't override on form 4797 because the software won't let me. I have tried forcing section III and it won't let me do that either. I really cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Aaaargh!

My Mom is here this weekend (for the third time since tax season started) - she has done all my laundry since 15 February. I just save it up (by default). I used to feel guilty about it, but when my 7 year old became concerned that he wasn't going to have anything to wear, i got over it. I bought her a purse, took her to get her nails done, and piled up my laundry .

No. Long-term.

I have a client who sold 2 rental houses. I have indicated the same and input all the relevant data in the 'disposition' tab on fixed assets. The first property is flowing through on 4797 Part III as appropriate. The 2nd property is flowing through part 1, which is limiting the loss, and I can't get it to move to column B on Part III. Anyone had a problem like this? Thanks! d

Just finished a 61 page return. Came back after dinner and this is the only return I've gotten done .

JASDLM is Doni. I feel like I've known everyone on this forum for 10 years . . . High time to be on a first name basis . I realize someone could google and find my name. Oh well.

Thanks much!

I have to paper file a NY return because my client died during the year (leaving surviving spouse). Also, because it is the only NY return I have (client lives in NJ so non-resident return) and I don't have a NY Efiling number. Do I need to send a paper copy of the Federal with the NY? Thanks!

Thanks for the reminder, windmill! Just went on and made a donation because I don't trust myself to remember after the season. Eric, I can't thank you enough.

I have had this happen. For me, if I closed the software on all computers, opened the return on the computer that could open it, saved it, shut the program. Reopened the program on the other computer and reopened the return, it worked. Good luck!

I still say 'bunny hop' to the 1099 entry screen, etc. I do miss last year's software!

That took me 3 hours to do. I'm so frustrated. 3 states - 16 W2s - self employment; two 2106s - new client. Aaargh! I'm venting here because there's nothing else I can do. Thanks for listening.

That's fantastic! What a great way to start April.

I miss the picture of the dog lying on its back for the 'rollover' - now just a boring envelope with blue arrows.

WITaxlady - yes, that has happened to me just in the last few days. Rebooting my computer seems to help a bit.

I have never looked on the other board. Are there updates posted by staff or something?

I just emailed a client for 3 missing 1099s and she immediately scanned them back to me, so I know she knew she had them. Why didn't I have them??? What is the logic there?

I just re-did a return for the 3rd time because the client keeps 'forgetting' to tell me things - like thousands of dollars in income that he forgot to include in his documents. At least he's honest. Recognized that his 'amount due' was too low. Sheesh.

I know I'm being dense, but I can't come up with what RSU stands for .

My husband is off chasing the Jayhawks (Rock Chalk Jayhawk Go KU! - Bart, back me up here.) I am doing taxes all weekend, but I will take time to dye eggs with my 7 year old son tomorrow night, enjoy the Easter bunny with him in the morning, and take him to Church (he is very excited about his new suit). Go Hawks!

Would someone please confirm that the entire amount (less employee contributions amortized over life expectancy) reported on form RRB-1099-R goes on Line 16b? I'm really confused about the RR Retirement. Everything I read indicates there is Tier I and Tier II. I thought Tier I was akin to SS. Why isn't part of the benefit sent through on a RRB-1099 instead of an RRB-1099-R? Seems like this guy doesn't get the 15% break on part of the income (85% taxable) that he would get if he had an RRB-1099. Sorry. First Railroad Retirement Client. Thanks for any clarification.

Expired or exercised?

I didn't think they would charge the 'return' penalty given that the tax has already been paid. Agree completely if the tax was still due and owing. You might be right . . . I just hate to see the client out the money twice for 7 or 8 weeks.
