Is the deduction showing up on line 10b? We had a topic posted back on 1/25 where users reported that the deduction wasn't appearing, and a program update took care of correcting that.

The worksheet is actually asking for an EIN of (one of) the payer(s), but if you don't have that, have more than one, and especially since the worksheet is NOT sent with the e-filing, I'd suggest just entering all zeroes and move on through the processing.

Anything related to normal maintenance or repair type items, to fix or maintain its condition, haven't been deductible or included in selling expenses since the Tax Relief Act of 1997.

Only those costs that would be considered a capital improvement can be added to the basis of this investment property. Other expenditures that are of the nature of repairs, maintenance, or fixing up aren't deductible and are not additions to basis.

Nothing, if it gets rid of the error, but in some cases people are still having problems with this and ATX's own solution in the error says that entering all zeroes is OK, and we now have 5 separate topics on this very worksheet. This shouldn't even be a required entry since the worksheets aren't transmitted with the e-file anyway. If it were me, I'd enter all zeroes every time and move on.

Try entering all zeroes on the Fed W/H worksheet.

From the NJ1040 instructions:

It seems that ATX needs to update this, so it's a common problem to that particular worksheet.

Please see this topic on the same subject.

It was discussed recently in this topic:

Not touching the FBAR and do as Lynn and John described above.

Downdetector and other social media sites have noted the problem, so it's not just you. https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/nation-world/social-security-website-down-users-report-issues/507-8660fd87-c10e-4bdd-95c6-8287df36f7fa

I believe you will have to wait until the 12th. IRS MeF operational status shows Production Status as "Operational" but for business returns only. https://www.marketingexpress.irs.gov/systems-status/system-status-mef/modernized-efile-mef-operational-status

To be clear for anyone else reading this that didn't see my other topic, the IRS still has the combined Fed/State filing in place for all the forms that it had in past years but has NOT included the 1099-NEC yet. So for anyone filing other 1099s, for example for INT, DIV or MISC, those would be transmitted to the state(s) if that state participates in the IRS combined filing program.

QB may not allow for a 2nd 1096/1099 set once processed, but an online provider should. For the out-of-state resident, if the income was earned in a state other than CT, you can fill in boxes 5 through 7, and it certainly wouldn't hurt to send it to CT anyway to document that that IC isn't subject to CT income tax or filing if that is the case. That being said, be sure that your client is in compliance with the other state in case the other state would consider that payment has doing business in the other state. Plus, I think Margaret gave the solution while I was slowly typing away! lol

IRS uses the first 4 letters of the last name, so you can truncate it to allow the e-file to process. Just explain to your client the reason why.

In case anyone is not aware: the IRS has NOT included the 1099-NEC in the combined Fed/State filing program, meaning that a separate filing is needed to send these to the state(s). EDITED TO CLARIFY: In case anyone is not aware: the IRS has NOT included the 1099-NEC in the combined Fed/State filing program, so if your state requires these forms and your state participates in the combined filing program for other forms, a separate filing is needed to send these 1099-NECs to the state(s). You will have to check with your state(s) to verify what the acceptable method of transmission is.

This is a requirement of the IRS that the authentication must occur each time a connection to the software is made, so this isn't a problem or limitation specific to Drake. Once logged out of the software or portal, Drake has no way of knowing that it is you again on the other end of the process without you providing all of the log in credentials including the username, password, and the MFA code. It has been optional for the last 2 years and is now a requirement for this year.

I see what happened. PPP title of a post with the same dialog from Monday about not being able to print W-2s where that text had been retained by the forum and posted into your new post in error. I'm deleting it now.

Under the three dots in the upper right corner, do you have a "hide" function? It may not be there if it is the post that created the topic. In that case, I may have to delete it for you. Posters always have the option of hiding their own subsequent posts within a topic. Which post are you trying to delete?

Looks like ATX needs to gray that box because SSA doesn't have an EIN as far as I know, so there's nothing that could be entered there.

Editing is still allowed for 5 minutes after a post is made. This change was made a couple of years ago after someone here kept going back and changing their posts after I'd responded to them, making it seem like they'd never said what they'd said and making my responses to an issue seem like I was making things up that had actually been said. If anyone sees something drastically wrong with their own post, everyone still has the ability to hide their own posts in their entirety and are able to post a correct response. Those hidden posts are still visible to Eric and I but not to the general membership. The limits on editing, and allowing hiding but not deleting posts, allows Eric and I to see the actual posts as they occur.

IRA contribution is calc'd using W-2 box 1 minus box 11. It sounds like your S corp W-2 has only the health insurance in box 1 and no actual wages were paid, and therefore boxes 3 and 5 are zero. Is that correct? If that is the case, no SEHI would be allowed because the medicare wages from the S corp are -0-, but I do think that the IRA contribution would be deductible.

@NECPA in NEBRASKA I'm so sorry for the hard road ahead that you and your family are facing. I'll keep you all in my prayers, and please know that we are here to offer support and guidance.

Hi Jim, and welcome to the forum. I doubt any of our members will be able to help with your issue as this is a site for ATX software users, although some long-time members, me included, have moved to other providers but remain active for questions other than software.
