Crank

Has anyone found a place to enter the percentage owned on Sch E for rental RE in Taxwise? I cant find it and think I may have to make the calculaltions manually.

Ditto. Doug I stuck with you and your product until the end of January 2013 when I couldnt wait any longer without risking my reputation, business & clients I was forced to purchase another tax software product. I sent a refund request to you last week. Cust ID: 286447

I sent my refund request email to Doug and the Cust Service email address with a read receipt ack. Doug didnt send it back but customer service did ack. Thats good enough for me.

Im using Main St On Main Street Tax Solutions version of Taxwise go to the "client Login" Tab then the "Downloads" link to see downlaod available.

Yes, its different than TaxWorks & ATX that I was used to but it appears do to the job even if a few extra key storkes and clue hunting are required to compete a return. Would it be my first choice, probably not, I really liked the previous versions of TaxWorks best, but it will do the job for this season. Who know what next season will hold.

Like the song says "You've got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away and know when to run"... that was last week. 1/30 to be exact.

Available yes, but probably not functional.

Uggg. brings back memories of TRX earlier this month. I efiled my first today and it was different that what I was used to. Fed came back quick then State had to be sent...still waiting on it.

Taxwise (MainStreet) updated the business modules automatically for me today. I didnt know it could do that.

Thanks. Yes Im aware of that.

Thank you! I must be tired. I thought they were calculated fields. It would help if calculated fields were color coded differently.

I think everyone on here has seen this at least 10 time already. Enough!

I have been having trouble getting tech support today at Main Street. Everytime I called I had to leave a message and still have not heard back from them after about 6 hours. What number is everyone calling? I have the number on their website 877-220-0193. I emailed the tech (Pam x024#) who helped with setup and I got a response that she will call me in a few minutes - that was a few hours ago. They were very responsive last week.

Can someone please tell me how to properly add section 179 property to form 4562? Ive entered it in the asset worksheet and checked that it qualifies for sec179 but it keeps applying depr.

You may be right. Or possibly this wasnt supposed to be the debut year for TaxExact .... who knows. But one thing is for sure, they caused a lot of problems for a lot of people. No one who got caught up in this mess will trust them again, thats for sure. I wonder if they will be around in one form or another next year?

I think what happened is TRXcouldnt find a reseller at a price they wanted. Redgear either upped the price from 2011 or pulled the plug on TRX as a reseller the same way ATX did in 2010. I think TRX thought it would get Redgear again for 2012 as they continued to say they were in negotiations as late as November 2012 or they thought they would ink a deal with another software provider. When that fell through they substituted TaxExact at the last minute and tried to keep things afloat.

Danwill, Spam much? Geez, he posted this to several threads here and in the ATX forum. Smells fishy.

The last time Doug (TRX1) logged into this board was friday february 1, 2013 @ 3am

CC has issued a temp credit and will finalize within 30 days pending review. They seemed very sympathetic. I have had the account for 19 years and the 1 or 2 disputes I have had in the past have been resolved in my favor. Next up, talking to the AGs and pursuing damages. Damn, during the busy season ...ugh

Taxed, thanks for the tips! Ive watched most of the training videos and they are very helpful too..

TaxOR, sorry to hear your having some issues with Taxwise. Ive found that setting up the basic forms and selections in the (master form defaults) saves a lot of time inputting repettive items. Of course the bank info not carrying in the proforma is a hassle. Most info ive seen has transfered. For printing, it is limited to filing copies, taxpayer coy, electronic documents but if there is anything you need that wasnt in the print job you can always print a selected form by right clicking on it, Not as efficient as checking which forms to print though I have only done efiles so I dont know what the form instructions look like on the mailed returns, but the efiles look acceptable to me. I havent had a return where basic name, ss havent flowed to fed, state & local forms. Havent done a bus return yet, but they are coming. I havent got to the point of needing to import items so it news to me. I have a few I could use that function with. Overall for $350 to save my butt this year and a quick learning curve Im satisfied. At least its a viable option with ATX and Taxworks not up to par. Next year is another story.

Useless? My drink fits just fine on the CD and it protects the finish on my desk. Of course I had to wait until update 4.0.0.23 for the furniture finish protection to function correctly.

Now those of the knid of posts weve been needing here. As for Mainstreet Tax Solutions Taxwise I am more than pleased. Once I got the hang of it I can breeze through. 10 returns almost out the door since yesterday. Very inutitive program. Hopefully the efiling will go just as smooth
