I don't see any problem with that arraigment. Most companies contract with a cleaning company and ask the company to send trusted employees to clean. All buildings do that. The cleaning company hire the people and they ARE employees to the cleaning company and the cleaning crew are at the disposition of the building manager, even though they have cleaning routine.

If I understand correctly, the manager of a building contracted your client to clean the building. Your client will hire an employee to do the actual work.

He doesn't have a choice, depreciation is taken where the vehicle is used the most.

How do you know that it is taxable? Did you ask the client about the details?

I have a client who moved to DC from MN in the middle of the year. Can I efile part year returns in MN? Any other credit that are special to MN? What forms do I need to file for part year residents? I noticed that if I open only the part year form, I don't get the efile form.

A computer qualifies but I believe you have to use mostly for school work. One computer every year might not be reasonable.

Mainly at the bar. I got only 3 from the IRS but I sent a couple yesterday and they went through.

I am pretty sure this will work. Create a state efile and send it by itself. Then go back to the federal filing and add form 5405 and print out and mail only the federal. Since form 5405 doesn't have anything to do with State filing, I don't think it should be a problem.

Am I the only one who got rejections yesterday?

I called the IRS and they said that there was a e-alert. She asked me if I was registered to e-alerts from the IRS. Is anyone registered or experienced the same problem?

If you get efile rejection code 29 stating that your ERO number is not recognize, don't panic. The IRS is working on it. Rejections happened yesterday.

Based on my understanding: If TP has ITIN, she/he does qualify for the $400. If two TPs file joint and both have ITINs, they don't qualify for the $800. If one of them has ITIN and the other has a valid SS#, they get $800 credit. That's the way I have been doing it and I hope that's the way the IRS is doing it too.

I am from DC and you need to file form D-40B. Make sure to fill out page 2. You pay taxes where you live regardless where you work if you live in DC, MD or VA. I would attach copy of the state VA filing when requesting the refund.

You should issue a 1099misc to the care giver.

Very interesting. I requested an ITIN today and software (even though I never entered a SS#) gave me the $400. I took it out. I have to verify because maybe the IRS changed the rules in the middle of the game. I know for fact that if one spouses has ITIN and the other has a valid for work SS card, they get $800. Honestly, they should give it to ITIN filers because the tables were changed across the board.

Why was he paid by Exxon? Was his body covered with black oil and he could work? Was he so sad to see that his blue sea was now black? Did he work cleaning up? Was he farm-raising whales and he lost his investment? The lack of 1099 doesn't mean he doesn't have to report it. If withholding was garnished, he cannot claim them on his return, unless he uses line 21 to re-report it.

Because I think the bank will give up on this person and cancel the debt.

How will you access it, from a microwave oven or from a TV? Jus kidding. My point is that you still have to deal with a computer to do your work regardless where your data or programs reside. AND don't let me start with your client's confidentiality...

Client received 1099-A but not a 1099-C yet. This was a rental property and when I dispose it from schedule E, I get a big loss and some depreciation. Property was repossed on Feb 10, 2009 and was not available for rent at any point in 2009 so decpreciation is not an option. Where should I report this transaction? I don't feel it is right to have a loss this year and next year have a 1099-C to deal with.

Wouldn't make any sense to report COD when a 1099-C is not received because the bank can take you to court a take some other assets from you or simply leave the possibility open for 3 years.

Close your eyes and buy a Windows 7 64 bit sytem. You will have no problems whatsoever. DON'T EVER compare Windows Vista with Windows 7 because Windows 7 is the best OS EVER. I am so happy to be using Windows 7 64 bit with 4gigs of RAM. It flies and my only problem is that I am too slow for the system.

He will be limited by defenition to 4K if he files MFS.

You need to be registered with NY in order to prepare a return for profit.

Is that famous "more than half of its own support" still valid for EIC in this case? I know it is for head of household.

My partner is not that bright. If I didn't efile, I bet you I would get federal retuns on State envelopes, missing w2s, two copies of the same w-2 sent to federal while missing a w-2, 1040 missing signatures, federal payments made out to state, etc. I am so happy that efiling is saving me.
