Which one? DC? It is so simple... https://does.dc.gov/service/start-your-unemployment-compensation-process this link if for 1099G for refund received from VA. I already logged on but the website clearly says that it is not for 1099G unemployment.

Yes and no. I don't find the way to get 1099G for Unemployment benefits even if I can log on with the claimant log on information. As you know, people sometimes don't bring the unemployment 1099G form, so for DC, I just tell that if they want, I can help them. I would like to be able to do the same for VA and MD.

DC has one portal for applying unemployment. If you go down a bit, you will find the weekly certification, and a bit more down you can get 1099G. All you need to get 1099G is social security number and date of birth. https://does.dc.gov/service/start-your-unemployment-compensation-process Can you share yours? I am particularly interested in VA and MD.

No. I am saying that if form 8938 is required... we must attach it to 1040. Failing to do so, our filing is not complete and talking about liabilities... might come in play.

We need to be careful because if you prepare a tax return requiring form 8938, you must do include it. In that case we might as well do FinCEN and FBAR.

You will have to export from the old computer and import on the new server.

Since you have to use 2019 on both EIC and child credits if higher, be careful because you have to manually select both. on Sch EIC Step 5, 2 you have to check the box. Then go to Sch 8812, 6a and manually enter the 2019 amount. If someone is doing the way I am doing it, let us know. If doing it different, please share.

You are right income was just below $175K. So the income is up to $175K for the second stimulus for MFJ. I wonder how the software will handle that. I am going to test with $180K to see if the software claims the second stimulus is 0 and about 1K for the first one.

It is interesting that if a distribution up to $100k was taken on January 2, 2020... it can be treated as a corona virus distribution and the tax payer will not pay penalty and it can be repaid back by April 15, 2023. This is straight from the horse's mouth: the term ‘‘coronavirus-related distribution’’ means any distribution from an eligible retirement plan made— (i) on or after January 1, 2020, and before December 31, 2020, (ii) to an individual— (I) who is diagnosed with the virus SARS– CoV–2 or with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID– 19) by a test approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, (II) whose spouse or dependent (as defined in section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) is diagnosed with such virus or disease by such a test, or (III) who experiences adverse financial consequences as a result of being quarantined, being furloughed or laid off or having work hours reduced due to such virus or disease, being unable to work due to lack of child care due to such virus or disease, closing or reducing hours of a business owned or operated by the individual due to such virus or disease, or other factors as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury (or the Secretary’s delegate). (B) EMPLOYEE CERTIFICATION.—The administrator of an eligible retirement plan may rely on an employee’s certification that the employee satisfies the conditions of subparagraph (A)(ii) in determining whether any distribution is a coronavirus-related distribution. (C) ELIGIBLE RETIREMENT PLAN.—The term ‘‘eligible retirement plan’’ has the meaning given such term by section 402(c)(8)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. (5) INCOME INCLUSION SPREAD OVER 3-YEAR PERIOD.— (A) IN GENERAL.—In the case of any coronavirusrelated distribution, unless the taxpayer elects not to have this paragraph apply for any taxable year, any amount required to be included in gross income for such taxable year shall be so included ratably over the 3-taxable-year period beginning with such taxable year. (B) SPECIAL RULE.—For purposes of subparagraph (A), rules similar to the rules of subparagraph (E) of section 408A(d)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall apply. (6) SPECIAL RULES.—

Under section 2202 of the CARES Act, the Treasury Department and the IRS may issue guidance that expands the list of factors taken into account to determine whether an individual is a qualified individual as a result of experiencing adverse financial consequences. The Treasury Department and the IRS have received and are reviewing comments from the public requesting that the list of factors be expanded.

I found you!!!! AND I am happy that you are not paying more for groceries. As you can see the wording of the CARES act is very accommodatable.

I usually take out the second or hyphenated last name... MAKE SURE you move your cursor away from that field and then try to create the efile file again. I keep cutting last name(S) until it works.

The first time, I got a credit with instructions on how to connect on line to transfer the funds. On the second stimulus, I got a check and that's it.

But mine was supposed to be 600 and we only got $30.50. Which is about the amount we owed in interest and penalty for 2019.

I could be anything because the second check seems to be available to past due obligations. I just posted this comment on a new thread: We just received a $30.50 check from the IRS. On the first stimulus, we got a credit card for $1,200, exactly half because we made $175K in 2019. On the second stimulus we were expecting half again ($600) but I guess the IRS paid taxes owed for 2019. What I get from this situation is that we better depend on what the IRS will have on its website because people like me will say: "we only received $1,200 on the first round and $30.50 on the second round.

I have seen three possible solutions: 1.- Instead of automatic... start the service as automatic delayed. You have to do for each year. I believe this will make you to wait a bit before opening ATX after boots and reboots. 2.- Run the service with a domain account as domain\username and password. 3.- Edit the registry and extend the time frame that the computer has to wait to run services. As you know, the computer has a few seconds/minutes to start all the services and if a service takes to long, the computer simply stops waiting and you will have to do it manually.

The second stimulus is untouchable. Not even by child support. Plus, $63.35 is too little for the support collection agency to report you to the collection agencies.

The cost will be actual cost or FMV at the time of changing from personal use to merchandise (whichever is lower). In this case the change of usage and the sale take place at the same time so 0 profit or loss. How about the internet connection to sell the stuff? How about how much more will H and R block charge them for including a 0 Schedule C? Remember that FMV is what a willing seller will sell for and a willing buyer will pay.

For sure the IRS got the information from a year that your clients made a bit more than $150K. Check their 2019 or 2020 return and you will find your answer. Again, if they deserve more, request it on 1040 for 2020.

Abby Normal, That could be that the existing state forms are not updated when we open the program. I am going to see if by removing the form and then add it back the issue resolves.

I have entered the information correctly but on D40 (DC), the state income tax withheld is not transferred. I wonder if DC is forcing ATX to force us to manually enter that information. If that's the case, I wonder how many small amounts will be missed by the preparers. I hope it is a software bug.

Not a big deal in the following situations: REMEMBER, no money will be returned (let's say this is an amendment) to the IRS and 2020 tax year is the "constitution". Example 1. Wife claimed 2 children in 2019. Got $2,400 on first shipment and then got $1,800 on the second shipment a couple of weeks ago. 2020 is the year that matters... wife is single and no dependents. She doesn't need to return money because of the amendment to the "constitution". Father got $1,200 and $600 because he had no dependents in 2019. In this case, he cares ONLY to what the "constitution" says (2020). He files 2020 and claims the two children. What the "constitution" says: That he needs to get $500 per child for first stimulus and $600 for the second. So, you request that money in 2020 and no complications. Example 2. Child was a dependent under 17 in 2019. Parents got the two shipments of stimulus because child was a dependent in 2019 and what the amendment to the "constitution" says: "no money will be returned". Child is 18 in 2020 and is not in school and made 50K and will file a single. He will get $1,200 and 600 because the "constitution" says so.

it is a matter of convenience. You can have a hard token which will take a few days to get to you and you have to carry both, your cell and the hard token. It is easier to forget your hard token than your cell. Companies don't requires cars... you can take the bus but a lot of people use their cars for convenience.

Our Company has Soft RSA tokens and software needs to be installed on phones. Employees, at first, say something like "I am not letting my company to put stuff on my personal phone". I don't argue with them. I just tell them, that token is needed for you to log on to sign your time card. So, you let me know when you are ready to install. Sometimes, they say, who can I complain? I tell them, VP of HR will be a good start, but this has been decided by HR, legal team and upper management. By the end of the conversation, they said "how do I get the software on my phone?"
