WITAXLADY

well let's try this one - so boyfriend brings in girlfriend - who is mfs! yep - still married but has a child so I say how long have you been separated - you could be H/H - so she gets big $$$ back now. But on $5400 does not need child for dependent. So why not give to non-custodial parent? I mean he has visitation rights - albeit supervised.. Oh no boyfriend!! says!! No way! and now her family wants to know why child's name is not on her taxes as dependent! why are you showing them or even telling them?! stay out of this.. so I am getting nasty emails and I finally say - come in on Sat and I will talk with her. Well the boyfriend can Bring her in after work at 2 - we are open to 12 - fine. In the meantime, I can amend the last 2 years! as my dad has been doing them!! so I go to amend and she has dependent credit on $1,200 of income one year- how did that get thru!! I can't even override.. and H/H on both and gets $1200 on one year and $100 on other. But again no dependent credit - so let the non-custodial parent have... So they come in with this cute baby girl, 4 months old - did I mention she is still married and in the paperwork - is the boyfriends paternity - 99% his... hhmmm and they are going to court soon to get child support and they are engaged and getting married... - not divorced yet! So I suggested they let non-custodial parent have 8332 and get the $1,000 and it can go against child support and she will get some $$ from him - otherwise he is always paying in - (do not ask how I know that ) - good idea! I mail in the amends, ready to e-file - would have already but I needed to put in banking info and she emails today - mind you this was Sat and it is now Tues - STOP! add dependent ,. LAWYER says no, I get to claim child, bad idea to let him have a chance to get $$$ to pay off child support - WTH!! ok, done and the non-custodial dad will always owe in and be in arrears - who won here? And Sat as my hubby was listening as I was afraid of a hostile session - hubby had said no marriage counseling but they were going off on him - I had to say, remember you did like him at one time and he is the dad... makes me wonder who was the issue... I am getting too old for this! You have issues - go elsewhere

good answer Gail!!

so I see the answer on bulk... but that just creates the 4868 - I have over 400 to do... is there some way to do this efficiently? Thx D

so can I close for a month and 5 days? phone has not stopped ringing!! I am hurrying as fast as I can and still do a good job - if you come in after the rush - they are not done yet! We will call you - if you just brought in more - that is 2 more weeks! today you came in? - you are an extension - always have been in March.. you got a letter! crazy from here on out! and we do this why?

so I cannot gt the $500,000 sec 179 to work - says it has reached it's limit at $59,000 and a calendar year one is fine 4562 says $500,000 but will not take and of course it is due with extension 3/15? Any helps or I will call ATX - and wait..

um - don't you just lump them?

Thanks Gail, Imagine that!! 3 emails later I got a 1099-B and now I received a 1099-Div.. what do they think those papers are!!! GRRRR not feeling these taxes today time for a walkabout

so I have a print out of dividends and sales and purchases listed as employee plan but nothing at the top except filer name - no roth or ira or 401,3,b etc... is this a taxable transaction for the year? Last year they received a 1099-Div from this stock company - this year just this printout... do I wait another week? Thx d

called atx and they knew it was an issue and they fixed =- happened on the laptop and on Sat and fixed also from an email - yay!

every 15 minutes...

definitely ship - even this time of year - reply to [email protected] - if you would please 3 kinds - mild, Italian style flavor, absolutely Ewemazing! The one that won - Lacey Lamb - smooth mellow more of a Continental type - great for snacking and then aged Ewemazing - if you like an aged cheese - this has a some zest to it, a good nice aged cheese. Sheep's cheeses are richer and creamier because the milk is and our flavor profile is can I say superb as my husband works for a starter/culture company Chr Hansen out of Milwaukee by way of Denmark so this is his business - developing flavor. We are both third generation dairy and our youngest just passed his cheesemakers test for his license Monday - not to work for us though - yet? 715-623-2520 - call with your order and credit card! We have staff ready and waiting

so in our spare time, we milk -well my husband and a few crew - I gave it up this year - milk sheep! And to our recipe/formula, a creamery in WI makes the cheese with cultures from his business - Chr Hansen, We make Ewemazing, Lacey Lamb and when it ages we call it Lovely Lamb as the "lace" goes away The World Cheese Championship contest judging was held yesterday and today - and we won in our class!!! whooo eee ! a nice continental flavor, mellow,snacking considered hard cheese like a cheddar type but all white - like sheeps' milk - rich, creamy - yum Now to sell it all!! Taking orders!

after two angry /"ungrateful" clients yesterday, my husband reminded me I could pick and chose - that is why I am in business for myself.. I can be sweet and forget to mail /email them their organizer or if I do not value my time and talents - how can I expect them to?

I agree with Rita - been doing it that way for years and the Jan update class finally taught it!!

I am trying to figure out my own situation when client comes in with $13,000 insurance check for fire.. from what I can see it is not taxable as went for repairs of business Mine - we lost a barn New Year's night - came home from visiting children and grandbabes and up in flames along with 140 market lambs.. just in time to save the building next to it Received $$ for lambs and so far replacement -depreciation for building, equipment If we build or not - again - this should not be taxable? Seems dumb to ask but seems like dumb to not be taxed (government left that open?) and yet why should it? Then what happens to the depreciable item? Fill out disposition for casualty/theft? Thank you - brain is fried and just March - seems like I have nothing done - still in January! D

ya got an email from PB< sending my new postal meter as mine is now obsolete and by the way price went up also... and when it comes today, we need at least 3 people to learn how to run it for 90 minutes! I replied - ha ha - not until after April 18th, tax office! Well it came, she said let it sit and now I can use the obsolete one - I wonder how long at the old lower price... hhmmmm Then my front desk person took the angry call - you so messed up - we got our check by mail , not direct deposit - and hung up - went online - IRS said - guess what, you were set up for DD but couldn't do that so mailed your check - My fault? I cannot control everything!!! Take a breath..

I carry them in fixed assets under non depreciable until sold or placed into service so not forgotten

oohhh good point! thx all

yes and I believe it is already on the ATX forms

so we are having to match and find past transcripts - I understand we have to put in a 6 digit PIN texted to my cell phone! when we log on - but for every tax client I request something for in the same time frame? This is beyond ...... Am I doing something wrong? D

When we put the W-2's into ATX payroll program - we are "correcting" it from Medlin - as you are correct - we cannot get your program to generate it as we need it to be. And we generally add it at year's end... as they pay the health insurance on their own all year to the insurance agency as lump sum for all employees covered and then have to break it out for the 2% shareholder.. So being able to add it in as you mentioned it in your original post sounded very workable to our style. and possibly saved much retyping! D

So I have a number of musicians that would normally charge $1,000 to $4,000 for a gig or event to play at - but because it is for a charitable cause - Cancer Society, Boys and Girls club - they are donating their set-up, etc Is there anything they can write off besides their miles? Promotion? Lots of $$ lost but not claiming any either - correct... Thx d

well I spent an hour trying to split the shared amounts so the new independent child didn't lose all her refund - at the lowest 1% she still lost whhatever amount I gave to her and it did not change the parents... Can I not give her any? she is 22 and lives at home but no school -$8800 earned

ok - so wandering minds want to know - how do you clear your print cache without rebooting? thx d

2 questions - so does a life estate qualify as inheritance? What if the parent goes into a nursing home and kids sell home before mom dies? Technically her home LE but I think they are splitting money - early inheritance???
