TAXBILLY

I'd be curious to see how they handle 1041s. I've yet to do one where I did not have to override something. taxbilly

Lion: Remember that mandatory e-file doesn't go into effect until after December 31, 2010, not the upcoming season. taxbilly

An eligible small business (ESB) is one which has less than $15 Million in gross receipts. Not sure if it would apply to a rental carryback. taxbilly

Old Jack: If you read cientax's original post he asked for a website and I provided one. I'm not sure if by answering the question I should have gone into a long discourse on the general question of depreciation. I provided the Kiplinger link because cientax's second post wanted information on the new laws. The Kiplinger link is a good reference for now until additional info comes out on the new law passed this week. I posted the website to the technical summary of the new law separately because I figured many of us had questions, especially with the mandatory e-file and the extended first time homebuyer credit extension and the new provision for those who own a home now. Karen: My secret is simple, really. I peruse three other boards daily (Quickfinder, Fairmark, Tax Almanac) and when I come across something of use I bookmark it so that I can read it later. As to research, taxalmanac.com has a cornucopia of ways under their research resources button to access just about anything in the IRC, Regs, Tax Court, etc. I try to answer a specific question if I can but don't feel I should "teach". If someone at least makes an attempt to find the answer to their question and are stumped then I think the wise sages of this board can help. I know we all have our specialities. I see Old Jaclk answering with ease corporation and partnership questions on another board and of course we know KC and Jainen know everything! :~) taxbilly

You could rename the file: 00000001.pdf could be renamed 1099.pdf. To do that: right click on the file, go down to rename, type in the new name and hit enter. taxbilly

Hard to explain something that's not officially law yet but it involves a credit for present home owners to replace their present personal residence and receive a credit of up to $6500. All this is very general and we will have to wait until the bill is finalized and voted on by the house which will be soon. taxbilly

We'll need to make sure we have enough liability insurance. taxbilly

Another amazing coincidence ... Smyrna TN is only a few miles from Murfreesboro, TN (TRX?). taxbilly

Some unanswered questions ... The telephone number is unlisted. The website says they are a division of Lake Financial Services. The TN Dept Of State website says they were dissolved in 2006. There is no street address that I could find for the business in Smyrna, TN taxbilly

1040 and its Schedules are now available at irs.gov. taxbilly

Hmmm ... the website makes no mention of Drake software. There was a website called guardiantaxsolutions.com that sold Drake but the website is now defunct. Something fishy here. taxbilly

Hold down the control key and hit the plus key as many times as needed. taxbilly
