ATX 2008.0.160 taxbilly

Ive had a few these within the past few weeks but the amounts have been small enough to not make much difference. taxbilly

I agree with you on that. taxbilly

I lean towards reimbursment. It makes things cleaner and the partners do not have to mess with it on their personal returns. taxbilly

I would report it on the client's personal return. That way it will be matched and there probably isn't a gain anyway. taxbilly

Most of my clients just give them to me intact but some do get frustrated when they try to open them up themselves. taxbilly

No. The ones you need are: The Final 1040 & Estate 1041 - catalogue number 2844 Preparing Form 1041 - catalogue number 2850 taxbilly

I put them on the 8283. taxbilly

Senior citizen coffee at Burger King, 10% off on Wednesdays at Bealls, Medicare, and in your future: hearing aids, dentures, cataracts, knee replacement, hip replacement, etc! :~) taxbilly

A balmy 74 and sunny here in, well, sunny Florida. taxbilly

May you have many more! taxbilly

May you have many more! taxbilly

And you worried for nothing ... :~) taxbilly

I requested an audit be switched from the Boca Raton office (about 150 miles south of me) to one in my area. Took two years before they contacted me about it. I said I would provide documentation so that the auditor could close out the account quickly if he didn't want to go through the trouble of an office audit. He agreed, I submitted the info and he made it a no change audit. taxbilly

As it says in this publication on page 2, you have a right to choose a time and place convenient for you. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p1.pdf I worked for HRB for six years and represented many clients before the IRS in that time because I was the only Enrolled Agent they had. I have been in my own business for over thirty years and have represented hundreds of clients. I have never had a problem rescheduling an audit. What you should do is contact the auditor's supervisor and tell him of your problem. Don't worry about the agent. You will handle this in a professional manner and his/her supervisor will probably want to know from the agent why a change of time and/or location wasn't immediately granted. taxbilly

Accurately and succintly put, Maribeth. taxbilly

If it's situation 1) there may be a deduction for a nurse or someone not necessarily a nurse that comes in to help her with dressing, washing or eating. taxbilly

Just thought of one more thing you can do ... reinstall the program. Maybe a file got corrupted. taxbilly

My mom is in a nursing home about 5 minutes away. I visit her every Sunday but she doesn't know me (dementia). Se is 89 and in otherwise good health but it is heartbreaking. At least she is happy in her world. taxbilly

There are different kinds of assisted living: 1) Is it an apartment where she can do her own cooking, etc and meals are served in the dining room (usually twice a day) and medical staff is available 24 hours a day? 2) Is it akin to a nursing home where one fee per month includes all the basic needs which consist of meals, everyday activities such as bathing, etc and nursing care available 24 hours a day? 1) would not be deductible 2) would be deductible taxbilly
