TAXMAN

Yikes? I am about out of storage space for paper files from earlier days. How long do you keep this stuff? Any ideas on storage of old files?

I feel as though I am dumb as a box of rocks. I can get into the solution center but can't seem to find my account or billing invoices. When I put a dates in turns them completely around and says no invoices. I can even seem to find by billing history. Anybody know what I am doing wrong?

TP is 65 and still working full time. Is eligible for Medicare but not signed up. Spouse is receiving Medicare and social security. TP is enrolled in HSA. Can TP still make and receive contributions into the HSA on a 2 person level? Thanks

Is there any work around for a reject due to ein being issued in current year but being used on 2017 w-2?

Hey ya'll : Dad died 2012. Daughter inherits all property. Real estate appraisals were done for Estate purposes.(no mention of timber). Daughter sells logs in 2015. Do you think maybe 30 to 40% of what sold for in 2015 would be a safe bet? The way it was done, said I will give you 14k for the walnut that I can get. She said ok. Buyer paid her. End of deal. No measurements or any idea of how he came to that price. What do you think?

If an form 1041 was started in 2017 with a fiscal year ending in 2018 with income being distributed that the heirs will report in 2018 how do we do the K-1's. Using 2017 k-1 will have a bad where to report on the 2018 form. What now?

Anybody have the draft of the whole thing. I can't seem to find it all. Thanks

Everybody that is there please post some pic or a video. Umpiring all stars games this weekend.

Dang it I have to umpire the all stars softball games that weekend. My daughter and granddaughter are both playing. We start on Friday morning and go to Sunday night. A win here means we get to go to State tournament. Root for us. Put up pictures or videos. I can get them either way. Everybody enjoy but lookout for the back 40. Who knows what lies there.

I also get tone supplies from Supplies outlet. They deliver fast and will replace any that you find defective with no questions asked.

Yes, you know that a lot of TP only hear what they want and a lot only read the first 8 words. I for see a problem with cash strapped states to follow.

I am still using my HP4050's. Bought a used on ebay 2 weeks ago for about $60.00. Put a maintance kit in and running fine. I have 5 of these guys. I guess when they give up I will have to move up.

Yeah, But I can eat a whole box of holes, whereas I can't eat just one donut. We used to have a place her that make "Texas" donuts. They were the size of a 13" dinner plate. I miss that place.

I found the top of my desk today and the missing choc bar.

My son is learning baseball umpiring. I have been calling about 5 years. First scheduled game for me tonight and his first base calling tonight. Should be fun. At least I can toss you out if I don't like you.

Yea, how come the beautician down the street is smarter than me and cuts hair for a living???

How many of all those states list do you actually prepare non resident returns in. I new one cpa said if the gross was positive and more than $50.00 he would do the extra states. I guess to jack up his fees.

Yes I have seen this also. 2 different claim numbers due to one of the spouses being deceased.

They become a more nightmare when buried in the 1099B form because most brokers do not know the true basis. Then when sold partials you have to check th k-1 info looking for what have for detailed info. Just my 2 cents worth.

To Gail in VA. Have you noticed that when TP loses A on Fed for 2018 that the state tax goes up due to THE LOW STANDARD. Have you read anything that says VA may allow an either or for deductions. Else it may become a windfall for the state and a loser for our TP"s.

In ATX you need to delete the EF form for Fed and state then recreate the form . In the submission number you should see the date of 2018 in it. This is how I fix this problem. Works every time.

Thank you Thank you this really picked me today.

Yep that's what I thought when I saw the heading. I am gonna apply. Now it takes both incomes to make ends meet. They never that coming.

Hey I had a printer do the Jack thing. Thought the dang building was on fire. Its hard to believe how hot these things can sometimes get.
