This works as well. In my case, the culprit is Avast. My IT person went into Avast and turned off the files that were not allowing ATX to open. This now prevents me from having to turn off Avast every time that I want to log into ATX.

I got it three times yesterday. Close out ATX and close computer and restart. I think we reach a point of overload. We had IT with us all day yesterday and all of our computers are working fine and up to date.

True, but how many of them understand that or have a clue as to how to do it?

It's even worse when you tell them to print it to a PDF and attach it to an email. They are dazed and say "Huh?"

I think it is necessary. I have always used a different password for Payroll.

Make sure that you have a different password for Payroll than you use for the ATX 2024 tax program.

Isn't this the absolute truth? So many with the info on their phone and no printer. Then they want to send a screenshot, which we can't read. So tired of saying "Where is your this, this and this?" What a waste of time and energy. This year I am telling my assistant to add a surcharge. Either they will learn a lesson or pay the price.

I get mine from TangibleValues.com. They have several. Mine are non-binding window covers which I have used for many, many years. Special early bird deals, etc. I usually order 200 at a time.

Let's just say that we all do the same job with different methods. For instance, behold the desk of Elsi who is 101 and doing three returns a day. Her desk is an orderly mess. I don't even see a computer, so am assuming that she is still using a typewriter and carbon paper. Re: Judy's post regarding the age of tax preparers.

Yikes!!!!

This is one of the most stimulating and impressive things that I have ever seen. One of my clients did tell me just the other day that I had to stay actively preparing her tax returns for another 20 years. Maybe?????

Nor, do I!!!! Give credit where credit is due.

I believe that you will have to add the rest of the 40% which were not fixed assets to the basis of the rental at 27.5 years. This trashing of rentals seems to be the rule rather than the exception the past few years. (Depending on the class of rental properties the client has.)

Good luck with that. I have a client who just recently received his 2022 Federal tax refund. We played every card that we could, but they move at their own pace. Due to recent news, that pace may slow down considerably.

I certainly need to add....."What would we all do without Eric?"..........and Judy!!!!!

Thank you Judy. We already did attempt to shut down some Avast files, which didn't help. However, I can turn Avast off when I am working in ATX and switch to Microsoft Virus Protetection pretty easily. I will print your report and wave it in front of my IT person.

Yes, they did. Also, I generally have to turn off Avast in order to log into ATX for some dumb reason. My other suggestion is to go all the way out; shut down the program and the computer and try again. That often works.

No issues here with either the server or Efile. Sorry to hear that.

I did it. Half from you and half from me. What would we all do without Eric?

Check your forms updates...

How about if I make a donation to the Board? Thoughts????

If they have a $1 coming back, I go for it. The principle of the thing.

Well, I am a good loser. Send me the arrangements.

Of course, you will renew. Stick with this old wagon train. Sometimes, I think they need us!

The CF form is not available until Feb 17. I am waiting for it also.
