ATX program, I did a clergy w-2, and because the program auto fills in SS wages and medicare wages, I just didn't check close enough, I now have ss and medicare wages when the clergyman is self employed. There should be no ss or medicare wages. I can't figure out how to do a w-2C in the program. It keeps telling me I can't modify the field. Will I be able to efile the corrected one? Can someone walk me thru the process? Thanks

Couple both receive LTC benefits, so 8853 for him and her. did this last year and efiled two 8853's in the same return. Today when I created the efile, says efile exclusion, can't send two 8853 in same return. Checked updates nothing there. Will this change or am I stuck with paper filing this return?

I have been with tech twice (2 hours each time), and now for the third time I can't get a return to finish opening. It goes to 14%-35%, then just stops. Tech had me delete, restore, import, etc. Lots of things I'm not comfortable with, and feeling like they should be able to fix. They think maybe a corrupt form, but we have reinstalled the program, and updated. Anyone else have this problem?

Purchased new laptop. I only want to put 2010 files on to rollover to 2011. Been working on moving files, but can't get to work. Tech won't help on wireless. Can anyone help?

Can someone give me a resource/knowledge base from ATX so I can move 2 years files(10 and install 11) to my networked computer. My helper is ready to work, but we don't know how to get the returns to her computer.

Purchased a new computer, want to network with old computer and have 2010 and 2011 on new computer. Need help

thanks, I've used before, but today I was a blank.

I know there is a worksheet in the program to estimate the taxes for 2011, but I can't remember what it is called. Help?

On the bottom of the 1040. I've even taken it off and put it back on. Yes, I've already done some, too, but this is a new return, so I thought maybe something was different

I have a 2000 refund and want to put 1000 on the estimate for 2011 and refund the other 1000. Software won't carry over the partial overpayment, it's carrying all the refund, even though I have only put 1000 on the line for estimates. Do I need to mark a box or what? Doesn't want to let me use part. I can override, but .... Any help?

Should the ins am't on the top of the SE be the same as line 29, or should the am't on the top of the SE be the total amount of the cost of the insurance (which would be more than SE am't), or should the am't of the ins on the top of the SE be what is on the SE form, (total amount of the profit)? I want to efile this return instead of paper filing.

My client will not owe SE tax because of insurance deduct. the amount of profit on Sch C shows on Sch SE (before deducting insurance), so line 29 shows health deduct minus 1/2 of what would be SE tax. Put in insurance, no SE tax, but line 29 is still short 1/2 of what would have been SE tax. So, TP still pays income tax on a little SE income, but no SE tax on income. Is this correct? Now, will it efile this way? One guy said to delete SE form, but it changed the amount on line 29 to the full amount of the SE income ( no subtraction for 1/2 of SE tax that isn't there.....) It shouldn't be this difficult. How are others working it. Line 29 same as SE profit, or with subtraction?

Just checked and another program update. I have had problems with K-1, ptshp deprec and 179 deductions flowing correctly to Sch E. They appear correct on the Sch SE. Now the asset entry screen, used with global settings - when I choose an alt deprec and mark the box, it is affecting prior years and changing that years method also, when it should be leaving it as put in the prev year. I've email support, but other times I have asked support, no results, no explanations.

I do manual updates every morning, and for the last few days there have been program updates. Why so many now? And it doesn't prompt me to restart my computer after program updates like it used to. Is everything all right, and is this happening to everyone with ATX? Just curious and want to make sure I'm ok.

I just spent an hour with tech support, and the girl admitted she didn't know taxes, so explaining what wasn't flowing right was difficult, but in the end it sounded like her report was accurate. I had problems with prev year deprec. It was subtracting a UPE 179 deduct from my prev deprec and shorting the TP $$. If you didn't know what you were looking for, it would be an easy miss. I did an override so at least I know the numbers are right, and there was an efile exclusion anyway. I told the tech, if they had left it alone from last year, it worked! Just more frustration in the evening when I'm trying to catch up. Thanks for answering.

I'm still having trouble with the flow from K-1 to Sch E, and no flow of unreib. ptsh exp of depreciation to sch E. I put numbers on k-1 imput sheet, but different numbers show up on the Sch E. I'm missing something, but can't figure it out. Very frustrating. Any one else having a "flow" problem, or am I doing something wrong?

I can add the depreciation to the unreimbursed ptnsp exp, which I probably will have to do. It's just another step that wasn't there last year and another to watch for. What's the point of having the 4562 - 1065 if it doesn't flow to the K-1 and then to the Sch E. It worked last year!!

Bringing back to the top. Is this just my problem or is it a program problem. Just looking for some suggestions.

I have unreimbursed partnership expenses, depreciation that I have under K-1, but it won't flow to the Sch E page 2. It shows up on the K-1 input sheet as misc exp, but doesn't flow to the Sch E. I know it worked that way last year. Am I missing a box or something to check or put in. Frustrating, it shows up on the K-1, but not the Sch E. Anyone else notice the problem?

It worked for a while, but now USA is back in the foreign country box. It is not in my preparer manager. I can get it out, but just an extra step shouldn't have to do.

I had the same problem on a Sch F in an individual return. Others years it was not a problem.

This afternoon, USA is popping up on the paid preparer part of the federal efile form. This morning I created and had no problem, didn't change anything, and this afternoon all the efiles have to get the USA in the foreign country box taken out. I didn't change anything, and I don't know how to fix. Any suggestions???

I have ptshp income. TP has misc UPE and depreciation, and section 179. I have always imput on the sheet and it would flow to the sch E, pg 2. I've compared to last year and the numbers just won't work. Has anyone else had a problem with these worksheets. Is there a check or something I'm missing?

FYI: I found above the imput screen a place to mark "military" and if flowed right to the MO-A. I knew I had to be missing something.

Thanks, asset was put into service in December. I had elected out of all bonus deprec, but still the 100% shows up in the program. Just wondered why, appreciate the answer.
