I was hoping that once I put it on the Sch A, whether TP itemized or not it would add to line 40. Is there not a flow thru on this? I have tried it checking the box, not checking, going to the worksheets. It looks like I have to enter on the stand vs item worksheet either way. Is that right?

I'm having trouble getting the RE taxes to flow to the standard deduction. If I put on the Sch A and they can't itemize, do I have to manually put on the stand vs item worksheet. I thought it might flow automatically like the health insurance does. Am I doing something wrong? When do you check the box on line 39? Before? afterwards? It didn't make anything happen on the standard deduction.

Thanks for the info and the help.

After I bring up and customize the master form, I save it, then close master forms. I went into a return and printed out the detailed depreciation sheet and it looks just like the first one I printed. What did I do wrong? How do I get the new master form into my returns already being worked on?

In response to KC, it is printing landscape and I have eliminated most columns, but the HY and special allow columns I like to leave in, just so I know. Is there a place to go in to make some columns smaller? On the second sheet it is only printing the last column .

Last year I could print out the detailed depreciation sheet, which would show all my assets instead of the statement sheet which just showed depreciating assets. I like having them all, easier next year when the client has sold older assets. BUt anyway, the detailed would print all on one sheet and now it comes out on two sheets - just a column or two on the second sheet. Does anyone know if there is way to change it so I'm not taping sheets together to see the whole row.

My clients' ex does his tax with HRB on line. He does not have custody of his daughter, but says the program won't work when he puts in that she doesn't live with him. So he puts in that she does and it works! I told her that she is eligible for EIC with her even though she doesn't claim her, but if ex puts in she lives with him he gets the EIC if eligible(I don't know AGI) This is what gets me about DIY on line. People do what it takes to make the program work, not what is correct.

Haven't been here for a while, so if I ask something that has been discussed, send me to the topic. I did my first return with EIC today. Last year, I would add the form, and figuring started right away. This year when the form was added, it had the kids name on the form, but no EIC was added to the return. I stumbled around, finally filled out the EIC questions and the numbers appeared. This is different from last year? It used to put the numbers in and I would still answer the due diligence questions after I knew they got it. Anyone else having the same experience?

Client took out a mortgage on land he owned and used the proceeds for his new home. Is that qualified home mortgage deductible on Sch A. Does interest tracing apply to home mortgage?

Vehicle had been used 100% in business. This year it has changed to 60%. When I change on the asset entry form, it shows no deprec because of deprec taken when it was 100% is more that what is allowed at 60%. Don't I get to continue to deprec the value of my vehicle at 60%? How do I make the asset entry tab work correctly or do I just overide and keep pencil records as to amount I have deprec.

I wanted to efile a 1040A stimulus payment. Stimulus was marked, put ss in, wouldn't efile, then put $1 in interest, still wouldn't efile. Finally I just paper filed. What's the problem? software?, Me? Any suggestions?

I've been trying to efile stimulus returns with interest amounts. I fill out so it will flow to my Mo PTC and stays in my forms. But, the last two have rejected with the interest amounts. If it will efile with $1, why not $300. Then the return will be correct. Anybody else having this problem?

I know about the deduction, but when you put the figures on fed Sch A , health ins and long term ins in the applicable lines, the LT goes onto the MO worksheet along with the health ins, which if you don't take out, gets deducted twice. Once with the health ins deduction on line 4 and then again on line 17. The software automaticallly puts LT on that line, too. I've taken out long term so it doesn't add to the subtraction on line 4. Is that correct?

Would like to discuss the MO-A to see if you think software is correct or if you are correcting all health ins prem.

Software takes the total of Sch A health ins premiums (which includes LT premiums) and adds them to the worksheet on MO-A. Then software takes the LT care premiums and subtracts them on a line later in the form. I've taken out the LT from the worksheet. Is this correct? Otherwise TP gets deduction twice. Any one else notice this? But on another note, I called MO dept of revenue, and a self employed person can deduct the insurance premiums and get the SE health ins Credit, which looks like twice, too, but she told me it was allowable.

Can a MO Partnership return be efiled to Missouri. When I create only the Federal comes up. Any experience out there?

Software says I can't efile because of UPE reducing SE income from ptshp return. I did last year. What changed, and can I fix some how to get it to go? Any suggestions??

Client purchased qualified heat pump for credit, cost $3050. Is this a $300 credit? I'm having problems getting it on the form and making it work. Any hints to what I might not be filling in right?

THANKS!!!

Do you mark all three to transmit at the same time, or can you just transmit the state only after the federal and state piggyback are accepted? What's the point of doing a "held"? Just so you don't make a mistake of transmitting until you're ready?

I'm efiling two states. Program ask me if I want to hold the state only return. What is the best way to do? Do you mark and transmit Fed and Ks and MO marked hold? or do you only transmit Fed and KS, wait to be accepted and then transmit MO? I don't know in what order or how do this? Please help. Thanks

Client's W-2 has this number with an amount listed in box 14. Wages have been reduced by this amount. Does this qualify for the retirement credit?

Client withdrew from IRA, #1 distribution code, only 1 1099. How do I get the "no" to print on line 60. I don't think there is any reason to file 5329, as the instructions read. But how do I get the software to do the "no". I'm sure there is something I didn't mark right, but can't figure it out. Thanks for any help

What is the process to efile a LLC filing as a partnership? Have not efiled ptship or corp before. WHen I clicked on added forms needed the 1065 efile form did not come up, said to check CD. Also last year I rec'd an 06 user's book. Can't find my 07, have I misplaced or did I get one? Don't remember, does anyone else have one and did it come with the CD or did you have to request it?
