NECPA in NEBRASKA

I wish that I could get away without appointments for drop-off. I do have more that are willing to do drop-off, which I love. I still have too many people that insist on going over every little thing. I am going to use my husband much sooner this tax season for pick-ups. He saves me a bunch of time and most of them love to chat with him about his garden and stuff.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

I have a lot of clients that will be much worse off if this passes as it is. The medical deduction is huge for many of my clients. Student loan interest deduction is useful for a lot of my younger clients that are paying off their student loans. I have a few C Corps that will have to pay higher taxes as they are normally in the 15% bracket. I will have to look at S Corps, but they are very old businesses with a lot of retained earnings and one uses an HRA for himself, that may not work as an S Corp. I have to check the new rules on home equity interest, because I just had an elderly client have to take out a $35K home equity loan when her basement began to cave in, due to poor construction years ago. The builder took bankruptcy due to most of the subdivision having these issues. Will this kill self-employed health insurance deductions and/or HRAs? I am really feeling older than I am these days. I expect that I will have to keep this up until I'm 70, before I can go work somewhere less stressful.

Sara, I did manage to change my email to a new one that I will only use for PTIN. It was not as straight forward as I expected. I don't remember exactly how I did it, but it was not under manage profile. It was in some place that we set up at the very beginning with PTIN. I know that it worked, because I received emails from PTIN already. I'm sorry that I am not more helpful, but I'm buried trying to get caught up for my husband's three dr appointments this week and my mother's surgery

This happened here over the summer. Some stoned guy without a shirt, stole a tractor and drove it to town. He was asking people for sandwiches in the Walmart parking lot. Report: Shirtless tractor driver yells for sandwiches Man's driver's license had been suspended

I am not able to see anything on the atx community page. I followed the link when I logged in, but it's blank. They must be working on it still. I was using Chrome.

Judy, I am not having any problems with MWB and the TaxBook forum.

I went to a tax school last week and one of the speakers said that freezing our credit would make it impossible to be use E-Services or some other IRS online activities, like Direct Payment. I have not used Direct Payment, but I have had clients that do, I definitely need to use E-Services. This was the first that I had heard this. She was an IRS RO for 30 years, but I'm not sure if she is correct. Has anyone else heard this? I am not excited about freezing everyone's credit in the family, but almost all of us were in the lucky 143 million.

I will not make the payments for my clients. I efile their payroll or sales tax returns and my client's then have to make an ACH payment if required. I don't want anything to do with their bank accounts.

I just uninstalled the program. I had the 64 bit version and the hack was a different version of the 32 bit. Maybe it was overkill, but I am sick of all of this stuff.

I am looking forward to the mad rush of everyone wanting to file ASAP, because we've all been told to beat the hackers. I may very well lose business, because I just can't work that fast. I definitely can't get the larger returns out of here.

What version of ATX are you using? I am using TTO and I did not receive a message when I used Sec. 179. It figured the 4562 with it for an 1120.

I already signed my family up on their website. It looks like three of us may have had our info leaked. Two of them came up that Equifax did not think that their info was involved. If they can't stop this stuff, I don't know how the heck I will be able to keep my computer safe without taking it completely off the Internet.

We went out back and saw the 98% occlusion. It was pretty cool, as was the temperature for a short while. I'm so glad that the high clouds didn't obstruct it.

We have our glasses and the state is inundated with people. My son was lucky enough to get a jumpseat to get back here Thursday, because the flights were oversold. I just hope that a lot of the visitors aren't disappointed, because they are calling for cloudy weather. My husband wants to drive to Lincoln tomorrow, but I really have to work and they are saying that the roads will be a mess. If it's decent, we are supposed to be in 98% and that will have to be enough for my lifetime.

We are supposed to be in the 96-98% zone. We will just stay here to watch, because it will be a nightmare of traffic to get to the closest place for 100%. I just hope that my eclipse glasses get here in the mail.

I'm here! I would love to be taking CPE, but I'm stuck with payroll taxes, extensions, clients that only file every three years or so, and answering IRS and state letters. This is my worst summer ever for being behind, because I have too much on my personal and work stuff going on. I don't know how people can get letters from the IRS and state and not give them to me or their attorneys for months.

I really wish that it applied to Facebook, Twitter, etc. I do everything in my power to not post anything that could be remotely construed as political, but I have just about had it with some friends and relatives.

I have taken some of the one's from CPA Academy. I have learned something from most and the price is right. Some of them are definitely for sales, but they leave me alone if I'm not interested.

Eric, I'm sorry that I assumed that you were not a cat lover. I totally understand your feelings. My son has spent the last several days checking his rescue's litter box, because they thought that Hobbes had managed to eat a 4 foot piece of yarn and the vet said to wait. Four days later, the yarn started showing up, so hopefully they have avoided a large vet bill. I also think that Borg would be an amazing name.

Eric, As a life-long cat owner and lover, I hope that the cat behaves better after he is neutered. I'm really surprised that the shelter let him go before he was neutered, unless he was too young. I hope that you learn to love or at least tolerate him. My husband and my son's fiancee were 100% dog people until they were around my cats and now they both love them. Good luck!

We haven't had a 7-11 in town for eons. I don't even know where the closest one is.

I just received a check for $12 from a Mcafee class action suit! It's better than nothing. I don't even want to know what the attorneys take was.

Dang! I should have downsized.
