NECPA in NEBRASKA

Microsoft was kind enough to download Windows 10 tonight. I spent 2 hours getting it uninstalled with their online chant and now It has fracked up all of my ATX. The servers say started, but I get a ton of error messages. I will have to call support now and pray that I can get this fixed. It also ruined my regular Windows backup. God knows what else this has screwed with. QuickBooks appears to be OK. I'm so sad and PO'd! I had promised tax returns out today and now I have to call and tell them that I won't be able to.

I received a brochure with a phone number to call. There was no amount in it.

i'm done with return and extensions for the night. I am doing a couple of sales taxes so I can go take tomorrow off and go to my husband's doctor appointment and take him out to eat. He has been a trooper this season and he has done a great job handling the client's the past few weeks. I didn't think that I had so many extensions, but it took forever. I'm going to have to count sometime, but right now I'm too tired to find out.

The OWN tax. I had to Google it a bunch of times.

Thank you, Jack! I was just looking at my list of programs. I uninstalled it. What I really want to know is where it came from. It said that it was installed on 3/5/16. I don't know what it came with. I will take a closer look after Monday.

Catherine, I will try. I can't find it in my list of programs. It's running as a process. It must have come with Windows.

I saw on another website that they got into one of the CPA's computers through team viewer. I had no idea that it was running all of the time on my machine. I have it disabled now, but I have to do it every time that I reboot. I don't know how to completely stop it. She says that they changed her router and disabled the firewall, too. This just scares the crap out of me. How am I supposed to protect my business as a one person office, when huge companies and governments get hacked?

I don't, but it's a great idea. I am thinking about a PO Box up the street at the UPS Store to get my address off of my website and the IRS website. Although the IRS claims that they can't verify my professional status and may take my name down. Boo! Hoo! I think it's because I had to use my legal first name on my app years ago, and I use Bonnie for everything and always have. I faxed them everything that I had showing the current permit for myself and my corporation. I don't know what more they could want.

Congrats! I'm definitely doing something wrong. So many of my clients have a cow if they go on extension. I will be busting my rear until Monday. The good side is I won't have as many people on extension bugging me to get them done in April while I'm trying to do payroll and property taxes. I have had so many complicated returns this year that it has really put me behind on smaller ones. Way too many new businesses started and too many late K-1s and 1099's.

That is so smart! I need to add that one too! Of course it won't help with the people that don't even open my envelope.

She admits that it did not come from me now. She went back and looked at it and now says that she realized that it was from a fake address.

Thanks! I know that AOL and Linked In were hacked a year or two ago. She did give me some of the contacts in the email and it wasn't from my list. She did say that the email was not my email address, just something like it. There was nothing in my sent file to her or anyone else from any of my email addresses that weren't really sent from me. I will download one of these tonight when I might get to sleep.

My scans came back fine. I'm more worried, because she has sent me numerous emails since then and I worry about that. Thanks!

A client emailed me that she opened a virus that she claims looks like it may have come from me on 3/28. She says that it had an attachment. I checked and nothing was sent from my email, so I assumed that it was a spoof. She said that she forwarded it to me, but I never received it. (Thank God)! Today she says that someone hacked into her bank account overnight and set up a transfer. Apparently the bank caught it. I have never had her bank account numbers, so at least that didn't come from me. I run Malwarebytes and AVG full time and they both do full scans nightly. I have not heard about a fake email this year from anyone else. She is acting like it's my fault and it came from my computer. I am running scans again right now, but I don't have time for this crap. Is there anything else that I should be doing, besides being P O'd?

I get so sick of opening envelopes that haven't been opened or the ones that have been opened and they still shove the crap back in so I have to take it out again. I throw the stupid envelopes away most of the time. Unfortunately, my mother is one of the worst offenders. She never met an envelope that she didn't like. She puts all of her bills back in the envelopes and keeps them forever.

I don't know if it's simple fix, but if it's the banks fault. They need to fix it.

Happy Birthday! I hope you have a good one.

I know. It's because Nebraska didn't expand Medicaid and their AGI has to be above 138% of the poverty level or go on Medicaid.The 8962 didn't compute that way at all and I don't know how to make it not give him back even more money.

I am going to scream or cry. I got the return finished and the AGI was $24,492. Client is receiving additional $587 in Net premium tax credit and he says his AGI has to be $28,000 in Nebraska or he has to pay it all back. I don't understand. He is self-employed and I used the expenses that he gave me. If he has to pay it all back, why doesn't the 8962 show it? Am I doing something wrong? Can I not take his self-employed health insurance deduction that he doesn't need anyway? If anyone knows how to help me, please let me know.

Thanks to all of you on this board. I learn so much here, plus laugh my butt off many times a day. I have been struggling with the self-employed health insurance deduction for a client that has ACA coverage with APTC and declined employer health insurance (which was outrageous, so it was OK). The worksheets in the Pubs and Rev Proce, just made me nuts. I found an awesome thread from 2015 with Bulldog Tom and Judy, among others that helped me in plain English and made me not feel so stupid. I guess I must try to make things too hard, but when so much affects everything else, I just get so frustrated. The numbers are so easily manipulated and there is EIC on this too, so I go over it with a fine-toothed comb, because I don't want my neck on the line for preparer penalties. Bonnie

It stinks! They really need the money. I'll really be mad if one of them dies before they get it. They are elderly.

Judy, I have one of these from last season, still hanging out there. The IRS caught the issue before my client's return was rejected, but they still do not have their 2014 refund. The IRS sent them a letter in January that it would be forthcoming, but they don't have it yet.

We found out that we have a possum living under the shed a couple of years ago when we heard this loud banging on the deck in the middle of the night. We went to look and it was trying to eat the loaf of bread that I had tried to make in my new bread machine. It was banging it on the deck, because it was like a brick. I will never live this down. My husband and son called the bread "muck".That didn't scare the possum away. He still hangs around on the deck at night.

I have one with 3 kids, wife with part time job and claims 12 EXEMPTIONS. Why don't they get a bigger refund or have to pay every year? I go over this every year with him, but the withholding stays the same. I checked, but apparently the rule that the employer had to send the W4 to the IRS because it had over 10 exemptions isn't in effect anymore.

You can enter it as a seller financed mortgage and it will accept it.
