Couple might need my service this year. They have a new van that is being used for two different businesses. Husban does deliveries early in the morning and wife Janitorial services during evenings. I find that the only way to report car expenses will be claiming miles because of two schedules Cs. I don't see a clear picture of how to claim section 179 or depreciation. Your imput will be appreciated. I will meet them during this weekend. Thank you.

Thank you very much. Have a good day.

When is the due filing date for a 1099-MISC if being mailed. (I know if E-filing it is March). I have being reading but unable to find the answer. Thank you and good morning to everybody including Californians.

Thank you KC. But client decided to go back to reconcile with spouse after getting the news of the "Big" tax bill payable to IRS if filing separate.

Can this year E-file married filing separate returns? I know last year it was not allowed. thank you

Helo! again Californians. Are you still waiting for news on your CA. transmissions? Exactly a week ago I sent the first CA. transmission and still showing Verified by EFC". I don't know what to believe from what ATX says. Thank you.

Very good point KC. However after federal has already being accepted why state would take so long to give us its acknowlegment. I realized that you do not mind if we call you KC. Please let me know; otherwise I will use your whole name. Thank you.

Is CA FTB taking long to accept transmitted returns? I send my first one last night (Friday. Federal showed accepted Saturday morning; CA is still in the "Validated by EFC" status and is almost Sunday morning. What does EFC stand for? Thank you.

My practice is small but picking up every year. I still have I full time job but starting February I will cut hours so I can dedicate more time to my business. Have a good day.

Got it!!

In California. By the way KC, how do we deduct the tax software program from prior year? depreciation?, 179? When I read the Pub. I feel like getting crasy; I know there is a new regulation on how to deduct it but I can not find it. Good night.

Hi Eli, Try to figure out who I am. I am not a newbe. I did what you said but the only message I got is that I am able to transmit. Hopefully I will be Ok with my first real one. Good night.

Do we have a new rule to send a Test transmission? Last year we could use SS#111-11-1111 or 222-22-2222 to try to transmit a sample return. I was trying but it will reject the transmission because invalid "socials". I need to try before sending the first real one. Any news about this or ideas why I may be doing wrong? Thank you again.

I want to thank you KC.. and Joan.. for their answers to this post. I also want to add that I have a full time job, so my practice is small and the only time I post is during evenings. If not response from me during day time is because this is the only time I can do it. I appreciate your help.

I was trying a E-file a transmission test but received a message error that says I am not authorized to transmit. Do I have to call for an unlocked code before transmitting the first time or is something wrong with my product. ( I ordered 1040 office) Thank you again.

Hello! can someone help me with this question? If a client does not agree with any of the changes IRS is making in a return, does the taxpayer still has to sign the form? Or just to check the box in section #3? (client has all proof in favor that no tax is owed) Thank you for any comment.

Thank you again Deb.

When using the Self-Select PIN, Do we need to filled the Date signed Box? And What about the ERO PIN? Is it that another PIN# that I have to generate? I am an old fashion person that was so confortable using form 8453. I would appreciate if someone with the patience like that of JOB to give me the instructions on how to complete those boxes so I can start my season this coming weekend. Thank in advance. God bless this forum

Yes, I will send my as soon as possible. Thank you.

I understand what you mean; I rely on this forum. Thank to you and to everyone else for making possible for others to continue. I still think ATX should have given by now a new support # if they changed it. Have a nice weekend.

Des ATX has a new customer support #? I have being trying to contact them through 1800 638-8291 but all get is a nice message saying that all agents are busy assisting other customer. By the way, I will appreciate if any californian has any information about the release date of CA E-File Info. I hope everyone have a good relaxing time before the rush. Thank.

I see that I made right this time but I do not remember how I did it.

What about the 1040 Kleinrock and 1040 Expreess Answers? Are they sending books or is just online? Thank you again. I think I need to know how to post. This is my second time. I don't want to use the whole screen for a post. If this takes lot of space please let me know the way to do it

It took a long time to get my program CD. To all of you who already got your tax program: Did you get the "User's Guide Book" this year as before or just the CD too? I did not get the little book this time. I hope that the 1040 Express answer and 1040 Klein Rock book did not come at this time because they are still in print. I ordered the 1040 Office which include thouse items. If you have any information for me, I will appreciate. Thank you in advance.

I see an activation code online but I have not received the CD. I have being calling but now is hard to talk to a person; all they do is take you from one message to another message and finaly what I hear is: "Your call can not continue at this time, try later" I called on Thursday and Friday wiht the same result. Wish me luck.
