I am not getting ‘used’ to crypto. I’ve told the few clients I have that are dabbling in it that they will have to provide me with gains & losses or they’ll find someone else. Most of my clients are like me: too old to deal with it.

I finally got the ACK on Monday, but I left my computer on overnight expecting the program to require a log in, but it was open! Shut it down and logged in, left it for a few hours and it was still logged in. Haven’t had the program open again since then

Yes, as I understand it.

I rebooted my computer Saturday and decided to try to send a return that got bounced due to the wrong ID theft PIN. Decided to try it without the pin since these are the kind of clients that probably didn’t get one after we had to paper file last year. Anyways, no ACKs, it just says no ACKs available. Second thing and the scary one is that if I leave the program open, it doesn’t need a login after about 15 minutes. Anyone know what might be going on?

Put the foreign wages on the FECWK! You don’t need to paper file

Me too! Currently only my bank accounts at my credit union & the NV Board of Accountancy. I don’t like all the snooping I’ve read about Chrome doing.

I thought he already converted it? You mean leave it as traditional.

You would show the transfers leaving PayPal/Venmo and landing in your bank account if you were audited. The IRS will assume all deposits are income, but it’s easy to show they are not.

I just got through to the PPL in about 3 minutes. Trick is to call between 5pm & 7pm. Most practitioners go home at 5. Now I’m on Pacific Time, so maybe this doesn’t work in the East, but I’m rarely on hold more than a half hour. oh and don’t call on Monday.

I’m confused as to whether your client is a US person who worked in Australia for a summer job or an Australian who worked in the US. In either case, the 2555 isn’t used. If client is US person with Australian earnings, put the wages on the FECWKS, and the income taxes paid on the 1116. Don’t forget to convert the Australian dollars to US dollars before putting the numbers on the return.

He will file under 330 day rule for 2021 but then can file under Bona fide resident. He probably would have qualified under bona fide resident in country A as well. You don’t have to buy a house/ get married etc to qualify as a bona fide resident. The return doesn’t have to be filed in 2023 at all.

I always forget about the 2 years after payment rule.

I cannot keep the years straight.

I just had a class in cryptocurrency, and had to deal with a client that had tons of little bits of crypto ‘earned’ from god knows what. I’m too old to deal with this!

I do my own payroll, that’s bad enough

Hey Tom, I hung onto 1/3-1/2 of my CA base (quite a bit of them are moving out of CA) and picked up a few locals. Mostly CA transplants! I already had about 1/4 of my clients non CA when I moved. The clients I’ve lost I don’t care about; I do approximately 100 returns and that’s enough for me. I found an ‘extreme home makeover’ house that had literally every thing I wanted in a house right in my price range....well, except a hot tub. Still need to get a hot tub. I do have a big ole jacuzzi though.

Tom, I ended up moving to Stagecoach because that’s where I found my dream house.

Congrats, Catherine!

I got a phone call today. 15% discount until May 30.

The view of the Sierra from Verdi is what made me want to move! Having fast internet was my only restriction on where I could live. I ended up losing about half my clients & picked up a few more, but since I no longer have a mortgage it doesn't matter. I'm a desert rat so the wide open, bleak landscapes just make my heart sing. A pox on all you that prefer green humidity to the desert!!

I started working on my van yesterday. It's been sitting for two years, since it came back from Burning Man in 2019. We are wondering if it still runs (1989 Ram 300). If there wasn't such a shortage of used vehicles, I'd look for a trailer & a pickup truck to pull it. Ah well, if it doesn't run, I'll figure something out.

They’ve been keeping the partnership for tax reasons and health insurance..

ILLMAS, your link worked. Thank you!

I just tried again and got this..again 1377308\Admin AuthenticationType: UUMS-MFA-RegisteredDevice Logout On a nearly blank white page

Now this wouldn’t be an issue EXCEPT she is an RDP. Hasn’t lived with partner for several years. So, community property: is there none & I file her in UT and partner in CA and it’s all easy peasy, or is there community on the CA person but none on the UT? I feel like I should know this! UT makes all the money, CA makes almost nothing. my brain shut down too. Not expected to reopen until May 18.
