do we have to have the 12.5 update to efile now? I haven't downloaded yet because I was waiting for the problem to get fixed. So far I have had no problems and could work on returns. But now its time to efile (30th) I guess it needs me to update progam. it lets me create efile but when I go to transmitt it won't let me. Just for the record I hate the printing this year. mine is not slow but checking boxes and getting extra copies its hard to figure out.

doesn't it have to a code J because she is under 59.5? you fill out the 8606 and then no penalty.

Did you look under Preference section. you can go thru the list like last year and check what you want it to show and un check others

I think that is exactly what they will be doing. I emailed my rep to ask that very question and of course he said no. I will be saving that email to show him next year when they start charging extra. I do know he has no control over it.

Have they taken away the custom print option this year? I like to print what pages I want and I did like the save previous print jobs.

I do alot of payroll for my monthly clients I like quickbooks for the G/L work but the extra cost for the annual fee for payroll is way out of line. I need one that will do state reports so I guess I am stuck with them

who uses quickbooks for payroll? I just got my renewal for this year and it went up to 429.00 a year to do payroll. I need to find a different payroll software. anyone use something else besides quickbooks and like it?

I remember the roar. ATX seems to get better each year once the early bugs are fixed

does everyone have locks on their file cabinets. I am planning on getting them this year but wondering about keys. When I talked to office supply store they said each would have a different key I want to avoid having 7 different keys. how is everyone else handing this? do you have locking file cabinets? TIA

my 1040 express answers came UPS today on the west coast

that is the first thing I thought when I saw the email about the payroll forms. extra cost next year. I use quickbooks for my monthly clients but ATX for 1099's and odd w-2's for tax clients. Now if I have to start paying extra for that convience......... I don't know may be time to start looking elsewhere

anyone ordering atx this late and still getting the 10% discount?

I think the utilities are admin cost and are deductable to the heirs on final return under Misc deduction subj to 2% I would not add to basis of house.,

thanks, you saved me time going to NY website and searching. They were under the agi amount for NY too, I did look that up

I have a non resident of New york state that received a K-1 from an trust that has didvend income. the deceased ( 01/19/2010) is from New York. any NY preparers who know off the top if I have to file NY return? any hidden quirks I need to watch out for. I haven't a New York return before. This is the first K-1 received even tho deceased in 2010 thanks

so do I subtract the principal payments from the first sale?

client sold 2nd home on installment sale but at a loss so not deductable. only reports interest each year. 2011 buyer quit deeded back before sale at auction for non payment of property taxes. my client is now renting out. So I am trying to figure the basis for depreciation. all my worksheets for repossessions deal with the sale at a gain. is the new basis the original basis minus prinicpal payments received plus repo cost? any help appreciated

I think it is the lower of cost basis or fmv when converting. So it would be cost basis and also pick up the roof on that side

that's what I thought.

CLient won a prize at casino and received a 1099-misc box 3 other income Can this be offset by gambling losses? name just went into drawing at casino. I am think no but just want others ideas thank

I still don't see anything to add. I saved the pdf to my desktop. Should I save it somewhere else? I am trying to attach the 7004 to the state return. its the only way I can efile the state

no that is the same. I was just asking about the filing of the 941's paper or efile

great I'm not ready to do that this quarter. I like to just do and give to them to sign & file. I already do to the electronic deposits. They were saying that we are all considered "reporting Agents".

another tax office just informed me that we are now all required to efile any 941's we do for our payroll clients. I haven't even taken the time to look it up because I don't do my 941's until after the 15th. But anyone here have any information on that? thanks

so the amount of on line 47 should end up zero?
