I'm probably imagining it, but I thought I saw a post recently about reinstalling efiled returns from my account on the atx website. Is this a possibility?

You can make an election for the trust to be treated as part of the estate. Usually makes things way simpler: one 1041 for both, pick a fiscal year.

Unexpected Error-Anyone else getting this??
Slippery Pencil replied to M7047's topic in General Chat
It's definitely your computer. And thousands of other users' computers. It's not WK's fault their software doesn't work with so many computers. -

It's not a tax question. It's a legal question and I'm not stupid enough to practice law without a license.

The owner should check his state's labor laws and discuss it with a labor attorney licensed in his state.

The owner may want to check the state's labor laws regarding owners & managers taking a portion of employees' tips.

How to properly back up ATX/Payroll software correctly?
Slippery Pencil replied to IT Guy's topic in General Chat
I assume SPX was the backup solution preferred by the previous consultant. There is a backup and export function w/in ATX in the Return Manager under Returns. -
Missed Required Minimum Distributions
Slippery Pencil replied to Tax Prep by Deb's topic in General Chat
The full penalty is still waivable. Request waiver of the full amount. Don't pay any penalty upfront. Let the irs decide if they're going to impose the penalty, then pay it if they do. -
Missed Required Minimum Distributions
Slippery Pencil replied to Tax Prep by Deb's topic in General Chat
Hell, she doesn't even have to do that. Request a waiver of penalty on line 54. I haven't requested many, but I've never had one denied, and with the death of a spouse, the waiver is practically guaranteed. -
You've answered your own question.

Reviewing another's return prep on-screen?
Slippery Pencil replied to Jennison's topic in General Chat
Right click on a field. There are three options in the popup menu that may be sufficient for what you want to do: Insert/Edit Note Tick Marks Mark as Estimate Under Tick Marks, you can mark a field as needing review and then you can insert a note as to why you think the field is incorrect. -
"Clear" is a far cry from how the irs has gone about issuing and changing guidance on this issue. But the guidance currently states: Nowhere in the guidance does it state a company is not to file 1099Ks for amounts under $5000. There's also the fact that the irs guidance doesn't change the law, which says the threshold is $600.
-
That's not what the law says. Amounts of $5000 and above are required to be reported.

Having a backup Authenticator on your desktop!
Slippery Pencil replied to orst88's topic in General Chat
I use a browser based authenticator. It completely eliminates the 2F aspect of this. One of many reasons these laws are asinine. -
I'm in Farmington, a suburb of Detroit. About 25 miles from Brighton.

Thank you, and good night

So I must have just glossed over some stuff. Thanks for confirming the OP and that he might not be overreacting. -
Did he not have a brokerage account in 2022?

I'd like to see those hints as I've missed them all and am willing to bet you're overreacting. -
Support has sucked the 24 years I've used this program. 20 years ago the tier 2 support was good once you were able to get transferred to them after 3 hours on hold or they called you back after 4 days, but the fact that you had to deal with tier 1 for an hour or two knowing full well they wouldn't be able to solve the problem was atrocious.

What does that even mean? I don't think you're making it easier. You had a sale of $2k. The part was replaced under warranty. The part manufacture replaced the part for free. Thus there was no additional cogs for the part. You paid your employees. As Judy said, whatever dollar amount you actually paid your employees is a deductible expense. Whatever the employee hourly rate and shop hourly rate are (and whatever you mean by those terms) is irrelevant. What you actually paid gets deducted. When they're paid to do the original job, the actual amounts paid are deducted. When they're paid to replace the part under warranty, the actual amounts paid are deducted. When they're paid to sit around twiddling their thumbs because there are no jobs in the shop, the actual amounts paid are deducted.
-
Yes. Why do you think employee wages may not be deductible?

Actually it wasn't until the TRA of 97 that the tax code started to change frequently. Prior to that the big major change was 86.
