Her note should have said, "don't call the cops". Then when the cops' chemical analysis came back that it was squash, she could have said, "I told you not to call the cops".

Seriously? That seems par for the course w/ ATX.

The ATX website works as well as the ATX software. I've had numerous problems with it throughout the years and sometimes doing stupid stuff like this works. Surprisingly, I haven't had problems with the website the past few months. Was even able to purchase the software with the advertised discount off their site instead of over the phone for the first time in many years.

Reimbursements from healthcare sharing ministries are not taxable income. If they made excess HSA contributions then withdrew the excess, there's nothing to be concerned with. Why did the HSA even allow the deposits? One year my credit union ignored my instructions and recorded my April HSA contribution as a current year contribution instead of a prior year contribution. When I fully funded the HSA later that year for a current year contribution, the credit union called me and said I couldn't deposit over the limit. They eventually corrected their mistake and allowed the contribution, but the point is that they wouldn't make a deposit that exceeded the limit. Are you sure the account was a HSA?

Voicemail, if it isn't already included in your monthly phone service, tends to cost $5/month. A quick google search indicates some answering services charge by the minute at $1-$2/minute. Others charge a flat monthly fee, starting around $30/month Every time I made a call answered by an answering service, the service was completely useless. Many of these were for doctor offices. The service didn't set appointments and only said to call back during business hours. Once when I called to cancel an appointment, the message was never delivered to the doctor's office. From what I can tell, an answering service will cost you 10 times the cost of voicemail and unlike voicemail, be completely worthless.

Bleached paper, plastic toner. Not stuff I'd want in the garden.

They're not federal wages so they definitely don't go into the federal wages box.

A client made an $8000 extension payment using Direct Pay on 5/17/21. The wife made the payment and used her social security number. The irs didn't credit the payment to their account. Return efiled 6/6/21. Irs sends letter 7/5 saying client owes $7120. We write back with Direct Pay confirmation & proof of bank transfer. Irs sends letter 8/9 stating client now owes $7160. Client is very nervous. Client gets more nervous when they can't get through to irs on phone. For some reason, when I tell client the irs is about a year behind in opening mail, they get more nervous. Client wants to pay amount to stop further notices. We write irs telling them if they opened and processed their mail, they wouldn't be sending us this 2nd notice; however, to end this futile process of receiving IRS notices and sending replies that go unprocessed until the IRS levies client's bank account for tax they don’t owe, here's a check. When you bother to get around to processing this and our previous correspondence and realize you screwed up, apply the $7200 overpayment to the taxpayer's 2021 account. On 1/3/22, a mere 4.5 months from our second letter to the irs, the irs sent a letter, account transcript, and refund check for $7240. Maybe they are catching up. Or maybe this was just a lucky fluke.

I don't believe it does. At 1400+ returns, you shouldn't be considering top tier software, not bottom tier software like ATX.

It's 30 minutes of inactivity for the program to log out.

Of course it will. Just like licensing gets bad drivers off the road and has eliminated corrupt builders. It's amazing anyone opposes this.

I seriously doubt that

$5.25. No probably.

Not if it was filed timely. 2017 due 4/15/18. 3 years is 4/15/21 (extended to 5/17/21 due to covid)

I think there use to be a joint checkbox, but not anymore. You have to split on 2 Sch Cs. I can't remember all the methods I've seen people say they've used. Obviously one method is to put half of everything on 2 separate Cs. One is to put 100% on one Sch C then enter an expense item for 1/2 the profit, either under subcontract or a miscellaneous expense or labor in COGS, then put that amount as the sales amount on the 2nd C.

$1 won't work. The error says the income has to exceed the $1026 withheld. If you don't want to add $1000 to unemployment or miscellaneous, you could add $1000 as a qualified dividend or a ROTH distribution.

Did you use those sites to look for trip info? If so, since it's asking a y/n question, are there y/n options to answer it? If so, click on no, don't X out.

If you have to do all that, you should use a different program.

I'm not going to get a single call on this. I informed my clients of the bill in congress and they all decided to wait to see if it passed. If preparers didn't inform their clients of the situation and went ahead and finished returns, it's hard to feel sympathetic to any problems they brought upon themselves.

The cliff is $150K for all filing statuses. The income needs to be included on the return. The exclusion will be subtracted out separately.

It's the periodic table symbol for silver. Maybe he's struck it rich. It could also stand for Attorney General. Maybe he's going to the AG office to fight all the preparer penalties he was assessed this past tax season.

It's 100% your choice not to put them on extension.
