  1. Welcome back, Wayne! :lol:
  2. I like the way you think, Mike.
  3. Having worked for Block in the past with their funky amounts for forms, I wanted nice round numbers in my business. Now, Block does truncate the cents, so at least they were whole dollar amounts. But, I didn't want $129 or $503. I was holding everyone's prices the same, but I did round up to the nearest $5.
  4. Congrats! And, thank you for all your help and humor.
  5. A very :bday:
  6. I remember them all. Depressing.
  7. I vote for round numbers. And, I don't do anything for only $80, nor $79.95 either.
  8. No. You were very, very good. HRB is hoping to get some of your overflow!
  9. I can only speak for myself, but I'm a great procrastinator.
  10. Marvelous Mel's Taxware. No DIYers Allowed Taxware. AntiATX Taxware. Only Pros Taxware or OPT for short.
  11. A very , Kyle. A very , Catherine. Sorry we missed you in October. I think they celebrated mine in September, but I can't even remember what happened yesterday at my age!
  12. Good one, Catherine. And, as for you, Joel, you duplicated a post. I think that means you're really at only 499! :unsure:
  13. Babies around here are assigned their SSNs in the hospital. Have mom go to a SS office. But, call to see how long to wait for it to get into the IRS system. I remember something like one month.
  14. I don't have the type of client that does their own, too complicated. But, I thought about having that button on my web site. Then, I was afraid I'd spend more time answering questions about how to use the software than about how to do taxes and not convert a DIY to me. But, if no one is going to try it out, I can look generous.... So, Catherine, no nibbles at all?
  15. Welcome. With all your various personas (sp?), maybe you really have 1,000 pr 1,500 posts. Anyway, as our newest, you get to pass your bottle around, but you can keep your party hat. Someone told me our convention will be in Vegas. Are you hosting? :scratch_head:
  16. And, please post when you know more. I have a high-income client who started a Simple and will probably be in during February.
  17. Drinks are on you! :P
  18. The bankruptcy estate, it's a separate entity from her. Time to call the recipient of the interest.
  19. Kansas City, MO, also is home to H&R Block. Surprised you taxies didn't mention your neighbor!
  20. Had she not paid interest for awhile? And, then the interest got paid off by the buyer? Was there an auction or sale? Did the estate pay a percentage of the interest she owed?
  21. For CO: 1) Snow 2) Snow 3) Snow I went to a convention in CO (Colorado State University, maybe) the end of June one year; we bussed up to Estes Park on our free time. It started snowing while we were on the bus. The driver had to stop to let the girls from down south get off and play in the snow that they'd never seen for real before!
  22. Ask us a question, Bob...

    OH Acks

    Ive had states rejected when the federal was accepted. CT and NY and not OH, but still the same issue. I'd want to know for sure that I don't need to be retransmitting or fixing a state return.
  24. A very :bday:
  25. Maybe as an ATX customer you can get ProSystem fx as pay per return to prepare this corporation. Definitely look for a mentor. Extend if you have to to be able to be unrushed, as well as not rushing your mentor. Start with things you might have around, like TTB Deluxe or your old accounting book. You already understand the P&L and depreciation and lots of issues, as well as know the client and how he works. The biggy is the balance sheet. Read up on it in an old accounting book or Accounting for Dummies. Don't trust his QB to produce an accurate BS. Build it yourself by asking him questions and researching his ending bank balances, loans in and out, capital assets and corresponding depreciation, etc. Just go down the lines on the BS to see what applies to him. I think starting from scratch is the way to learn with a single shareholder corporation. The starting balance sheet will be all zeros. I actually think C-corporations are the easiest since they stand alone. Either they balance or they don't. If you're lucky, you client has treated it like a corp, like a separate entity, and there won't be undocumented back and forth with his personal accounts like you see with your small Schedule Cs and partnerships. Get his payroll documents. You may have to do or redo his bookkeeping, but you will really know the flow of his company if you do his bookkeeping too. Post here as you have questions. Keep us posted.
