You mean we are suppose to worry about that?

Me too. I have been able to send returns but not get acks. That is ok with me.

I just transmitted three returns and received acks on two.

Does she have a personal representative or anyone with power of attorney who you could deal with and who might be able to get you the information from US Bancorp?

I would say the kids gifted the money to the parents and the parents get the credit.

I think my avatar would make a great mascot. Oh, wait. That mascot is already taken by another tax preparation service.

Try taking all of the address out so you only list the employer name and ID number.

Are you sure you have not entered the house in asset entry also?

On the MO-1040 Page 1 the county of residence is NONRESIDENT and the school district number is 347.

How has the LLC elected to be taxed?

I vote for a seperate OT/NT area.

Open ATX 2006 and look up the information on the asset and enter it manually into ATX 2007.

That is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

You get a contribution deduction of $ 50.00 per month that the foreign student lives in your home more than half the month. Sec 170(g).

Try downloading the newest printer driver.

Do you keep a copy in your files of returns you prepare for clients?

I do not send the held return until the federal is accepted. If the federal is rejected I think the piggyback is rejected also. That way I can correct all of them and send again. You can transmit the state only later.

Too late. I was already laughing by the time I read that.

I always piggyback the state with the biggest refund. I hold the other state until the fed is accepted.

Can you delete it out of the efile manager and then recreate it?

Sorry, I will try to be more clear. I was trying not to take up too much of everyone's time. I have a client that sells an item over the internet thru brokers. He is a u s citizen and has a social security number and federal i d number. All of the borkers he works thru are in other countries. He pays them 50% - 60% of the sale amount as a commission. He wants to deduct those commission payments. Normally on commissions, I prepare 1099's for those receiving the commissions if they are unincorporated. These foreign brokers are unincorporated but have no reason (and are not interested in) obtaining social security (or ITIN) numbers. I am wondering if we have to give them 1099's and if so how without social security numbers. Can he deduct the commission expense?

I thought the head count was based on 2007 filing. I have another question. Will this rebate decrease the amount of the taxpayers refund for tax year 2008?

This is what I read: The result was a plan that will deliver tax rebate checks starting in May to anyone earning more than $3,000, with smaller rebates for people with incomes of $75,000 — or $150,000 for a couple — and a $300-per-child bonus. Most taxpayers would get $600 rebates, or $1,200 for couples. Those who earn too little to pay taxes, including senior citizens living off of Social Security or veterans on disability checks, would get rebates of $300 for individuals and $600 for couples.

What do you use for a social security number?

Can you issue a 1099 to the citizen of a foreign country?
