Randall Posted March 20, 2019 Report Posted March 20, 2019 Just did my 2nd deceased return. On the first one, I wondered why the Deceased date didn't show up at the top. It did on my state (Ky). I now noticed (with this 2nd one) it is at the bottom of 1040 page one. Not the bottom of the page but at the bottom of the printed portion (mid page). I think someone else wondered about the notice not being there so I wanted to post this. 2 Quote
grandmabee Posted March 20, 2019 Report Posted March 20, 2019 Yes, that is where it is showing up. ATX tech support said that was a new law from IRS but for some reason none of the other big tax software, Lucert, Drake, Tax pro still puts in on the top of 1040. Hmmmm wonder why only ATX must follow this new rule. 1 Quote

grandmabee Posted March 26, 2019 Report Posted March 26, 2019 Well ATX has now fixed it to show up on top of 1040. Quote

Randall Posted March 26, 2019 Author Report Posted March 26, 2019 Hmmm. Just put in a DOD on a living client just for fun. The deceased and DOD still showed up at bottom of printing section on page one. Quote

Hmmmm wonder why only ATX must follow this new rule. --> "new law from IRS" <-- Sounds like whomever you spoke with at ATX tech support was just making it up as they went along. How many times do tech support people of all stripes just say whatever comes to mind to get us off the phone when they don't have a script applicable to the situation? Rather than actually check for an answer, they just blurt out some nonsense and hope you won't challenge them. Speaking of deceased clients, my number of those seems to be increasing exponentially each year. 1 Quote
TAXMAN Posted March 28, 2019 Report Posted March 28, 2019 Just did one today and the deceased stuff still at bottom of page. I wonder where ATX corrected it as their notes say they did. Quote
Randall Posted March 29, 2019 Author Report Posted March 29, 2019 What is the IRS official position? There doesn't seem to be much room at the top of the form. But the print at the bottom is pretty small. Quote
PapaJoe Posted March 29, 2019 Report Posted March 29, 2019 In Drake my deceased spouse had the word "deceased" and the date printed in the box with the deceased spouse's last name. 1 Quote
