Possi Posted March 25, 2021 Report Posted March 25, 2021 Before I go rogue and not wait for the software, is there any reason I should NOT override the Excess advance payment premium tax credit repayment to ZERO? Quote
BulldogTom Posted March 25, 2021 Report Posted March 25, 2021 Have you tried the override and then create the efile? Any Errors? I don't know if there is a good reason to wait, but I am. We only have 3 with amounts due, and since they are going to get something they did not expect, I think a little patience until the software is updated is OK. But if it works for you I might get them out the door. Let me know how it works. Tom Modesto, CA 1 Quote

BP. Posted March 25, 2021 Report Posted March 25, 2021 I'm going to wait. There might be a "worksheet" for this. 2 Quote

I don't believe there are any ripple effects to this. Any update might have a wksht, but I can easily go back to 2 returns and adjust if I need to do that. It won't change the bottom line. 1 Quote
BP. Posted March 25, 2021 Report Posted March 25, 2021 OK, that's cool, because I just found myself overriding the UC worksheet at the bottom of Schedule 1 to remove the UC from the MAGI calculation. 1 Quote
Pacun Posted March 25, 2021 Report Posted March 25, 2021 I have 2 that owe a few bucks but the non-refundable child tax credit takes care of that. I am going to file as if nothing happened. I have been suggesting that the IRS only programs line 28 (I believe) to 0. So that line should read: Maximum repayment = 0 and be done with it. 2 1 Quote
TAXMAN Posted March 25, 2021 Report Posted March 25, 2021 Yes tend to agree. I have 3 in the hopper for not paying back. Clients say they can wait. 1 Quote

What did you override and were there any issues with e-file? I am starting to get a few piled up and I would like to get them off the pile. Tom Modesto, CA 1 Quote
Abby Normal Posted March 31, 2021 Report Posted March 31, 2021 We know if will work if you discard 8962. Sure, you'll get an IRS notice eventually, but that's easily handled. 1 Quote

We were also trying to bump her payment for taxes due until the deadline, but software isn't updated yet. Hold that thought.... Quote

When I say "other day," that mean three to seventeen days ago. 1 Quote
Possi Posted March 31, 2021 Author Report Posted March 31, 2021 Nope, it won't fly by zeroing out the PTC. We will have to wait for the update... or delete the 8962. I wonder how much trouble that will cause, @Abby Normal? 2 Quote

It's so much more trouble to me than doing a return. First the panic call. Calm down, and bring me the letter. Then the drop off and the 15 minutes to explain how I got this. Then 20 minutes catching up and telling them how Uncle Fred is doing, and hearing about their dog that has an infection. Then, oh yeah, 35 minute conversation for their quick question because they talked taxes with their hairdresser. I fix the problem. Eight months later IRS sends a letter saying, "We got your response, but we lost it..." 5 4 Quote

Trying like everyone else to push these out of here. My Birthday is at the end of April and I'm celebrating big this year, as you know. I'm not sticking around for the May 17 deadline.

The other side of a client getting a notice is that you get to be the hero by solving it quickly and easily, usually at no charge but sometimes there is a charge. Clients remember the panic and how we rescued them and made the big bad IRS go away. Then they send us referrals. 2 3 Quote
BulldogTom Posted April 2, 2021 Report Posted April 2, 2021 So, now I have to wait for guidance from CA. We have our own CA ACA form with its own calculations and it interplays with the 8962. I have a client who owes APTC for Fed but is due additional CA PTC. CA is driving me nuts this year. Texas, Nevada or Tennessee are looking better and better to me all the time.
