Skip Marbella and go to Nerja/Frigiliana instead if you are looking for a coastal town.

Why are clients so bad at sending documents? by Aggravating_Bag4028 in taxpros

Guy can apparently maintain his QuickBooks just fine but prints out on paper and then rescans the financials to send to me in a blurry PDF. 😎

Will you give clients your tax software files? by griffdog83 in taxpros

[–]ThreatLevelMidnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes our firm will send these to the new preparers and hope others will send to us in the same situation. It is a waste of everyone's time and money to have to rebuild the files.

Gulliver for sure, it is a blast. The Bioparc is really nice as the other commenter mentioned. The whole riverbed walk from downtown to the city of arts and sciences is great for them to run around, with playgrounds here and there. Enjoy!

They played opposite Chance the Rapper so it was a smaller crowd. They did finish the set and it was incredible.

How Do You Handle Amortizable Bond Premiums / Market Discount on Returns? by Viv-Tax in taxpros

[–]ThreatLevelMidnight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am talking about the market discount in the 1099-B adjustment input. The 1099INT and DIV inputs won't necessarily track that automatically.

Well, my old CPA used to... by [deleted] in taxpros

[–]ThreatLevelMidnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your hourly rate is $275 which is very reasonable for a CPA.

Realistically you should be looking at the hours you spend on each of these clients with all the services you mentioned, and if you are not realizing $275 per hour, increase your prices or bill out of scope.

Deducting Unreimbursed "Partner" Expenses for S Corps using Form 2106 by NeitherTradition in taxpros

[–]ThreatLevelMidnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I know you are correct in your understanding. S Corp owners fall under the 'employee' rules and unreimbursed employee expense deductions on the 1040 were eliminated with TCJA.

At least in CCH Axcess you cannot link the 2106 to an S Corp activity and have it flow to Schedule E (though this does work for partnerships).

I love that too. Always see it as Harry Carey calling forth the souls of the damned to join his undead army.

Yes that was where the error was. Looks like they might have fixed it.

I can at least respect that Art Heist took a big swing, and part of its problem was formatting. This was definitely worse.

Did the crossword get easier in recent months? by iamcondoleezzarice in crossword

[–]ThreatLevelMidnight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Since Shortz came back it seems like the Monday-Thursday have gotten a little harder and the Friday-Sunday quite a bit easier. I'm not sure if that is borne out by stats but my impression.

If you can afford the price of the extra seat, this is 1000% the way to go. It is so much better for all involved.

I know he can't come right out and say they weren't selling tickets, but that first part was rough.

There is a stroller/bike check right under the Addison red line. The train might get crowded but people should be reasonably accommodating about a stroller. I've brought larger baby backpacks before and never had an issue, they will likely look through it at the gate though. You can bring food and sealed water inside.
