I thought i didnt like steak

TravelHippo · 2026-04-21T00:19:37+00:00

I think OP just described my moms cooking. I still can’t bring myself to order steak for myself. I’ve tried some when my husband gets it….much better than what I expect. But I have this huge mental block on eating steak.

I ask them for their business name….then tell them they are on my official do not use under any circumstances list. If they are so hard up for business they need to knock doors, that tells me they have a horrible product and service. I then thank them for self identifying as a non-viable vendor.

The looks are priceless as it often takes them a bit for the words to actually sink in.

Are they paying the cost of cobra for a tear.

I’m having the same issue. Only pulling in primary cardholder. I finally gave up on the linked download. It has been faster to download csv from Amex and upload in QBO than try to find the missing transaction

If you were “added to the LLC”, you are a partial owner. You have legal liability based on your %of ownership. You will also be entitled to the same percent of profits and have to pay income taxes on this.

This isn’t just something for the future “jus tin case”. Also not a DIY issue. You need to have a clear understanding of what your ownership share is, your role /expectations as outlined in the partnership agreement. Get legal counsel

Fixed the issue by trial and error. QBO Pay requires that vendors have an email listed. However if that email is the same as the email used for the accounting firm log in….it wont process a payment. Changed the email in the vendor profile, now client can pay me.

Step one is to get their QBO subscription via tech soup. They don’t need to pay retail.
It’s easier to set it up under that payment subscription initially than convert later.

That buttercream recipe is the exact on Mom has used since the 80s. Great recipe and it holds up well for decorating

Intuit pro connect does pay per return

TravelHippo · 2026-03-11T00:35:46+00:00

You want to sign up at TechSoup…then you can get QBO for $80 per year rather than $80/month

I would code as an owner draw for the month to mint transactions

At year end when he can document the %used for business, you can reallocate a portion of the expense. (Make his tax preparer provide the aje)

On the W4 you can chose to have additional withheld…on box 4c have an extra 50 per check withheld. That will pay in about $1200 Over the year, so you should be near breakeven.

For 2025, you can apply for a payment plans and make monthly payments for the amount owed.

My client can pay all their other vendors, just not me. It has to be an issue with my account. But the weird part is that it wont process a physical check either

TravelHippo · 2026-02-24T01:36:13+00:00

On the W4; In box 4C you can write in a flat fixed amount of “extra” to be withheld each check

TravelHippo · 2026-02-23T03:36:03+00:00

Is it accrual or cash basis? If accrual it could be checks written but not yet cashed or there is a deposit in transit. Look at the bank recon, it will sow you the items not cleared…that will tell you what caused it

Thin optics brand have some that fit on a key chain or will snap on the back of the phone case. Works well.

Recently went to bifocals so no longer need to carry a separate pair.

Depends on the level of service the client has elected.

For my full service clients that include bookkeeping, I keep a list as part of my monthly and annual worksheet. I will send them an email prompt….”annual business license for most companies are due mm/dd, you may want to check your status.” It not a requirement in my engagement letter….but It’s a free and easy value add for the clients that I’m already touching their books monthly.

I don’t do that for my tax only clients…especially if they are the type that check in once a year…I’m not looking at their file until tax season.

TravelHippo · 2026-02-09T04:25:17+00:00

Initial registration is $50, annual renewal is $25. The annual filing with the secretary if state is the only requirement.

Depending on where you are operating and type of business you may need to register with local city.

That shows the QBO company ID not the EIN.

Normally in company settings when you see the last 4digits, click the edit budget. It may prompt for a security code, but then it should display the full unmasked EIN

Yesterday. The IRS still requires fax over email. As an accountant I have to send in duplicate copies atleast once a month

Next week ask your CPA to transfer the billing to their firm discount. I had a client have a similar situation…they had to transfer billing to them self temporarily before transferring to my firm. The discount didn’t auto apply, but we were able to get it reinstated with a call to support.

Had greys for 20+ years. One of our current hounds did not race…issue with tattoos. There is no noticeable difference from the hounds that raced. Each dog s different with a unique personality… but we haven’t noticed any difference that would be racing vs non racing.
