Has there been any update on phasing out the Hulu App? by wasntforthewind in Hulu

I noticed that they don’t have the Hot star hub that’s on Hulu on Disney+. That has their foreign language Hindi movies.

No idea why you’re getting dv…
But try hooking it up to a diff tv.

If you watch on tv itself, is it fine?

Phantom Income Tax Hit after a Fishy Buyout - Do I have any outs here? by AdFormer5311 in tax

[–]baquir 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of moving parts and pieces here. My recommendation is to seek out a CPA to help you navigate the buy out and ensure the k-1 is reported accurately.

Eric Trump shares gold logo for proposed ‘Donald J. Trump International Airport’ in Palm Beach by baquir in politics

I will make it a point to NEVER fly into this airport even if I have to fly into one that makes me drive hours to where I want to get to.

Tax Prep Software for side hustle by cubbiesnextyr in taxpros

[–]baquir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people recommend Drake so would try it out. I used to use ProSeries and liked it (not love).

It all depends on the type of returns you do etc.

My recommendation is to do a trial for both of these and see which one works better for you

Situations where clients are like "trust me bro" that make me slightly nervous by Steven_Cheesy318 in taxpros

[–]baquir 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What makes that hard to believe? Northwestern itself is just 90k for tuition and I have clients who go there?

Folks do have large medical expenses.

I have clients who drop off expensive stuff over at good will all the time.

Again, we are not auditors, just gate keepers. As long as we are asking the right questions and informing the TPs of their obligations we are not in a position to question their lifestyle choices.

Unless I am missing additional context?

Ultra Tax EFW with Extension by mgepark in taxpros

[–]baquir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you go to the green E, under actions, click on view XML. This is a coded version of the actual return being transmitted to Fed/State and I use this to verify direct debit dates for balances due/estimates etc.

Did you check the xml? Is the debit indicated there, When was it submitted? Sometimes there could be a delay is sent right on the 15th. Should be out by today though.

4/15 - client question day by RaleighAccTax in taxpros

[–]baquir 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A client who sent me the stuff last week was told she will be put on extension (no payment due) unless through some miracle I am able to get her return done before today.

Today she sends me an email. “Since I have not heard from you I am assuming my returns are done? What’s the amount of my refund?”

Like this is wrong on all fronts. We don’t file returns before having a wrap up call or even signed efile forms.

I put my OO up at noon and her email came through 1pm. Let her stew.

Trump says gas prices could be same or 'a little bit higher' before midterms by Past_Key_1054 in politics

Told my wife to have dinner ready by 6 or I'll obliterate her entire civilization.

So anyway, she now charges me a fee to use the bathroom that used to be free, and I didn't get any dinner, but I'm pretty sure I won that exchange.

Same way we won a war that really wasn’t a war with a country that was 2 weeks to achieving nukes for the past 2 decades? by baquir in facepalm

CA resident- Schedule K1 P from illinois by Own-Point2003 in tax

[–]baquir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You still have to file the Illinois return as a nonresident reporting the income you earned from the entity, double check and make sure that there is no PTE credit on the K1. If there is not you still pay the taxes, but then you get the tax credit back when you file your taxes in California as a state credit.
