Thanks for your answer to my question!
Duplex printer
Hey, Pink - you posted your latest question (about duplex printers) as an article rather than as a discussion question. I'll paste the text below in case you want to copy it into a new discussion (or add it to one of these discussions: duplex printer) rather than letting it languish as a research article.

Your text: "I use a HP Laserjet 4200 with almost 900,000 copies on it. Still works fine but am considering using a duplexing laser printer to save paper cost, storage and mailing fees. I like to have a paper copy to have my returns audited by staff and keep this for my file copy. I E-file 99.9% of returns and of course supply client with a printed copy. I keep copies of prior years on hard drive and remote backup with Carbonite. Does anyone have any pros or cons regarding this type of machine. Thanks for any info you might contribute."

Thanks for the laugh! I hope you don't mind the "Pinky" reference; it just seemed natural in that situation. Natalie 18:02, 12 November 2008 (CST)Natalie
Farfel
Late wife and I adopted Farfel in 1994 two days after our old dog passed away. She was one of 13 in a litter; there were nine left at the local SPCA. Several years later, at Photos with Santa day there, we met her brother Arthur, though the meeting produced lots of growling and barking. Wife wanted to name her Falafel and I wanted to name her Fax so we settled on Farfel, the dog in the Nestle commerical ages ago.....they would sing "N-E-S-T-L-E-S, Nestles makes the very best" and then say, 'Sing it Farfel" and this hound would open its mouth and sing CHAWKLATE. We'd not seen the Seinfeld show but were told about it often.
I love talking about 'the Farfs' as I called her; she was an Old English combined with an Irish Setter. My new adopted friend, Watson, is an Old English combined with an Otter Hound and is smaller than Farfel but 70 lbs and will howl and sniff like a hound, but is possessive like a sheepdog and can stare down rabbits and cats like the latter.
To sign, you put four ~ in a row.

IL S corp
Hey PP...you asked: Hi JR1...hope you can clear something up for me. I have a new (one shareholder who is Illinois resident) Sub S client in Illinois with a profit in 2008. Because he is Illinois resident and will pay tax on profits on his Illinois personal return can the income be eliminated at the Illinois Sub S level by using Sch B? I do this with Illinois partnerships and assume Sub S is the same. Thanks for a reply if you get the chance.
The S doesn't work like the 1065 in IL...so the short answer is, no, you can't.
Your watermarks discussion
Hi, Pink -
I moved your recent discussion about putting watermarks on client copies out of the tax forum and into the business growth community forum today. It was on pg 5 of the tax forum, seemingly heading into obscurity, and since we're using the bus gr forum for practice management topics now, too, I thought it might stay active a little longer over there. (Plus it'll still pop up in future searches no matter which forum it's in.)
If you want it moved back to the tax forum, please let me know.
Thanks,

Changing discussion title
To fix the title, you open the discussion, and go to the "move" tab at the top of the page. It shows you the existing title, and you type in the new one and a reason for the change.
Two things to watch out for: (1) Be sure to keep "Discussion:" at the start of the name, and (2) if someone else has the discussion open when you change the name, and then posts, their post may go either to the "old" named discussion or into oblivion. So as a rule of thumb, you either want to do it right away or when there's low traffic on the site.
Anyhow - that's for your future reference, as I've made the change you asked for!

IL 1065/1000
Hey Pink, and here I thought it was Jerry from Utah asking about that, which confused me deeply. In any event, haven't had to do a 1000 yet, but I read it like you do. As long as the income is reported and paid on the 1000, then it would reduce taxable to IL on the 1065. Weird, but that's how it is. I guess because it's actually out of state income, so it shouldn't be double taxed. That's how I get it. JR1 Jeff
IL S corp dissolution
Hey PP, no, I'm not aware of a downside to just letting the state dissolve it legally. There's actually an upside: should your client decide to ever reinstate that corp and begin doing biz again, they can do that, usually for less money than creating a new corp. It's a legal question kind of, so I'll defer that part to the beagles. Do realize that that has nothing to do with filing the 966 and liquidating it for the IRS. Jeff JR1
TaxWorks
Interested in that TaxWorks discount if I decide to use that program. How do I go about the discount and what will be the final price?
