Top Taxware Questions Answered
At Taxware Systems, we want to help you get tax returns processed quickly and efficiently. Here are the top questions we’ve received during tax season and their answers.
Q: The 8863 amount is not appearing on the 1040! What’s going on?
A: The IRS has added new due diligence requirements recently, not just for Earned Income Credit but also for the American Opportunity Credit and Child Tax credits. The new due diligence can be found in the top left hand corner of the 1040 Line Input, line [03] Due Diligence with a red X if it is required. The questions that need to be answered will be in red. Once the questions are filled out, the box will have a green check mark if the client qualifies.
Q: How do I delete a form?
A: To delete a form that you do not need, simply go to Forms and Schedules and click [88] Clear Forms. Double click on the form that you do not need and it will disappear from the list.
Q: How do I e-File?
A: If you are using the A2A system, our standard way of e-filing, you can do that by clicking on [20] E-File in the Summary Menu. Then go to [02] Print 8879. After the 8879 is printed, the A2A E-File button will light up. Click on the button and a prompt will ask if you want to transmit. Click yes and that is all you need to do. You can check the status of the return by clicking on line [10] ELF Tracker from the main menu.
Q: When I make a change to my preparer or ERO information, it doesn’t reflect on the tax return…
A: Preparer and ERO information are set up outside of your tax returns and are often set up as defaults. To reflect a change made in the ERO or preparer information after starting a tax return, simply re-select the ERO or preparer on lines [04] and [05] of the basic information for that return.
