Form 1099-G

Form 1099-G not accepting year as 2021 even though it is the 2021 form

[PATAX]

If it is for unemployment compensation, do you have to enter the year? I think doesn't it assume it is the current year for unemployment compensation. If not then you will have to wait for an update. Just my opinion.

[Just-Lisa-Now-]

Yea, looks like it still needs an update.  It auto populates 2020 and the line below that mentions 2019, so it looks like the worksheet just hasnt been updated yet.

Opening day just over a week away - who is brave enough to e-file😮

[PATAX]

I will wait and let the other ones become Sir Braveheart or whatever his name was. I always wait until the first week of February, if clients have ants in their pants, then they can get lost. Just my opinion.

[IRonMaN]

You don't want clients with ants in their pants.  Once they leave the office you have to call in an exterminator and those guys don't work for free.

Yeah you're right. I have some extra Seresto flea and tick collars for Heidi, and maybe I will put that around their necks. They will think it's some new fancy trendy necklace, and I will be doing them a favor.😉👍🐕

[IRonMaN]

Well, with their fancy new necklaces, your client base should be easy to identify when you are out and about around town

[PATAX]

When I see some of them around town, I just pretend like I have amnesia. Because you know they always have questions to ask and get some free advice.😉

[IRonMaN]

Get one of those old taxi cab meters and hook it on your belt.  Once they start asking, pull down the lever to get the meter started.  After a couple of bills, they will start leaving you alone.

That sounds like something Sven or Ole would do!

[IRonMaN]

Every now and then they do come up with a good idea.

[Fredtax]

Do not have any returns ready. Anyone with investments will not be ready before Feb 15th, probably a good thing

[PATAX]

Yea, how many times have we received corrected 1099 forms from the brokerage houses, etc.. Some clients get a corrected form almost every year it seems.

[IRonMaN]

I have a client that received a corrected 1099 the last two years from his investment peoples in September.  Thanks for getting that updated so timely😯

[PATAX]

@IRonMaN if you had to correct that return, after getting the corrected form(s) in September, if you charged for preparing corrected return, did you send the bill to the entity that was responsible for the issue of the corrected 1099 form in September?

[IRonMaN]

The net tax difference wasn't big enough to mess with so no need to amend either year.  But really, these places sometimes have no concept of time or deadlines.
