I just discovered that the advertising expense is not flowing from the federal to the DC return in my software. Even more surprising, I don't even see advertising as a line item on the D-20 this year. -- << ------------------------------------------------------- >> << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used, >> << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties >> << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer. >> << >> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts >> << to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy >> << are at www.asktax.org. >> << Copyright (2007) - All rights reserved. >> << ------------------------------------------------------- >> Posted by Paul Thomas, CPA on March 13, 2009, 8:00 am Please log in for more thread options > Has anyone prepared a DC D-20 this year yet?

Test this, input an income number and only the advertising cost and see if that isn't showing on that line. -- Paul Thomas, CPA Watkinsville, Georgia -- << ------------------------------------------------------- >> << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used, >> << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties >> << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer. >> << >> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts >> << to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy >> << are at www.asktax.org. >> << Copyright (2007) - All rights reserved. >> << ------------------------------------------------------- >> Posted by mrosen on March 13, 2009, 3:46 pm Please log in for more thread options wrote: > > It should show on Line 24 as Other Deductions. > > Test this, input an income number and only the advertising cost and see if > that isn't showing on that line. > I found out there is an error in our software (Thompson GoSystem). There is an input to manually input the advertising but it's still not flowing to the D-20.

This year we couldn't get the DC D-30 to print a separate DC location address different from the mailing address. In past years we could just override it on the screen but this year they took that option away to "preserve the integrity of the application." -- << ------------------------------------------------------- >> << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used, >> << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties >> << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer. >> << >> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts >> << to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy >> << are at www.asktax.org. >> << Copyright (2007) - All rights reserved. >> << ------------------------------------------------------- >> Similar Threads Posted Liberty Tax penalized $1.16M in case over its advertising July 2, 2009, 8:30 am Gas Expense tax Line??
