As a result my client born 01-01-1961 should be eligible for the Senior Discount. My software calculated it but it is rejected at efiling. Have you experienced this?

The CT DRS allows software companies to file the amended CT 1040. For some reason Drake has not taken them up on this. I ask you all to submit your feedback to the following email and ask them to include this feature next year.

Client now wants to be an LLC. Attorney is saying they have to file a tax return for the S-Corp for this to happen. I have no idea!

How do you change from an S-Corp to LLC?
