Ethan Mitchell4 said:Mine wouldn't process today because my software was being weird and kept dropping the leading zero from the Tax ID. So, the company has an ID starting with 045xxx, but the program was just reading it as 45xxx. I ended up typing it in manually and it went through just fine.

Lili, I have one vendor where the ID starts with a letter followed by numbers, and it processed without any issues. I spent way too much time stressing over it before realizing they actually use an alphanumeric ID—I honestly thought it had to be digits only. To be clear, I'm talking about the actual Tax ID, not the state code.

Thanks, that's super helpful. 👍
I haven't run into one starting with a letter yet, but at least now I won't lose my mind if one pops up 😁

Oh, Vladimir Putin...

Look, I don't need an itemized receipt for some ancient history from a million years ago... 🙄

🤣

Carol Price4 said:Henry Edwards33, I think you grabbed the wrong quote there— 🙂 honestly, it might be time to just head to the casino, you missed your window, haha

🤦
We’re beyond the point of even using a facepalm emoji here. 🙂

Yeah, definitely a bad quote. 😁

I suppose Raymond Martinez10 will figure it out eventually. 😂

Don't talk to me about the GO. 🙄
I've handled most of the GO myself, except for a few days when I was traveling. Give me a break with that GO nonsense. 🙂

Raymond Martinez10 said:I suspect we’re going to see some new statistical exchange rate introduced soon—strictly to satisfy VAT requirements. Honestly, I don't see any other way they'll manage to sync up all the different states to verify if a taxpayer actually reported their goods deliveries or acquisitions correctly.

Are you sure you aren't seeing the country code pop up in two different spots on the form?
In that other little box over there, you don't even use letters—it's just digits...

Raymond Martinez10 said:One of your clients?

Yeah, 🙂

They’re killing me. Slowly but surely. 🤣

Raymond Martinez10 said:Were you implying I should pick you? 😉

😲

I’m all sweetness and light, really 🙂

But I'm losing my mind here because some people just can't plan two steps ahead. They're already falling behind before they've even started. 🙂

😢

Vladimir Sabrati 😘

Get a grip, 🙂

Just ignore the posts that are getting under your skin and go grab yourself a stiff drink 😉

Solid.

Give us a heads-up once you hear back from the IRS so we can finally close this thread (assuming they actually get back to you).

I will. If or when I hear anything at all. 🤣

If anyone knows... 🙂

🤷
What part is tripping you up? Drop the link so we can wrap our heads around it together. 😉

A taxpayer brought in some imports back in July (sourced from Italy), and the invoice doesn't include any sales tax—it just carries a specific tax exemption code for intra-community transfers. Everything would be perfectly fine if they had already been assigned a Tax ID at the time. However, they didn't actually receive their official registration from the IRS until August.
How should this invoice be recorded in the books and then reported on the sales tax return?

Thanks!

If they didn't have a Tax ID, they were supposed to pay the tax upfront. It wouldn't make sense to try and report it as a tax-free acquisition on the pdv-obrazac because, technically, you didn't have the legal standing to process it that way at the moment of the transaction.
Personally, I’d pick up the phone and talk to them to get the records synced up. You don't want a mismatch where the acquisition shows up on one side but not the other. I’d ask them to just issue a corrected invoice.

Just shoot them an email. I dealt with a super sweet lady over at customer service who reached out to let me know they were having some technical glitches, then gave me a ring later to say they’d cleared everything up and told me to try resubmitting the form. Such a sweetheart 😍

Jessica Grant56 said:Honestly, nothing bothers me anymore—that isn't the issue. I've got plenty of games to watch, and I usually know they'll end 1-0 in my favor anyway... It's fine if you don't delete it, really, but... this used to be our little quiet corner, and we didn't have any Luka here. And now? Are we all supposed to sit here and cry about it collectively?!? You know, Orsat once said: San Francisco sails on, San Francisco washes against the barren rock, just to hide its freedom...

You aren't just a chatterbox. You're actually worse than that, but somehow you're forgiven... Now if I could just figure out how to use that big grin emoji...

The emoji didn't work... And for what it's worth, I wouldn't trade you for anyone else!

The emoji didn't load because the IMG tag is missing. 😉
You can fix it two ways:
1. Manually type (image) after it.
2. Click the yellow icon with the little mountain at the top of the editor window, and the forum will generate the code for you.

Terry Johnson3 said:You’re being incredibly clever by trying to dilute my point. My people aren't complaining about vague things; they're dealing with very specific issues regarding Synesis.

You clearly missed the point. I’m not silencing anyone who actually stays on topic and acts like a decent human being.

You’re undermining your own interests. For example, you moved a few posts over to the chat that don't belong here at all, simply because they offered solid pros and cons regarding book programs. Meanwhile, you leave in random nonsense about onions and peppers that has absolutely nothing to do with this thread. That isn't moderation; it's just playing favorites.

Besides, you’re being incredibly vindictive. Just because I called you out, now you're banning me over every little thing while letting everyone else slide. Look at the sheer amount of insults—both direct and passive-aggressive—on this thread right now.

Like I already told you, you can report any posts you think need a look or some actual consequences.

That’s how you play games with little kids. If you actually moderated properly, there wouldn't be any need for complaining.

I was clearly trying to say it’s a total load of crap, and honestly, I don't care if I get banned for it. I weighed the pros and cons, and then I just called out the stupidity for what it is. 😁

I’ve never called anyone an idiot, nor do I feel the need to vent my frustrations on internet forums.

I don't care if you talk about other programs or point out their flaws, as long as you keep it civil and follow the rules. Try playing it that way for a while and we'll see how things go. 😉

I’m out here putting in the work the whole time, but apparently, that’s an issue for you and Pupil’s little clique. That's when the personal attacks start—the constant insults and the total fabrications about garages and whatnot.

You don't seem to realize that I genuinely have no desire to get into an argument with you. 🤷
If people want to complain, let them. Feel free to share those complaints if you feel the need. Just try adjusting your rhetoric and your tone. If you tweak your style a bit, things will go much smoother for everyone.

We've gone over my moderation style more times than I care to count. I'm done talking about it.
I moved some posts instead of deleting them just so we could talk without the constant fear of getting banned. It was a calculated move on my part.

Moving forward, I don't plan on explaining my decisions anymore. At least not in this thread.
I get that you think I'm unfair, vindictive, or whatever other labels you want to throw at me.
I've tried, on several occasions, to explain my reasoning, but we're clearly speaking different languages. You aren't going to change your mind, and I'm not asking you to; I'm just saying I'm tired of playing this game. It feels like I'm just chasing my own tail.

If you want to make your life a little easier, just head over to your profile settings and add anyone who’s getting on your nerves to your ignore list. Once you do that, their posts just vanish from your view. It’s much better for your mental health. 😁

I decided to switch topics because I’m not interested in deleting anything. Clearly, some people feel a desperate need to clarify things, so they can go ahead and talk themselves in circles if they want. It doesn't bother me at all, as long as my other threads stay clean.
Talking isn't really an issue for me. You know better than anyone how much I love to ramble and how much I can overexplain things when I get going. 🤣

Just look for the ignore option and click it. Trust me, it’s worth it. 😉

unrecognized entity already laid it all out for you here.

Ignore - hide posts from specific users whenever you want.
If there's someone on the forum who’s driving you crazy, you can choose to ignore them, which essentially makes their posts invisible to you. To do this, just visit their profile (click on their username) and select User lists > Add to ignore list. They won't get a notification that you've blocked them, and they'll still be able to see what you post.

Henry Edwards33 Asks:
That's a weak argument. You're claiming Synapse is garbage, yet you admit you haven't used it in ages. How exactly is that supposed to be a valid take? 🤷
That isn't an actual argument.

You aren't even reading my arguments, which is a shame because they’re airtight. Just because I haven't used the software lately doesn't mean I'm out of the loop. I talk to plenty of people on a daily or weekly basis—mostly accountants and service technicians—and I'm constantly hearing their complaints.

Who exactly is trying to shut you up? 🙂

So, what you're saying is that every single word I say carries weight, yet anyone else can complain about me or insult me whenever they feel like it? You just sit there and don't sanction the personal attacks.

It’s far from perfect. Claiming that I’m insisting things are flawless or that I’m ignoring posts is just poking the bear to get a reaction out of me. Honestly, I don't go looking for perfection in anything in life. I'm not a complete idiot. 🙂

Just because I haven't used it lately doesn't mean I'm out of the loop. I deal with plenty of people I talk to regularly—mostly accountants and service techs—and I'm constantly hearing their complaints.

I hear those complaints all the time too. You ask someone a simple question like, "How's it going?" and you get hit with a barrage of grievances. People love to complain. They love to broadcast how hard life is. Not everyone does, but a good chunk of them do.

So basically, every word I say carries weight, while anyone else can complain or insult people as much as they want. You don't do anything about personal attacks.

I'm not silencing you. 🤣
Unfortunately, you haven't quite grasped how the system works. I don't shut down anyone who stays polite and sticks to the topic. Like I told you before, you can report any posts you think need a look or some discipline. Reports go to all five moderators in the Department, the head super-moderator, and three administrators. That should give you an idea of how much weight a report actually carries. Most of us listed there will review reports and act accordingly.
If you get a warning telling you not to do something, and then you go ahead and do exactly that, getting the ban you were warned about isn't really a problem in my book.

A super-mod can tell me, "Henry Edwards33, stop calling user XY an idiot or you'll get a strike for harassment."
If I write a post where I call user XY an idiot, how could a strike for harassment possibly catch me by surprise? 🤷
I was clearly trying to say the situation was stupid, so if I end up with a strike for it, so be it. I weighed the pros and cons and decided to call out the stupidity. 😁

Can we move on from my moderation duties now, or do I need to keep explaining this?

I don't mind people talking about other software or pointing out the flaws in any particular program, provided they do it respectfully and follow the rules. Try using that approach for a while, and we'll see how it goes. 😉

That’s not really an argument—you’re claiming Synapse is garbage, yet you also admit you haven't used it in ages. I don't see how that holds any weight.🤷
To me, this isn't an actual debate.

Who exactly is trying to silence you? 🙂

Steven Reed said:I second this—let’s vote him right out of the lineup. It’s honestly hard to believe it’s only been a few years since we were actually rid of him 😢

A losing coach 😢

I'll sign my name to that, and I just hope we don't have to wait too long 😳

Carol Price4 said:Has anyone else been hit up with an offer for that labor law textbook they claim the Department of Labor actually uses?

Not me. If you have a link, send it over. 😁

Jessica Grant56 said:You just typed out my name—that's enough for someone to get OSPICE!!!

What spam? What thread?

And don't be so dramatic—your favorite forum buddy loves ya...

Look, I'm sorry, but that isn't my concern.

You guys are all way too sensitive and high-strung. 😛

What spam? What topic?

Don't be so dramatic; your favorite forum buddy loves you...

I'm just overwhelmed by all this affection... 🙂

Jessica Grant56 said:Are you seriously breaking the rules the admin set up? This honestly feels like a blatant advertisement!

Where exactly am I seeing a link? Or even a compliment? 🤷

Stop blowing up my notifications in that other thread. 😳

You're going to be the death of me. 😳

honestly, I think your cat chewed through your internet cable.🙂

silentsurfer11 said:Henry Edwards33, try this:
http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/
Just paste it straight from the browser... don't try going through the IRS site... it just kept opening the wrong menus for me. 🙂

Thanks.
The worst part is that I tried pasting the address directly into my browser and nothing happened—it just wouldn't load. Now, suddenly, it’s working perfectly fine using the original link. Typical.
The truth is, they told me they were temporarily unavailable and offered some half-baked apology for the inconvenience. Honestly, I probably just picked the worst possible moment to show up. Then again, that’s kind of my specialty. 🥳

The Atlantic server is down for a bit.

Sorry about the hassle. We know it’s a pain.

Maybe it’s finally time to head home. Even the wind seems to be turning against me. 🤔

Can someone please point me toward the right database for checking out a business partner? I tried using this link from the IRS site, http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/, but it’s just not loading for me.
What am I missing here?

Jessica Grant56 said:He hasn't been around since yesterday—not even all night. I can't tell if they're working behind the scenes and keeping it all under wraps like some kind of secret operation, or if something actually broke down on their end. Though, heaven forbid they actually post an update about it...

Adeline is out of the office right now, so don't go poking the bear while it's sleeping in this 100-degree heat...

The server has been on life support for years now. It’s hardly breaking news at this point. 🤷
They even go as far as organizing charity actions 🤣

I mean, look, you’ve got this, that, this over here... It’s just the same old story. ☕

Adeline is on vacation, so don't poke the bear while it's lounging in the heat...

I’m just not 😢
