Your question may be moved
Your question may be moved to the Consumer Questions Discussion Forum because you have not updated your profile to provide any information about your level of experience/background as a professional tax preparer. You seem to have edited the boilerplate to remove the "I am a CPA" part, without actually adding anything about what you actually are - tax pro, not a tax pro, EA, not an EA, level of experience, etc. As a result, your question may be perceived as not complying with the guidelines established for TaxAlmanac and the tax forum, which are intended for use by tax professionals only. (This is consistent with the info in Step 2 of the four steps to "asking a new tax question.)
If you are a tax professional, please update your profile (user page), to provide some info about your experience level/background as a tax professional. Select edit at the top of that page, replace the boilerplate with your info, and then click Save page.
Your level of experience may be an important consideration when users are developing an appropriate answer for your questions. Beyond that, though, some users won’t respond at all if your profile hasn’t been updated, and as you’ve seen, having no profile leaves your question subject to being moved out of the professional tax forum. (Once your profile has been updated, one of the moderators can move your question back to the professional tax forum if that’s appropriate.)
Note – updating your profile is just one of the four steps in “asking a new tax question” – if you skipped any of the other steps as well (e.g., searching the archives, familiarizing yourself with TaxAlmanac), please do that now, too.
If you are not a tax professional, please ask your question on the TurboTax website or consult your tax advisor. If you don't have a tax profesional that you work with regularly, information about finding a local tax advisor can be found here: How to find a local Tax Professional.

Your question has been moved
Your question has been moved to the Consumer Questions Discussion Forum because it does not appear to comply with the guidelines established for TaxAlmanac and the tax forum, which are intended for use by tax professionals only.
You may wish to ask your consumer tax question at the TurboTax Live Community: http://turbotax.intuit.com/support/.
As you are not a tax professional, you will likely be advised to seek out a local tax professional who will have the opportunity to understand your entire business and/or tax situation and can provide both advice and follow-up. This is not simply a brush-off, it's because (a) simplistic answers to questions that are more complicated than you may even realize can be more dangerous than helpful to you, and (b) the users on this site actually make their living helping people like you answer questions like yours, and are not always inclined to do the same thing for free.
If you do not yet have a tax preparer, you might find How to find a local Tax Professional to be helpful.
You are, of course, welcome to use the yellow search box (left side of screen) to look for info that might be helpful to you in better understanding the issues you face. And, once in a while, the tax professionals who come to this site to interact with each other will also help out non-professionals, but often the situations that are presented are not the kind that can be answered in a quick post or two.
(If you are a tax professional, you need to update your user page to provide some information about your level of experience and background/credentials as requested in step 2 of asking a new tax question, and then your question could be moved back to the tax forum by a moderator. While you're waiting for that to happen, please be sure to search the discussion archives, and also review Pub 17 and other standard research resources that provide answers to common questions.) But otherwise, please consider asking this, and future, questions at www.Turbotax.com. Thank you.
