For tax........Look at this http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-utl/mod_4_-_tax_tutorial.pdf For insurance.........She should ask the insurance agent.

Sorry to say, but I believe change is imminent. Weather a national sales tax or some other tax reform. The complexity of our current tax code is cited by a lot of our young/current congressional leaders. Not to mention the gargantuan cost of the IRS, which they themselves only give their agency a 60% accuracy rate of interpretation. I've read on this board, and the other,... 3, 4, sometimes 5 answers to one tax question. Just look what it's costing the tax prep. industry, software-education-facilities-efile security- etc....... Then some crook in Hoboken steals your refund, because IRS doesn't know who you are. Maybe it's just me....I'm old and have been doing this for 35 years....And yes...Reform has been touted all those years. But........Like a juicy swollen pimple.........It's coming to a head..........

Any of you's remember the tiger roar on ATX... Saber...? When the program started...It would ROAR! ....now I gave my age away......

I go to the corner store to buy some tasty Faygo soft drinks. On the counter is a jar for our local fire work display. I get $ .52 cents back in change, and put it in the jar. The fire works display is thousands of dollars, done by professionals on a beautiful lake. Next 4th of July I get there early for a beach side "free" seat. Professional display est. = $8,000.00 Front row seat est. = $ 25.00 $8,025.00 My investment = ($ .52) Depreation-lawn chair = ($ .04) $ 8,024.44 ....Divided by estimated number of viewers = 3,000 = $ 2.67 My taxable income = $ 2.67 - $ .56 = $ 2.11 Tax on said income = $ .30 Next time I'll take the wife with me.......She remembers to bring the Fagyo.

Jack...............Ignore...............Doesn't Matter................. Some folks just gotta vent...........Remember......It's December 2012....The sky is falling.
