jasdlm Posted April 11, 2011 Report Posted April 11, 2011 Client: I got divorced this year. My wife kicked me out and I had to live in my car for two weeks. I want to deduct that. *** Client: I'm a musician. Here is the total amount of money I spent on movies this year. I was doing research. All movies have music. *** Client: I added my fiance as a partner in my business this year so we can deduct our dates. Quote
jainen Posted April 11, 2011 Report Posted April 11, 2011 >>I had to live in my car for two weeks<< Deductible as travel expense if he parked outside the metropolitan area. *** >>All movies have music<< Deductible if he plays show tunes. *** >>we can deduct our dates<< Deductible if she kept a log book.

RitaB Posted April 11, 2011 Report Posted April 11, 2011 I've had three calls and one "drop-in" in the past two business days from people who picked up their returns and signed Form 8879 weeks ago. Apparently, they are now reading their cover letters (which say "we'll e-file when you give us 8879") because they are about to mail 1040-V and checks. They are frantic, "Is there something I have to sign and give you?!" Quote
kcjenkins Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Makes you wonder how they get and keep a job, doesn't it? LOL Quote
