Human Depletion Allowance

Human Depletion Allowance is a 30% reduction in your total tax. If you qualify, deduct it as a credit on Line 55. (Note that it is not possible to qualify since it is purely fictional.)

[geekgirldany]

Also note that all states may not recognize the special allowance from Tax Preparer Rest Relief Act of 2002. Therefore you must add back the 30% reduction in tax on line 1056 of page 33 on the states that do not qualify.

Excellent point. I hadn't thought it completely through.

Remember

Women only get a partial credit since they are only 3/4 of a person.

(Just kidding ladies!!)

Extra credit

Actually, Matt, women should get extra if not double the credit. They not only work, but take care of children and the house.

Working mothers ( and grandmothers) should NEVER have to pay taxes.

Great response to my extreme pigginess. Thanks for the laugh!

AND going back in time when humans were created: Adam is missing a rip, Eve is complete, so lets say Adam is 90% of a person?

[Matt Sova]

True, but

Didn't God create Eve out of Adam's rib and a whole bunch of dirt? So Eve would be worth one rib and some dirt.

Cost of dirt

Have you priced real estate lately? Dirt is pretty expensive.

Wait a minute...

By your logic, what do you think Adam was made of...you are right: dirt only, now what?

And the price of dirt when Adam was made was cheaper then the price of dirt use for Eve, you know, increasing prices, even back then.
