Pat another way of saying it is "if you are married on the last day of the year 12/31/06 is as if you are married for the whole year."
Like wise if you die on the first day of the year it is as if you were alive the whole year.Comment

Straight-forward answers?
Mr. Pat, you've got to be kidding. Jainen can be helpful when he wants to but he answers questions with riddles. Your question about marriage is about as easy and straightforward as it can be. You're lucky he hasn't answered. You'll hear more about divorce than marriage, more about decades than years and more about claiming Eskimos than claiming your wife...Originally posted by Mr. PatComment

I mean I have my little secret decoder ring and it helps clarify his posts quite nicely. For $10.95 I wil mail you one, it works wonders.

a simple matter
>>he answers questions with riddles<<
Mr. Pat is remembering my answer to his previous post about a domestic partner deducting mortgage interest. I'm repeating it here, Snaggletooth, so you can explain what the riddle is.
*************
"Generally you can't deduct interest unless you are legally required to pay it. There is one theory, based on a court case rather different from your situation, that a co-owner must keep up mortgage payments to protect her partial ownership interest.
Usually my clients with such an arrangement will agree that one partner pays the mortgage and the other pays equivalent value in utilities, insurance, and other housing costs. Alternatively they will add the second name to the loan, a simple matter."Comment
