Such questions, in my opinion do not belong on a tax return. Taxes are complicated enough,without adding more confusion with these questions. Why should we as preparers, trying to do an efficient job for our clients, take that extra few seconds to ask this question, or to expain what it means? Wow, what a waist of time during our busy season. The worthiness of the casue is not the issue, it does not belong on a tax return. Also there is no representation from citizens who are not required to file or who pay no tax, unfair indeed.

I'm 100% in agreement!

Retire the national debt

It used to be in the instructions of the 1040 that you could request a refund to go against the national debt or send money.. I always wonderred how many people contributed.

Hi guys:
yes I took a little time off this summer and visited my daughter and family in Hawaii.
I do this (tax prep) as a sideline so have not been on here much lately but its time to get back into the swing of things.

Glad to see that I was missed.

Where've you been? I thought maybe you got lost in the Mojave Desert looking for the"Lost Dutchman" mine.

The Lost Dutchman mine is in the Sonoran Desert, not the Mojave.

it's lost

The Lost Dutchman mine is in the Sonoran Desert, not the Mojave.

If it's lost, how do you know where it is?

Folks:

:
visited my daughter and family in Hawaii.

Ken: Any tips as to how I can get some of my relatives to move to Hawaii so I can go visit them? If they lived there I'd feel more of a social obligation to go see them occasionally (even if I do usually have to co-sign a note when I visit kinfolks).

Gary: I beg your pardon. Say, I think I've already told this one here, but I'll do it again to get myself off the geographical hook. I saw a Jay Leno "Jaywalking" (man-in-the-steet type) interview a while back at an upscale university's graduation ceremony. He asked a new grad (wearing cap and robe) if she could "name the five continents of the world." She: "No, I'm not a geography major. OMG, I hope my dad's not watching this--he'll kill me." Leno: "Okay, can you name just one of them?" She: "Sure. Ours!

jainen: Thanks for the assist. Hereafter, I shall dispense with "VJ" and "doggie."

Good point. I should have said that it is thought to be somewhere in the Superstition Mountains, which are in the Sonoran Desert.

The mine isn't lost, the Dutchman is.
