That's okay. I got into an argument with some lady that called our office thinking we were the IRS. Mt. St. Hammer had a minor eruption.

You shoulda played along and scared the crap outta her, with "Hmm, I see that you earned this/tried to deduct this last year/etc."

Got my W2, now I just need to find time to get my acct to take care of it. This is where my work shift works against me. If I don't take time off, I have about 45 minutes to get it to him before work and barely make work on time, on a good day, or take time off. His offices are about 20 minutes away from me.

Oregon doesn't let you pump your own gas to preserve jobs. That's the excuse they'll give you, anyway.

It's been on the ballot twice in the past three or four election cycles to change there. When station owners are asked if going from full service to self-serve will drop their prices, they pretty much say no. So the bill keeps getting defeated.

Morning Lodge.

Why the **** do you need an accountant? Aren't you filing a 1040EZ?

Maybe he found an accountant who will help him write off hockey road trips? That or writing off OC against his Fantasy Football winnings would be the only possible reasons for him to itemize.

I also have the rental credit thingy that factors in (you get a couple hundred back from that). I say, if it's worth doing, it's worth paying someone else to do.

I have refined my ideas for the St. Paul Medallion after the most recent clue, I think I was on the right track yesterday, though I wasn't exactly correct. Anyone want to go grab it for me.

edit: Now I know where it is. Thanks to Google maps. Dammit that I have to work. :mad:

I'll keep paying with my credit card that gives me 3% cash back (about $0.10 per gal) not have to go inside and not have to worry about carrying cash. Seems like an all around win for me.

Around Eastern and Central NY, Sunoco has a deal with Price Chopper (a grocery store) that, assuming they still do it, offers 10 cents off per gallon for every $50 in groceries you buy. Granted I don't spend that much in groceries since there's no FlagDUDETTE or Little FlagDUDEs, not to mention I don't like to support things that are based in Schenectady ;) (ALDI's cheaper anyway), but it helps.

The rental credit is for the state return and should be pretty self explanatory. Any half-decent e-file site would capture that on the MN return via the interactive questions posed to you (do you rent or own?), etc.

Yeah, it does. Before I bought the house I went through that, and the efile definitely captured it. I never got the renters credit, because I never had paid enough, but thats a different story. Now that I pay a **** ton and a half in mortgage interest, I'm getting mine. :p
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 143: A Golden ;) Oldie

Not that it's a large sample size but, I have lived in three states. Minnesota's tax form is by far the easiest to figure out; Michigan isn't too far behind. And, as we all know, I was told there would be no math.

I'll do our taxes on Turbo Tax this year because my MiL already pays for it and because Ohio taxes suck. I'll write out my Minnesota taxes by hand.
