Why do I hear Wayne Newton in my head? Hope I could get to sleep tonight.

I wish Ford GM, DC, etc. still supported their old pieces, but they do not. I would not mind paying the original list price for a business couple to cut up as shown in my image... I'd even pay triple list price. Now if my wife would let me race the thing in white chinos, a white t shirt, and a Sam Brown belt, I could recreate the photo. There was something awe inspiring then about the safety in the car being rolls and rolls of tape around the steering wheel and self welded cage. I still favor a very thick wheel as the stockers just feel too thin. Back then, the cars lasted a decade or more as they were tanks. The occupant, after a crash, not so much - there was zero give in those things, and the walls were either solid concrete or 2x4 (and you did not want to have a board come in!). I would not mind having back my 68 hemi roadrunner I paid $600 for in the late 70's. BUT, progress can be good, as evidenced by my daughter noticing all of the air bags in our modern car today. Heck, even an old racer like me appreciates antilock brakes and traction control, as the connection between my eyes, brain, and feet just is not as fast as it once was. I do still drive a Jeep with a clutch, but even that has air bags (but sadly, no antilock or TC. I allow that guilty pleasure as a fair trade from sticking to four wheels for the last three decades (on public roads anyway). I guess I can live the old, and accept, even appreciate and rely on, the new.

Vogelscheiss!

IT SUCKS! I remember how I had and liked Windows 98 in all my offices, and they did the same then. Imagine if Ford or GM did that...My 2004, F150 would be kaputz......ShisenFogel's...

Employee W2 SSN masking is coming soon... Employers and employees will now have to do verification work, since employees will no longer have a way of knowing what SSN their withholding was credited to. While having a SSN compromised is not fun, human error will cause more trouble.

Does anyone else remember a point in time when you had to buy a TV gadget convert to digital TV, well there is nothing we can do but to accept change.

Intuit is doing the same thing for QuickBooks desktop. We changed the last computer to Win10 this past summer.

While I don't recommend using W7 after 2/20, even with the paid support, the truth is W7 does not end until 2/23 (because of the ability to pay for extended support), so the above policy is ----- (fill in term of laziness or misunderstanding).

Please refer to the Upgrade Your Windows® 7 page for more detailed information and instructions on upgrading.

Hah! They won't. Then they'll expect us to "fix" the mismatch letters. And probably SSA reporting, too - 'cuz somehow it will be "our" fault. Example: my church gave employees six weeks' notice to double check their addresses (all seven of them). AND the church secretary reminded people at staff meetings at least THREE times. Of the two people who moved that year, ONE checked - and told the new address AFTER the deadline but at least before we mailed W2s. The other's was returned to the church office; forwarding time expired. You can't fix clueless.

Can't think of a single reason why they wouldn't be income just as if they were Nonemployee Compensation. Lynn - sorry but I can't give you a straight answer. Financials are all messed up. For example, some 1099s have joint recipients.

No. They are payments from the insurance companies for services performed as a medical professional. If there are some payments in Box 3, they should probably be included, as well.

IMO (totally unresearched), there is no difference between the 1099-MISC box 7 and Medical Payments box (whatever # that is). They are both counted as income. Does he have financials that reflect income at least, or more than, the total of the 1099-MISC and 1099-K issued to him? Lynn

Yeah...Right on, Max...

Does anyone by any chance own an old toyota landcruiser, in their garage or barn and is willing to sell it?
