Or, like the sign my younger daughter got me for my desk: "I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you."

Thank you guys for a multiple, laugh out load, morning!

It would have been nice to have had prior notice of this and not get these " Where is my refund. I mailed my return two months ago." calls from clients.

Best practice is to go to the USPS Zip Code Lookup and determine exactly the address should be formatted. Use this exact format (even if it was slightly different on the original return). I've been through this with a few clients. Believe me, it's worth the effort to check the USSPS site before entering address info on the IRS site. https://tools.usps.com/zip-code-lookup.htm?byaddress

Draft 941 form and instructions have been posted in the IRS web site. The new 941 is three pages...

My first summer job was working as in "intern" at a summer enrichment program run by the United Methodist church locally. I got to do a lot of different things, and saw a whole different side of life than I had seen before. I even got to help dig an outhouse! My mother arranged this job for me but I can no longer ask if she did it because she thought it would be a good attitude adjuster for me. I know it was a good experience, and not because I learned to use a shovel.

I'd heard to leave anything such as an apartment, unit, suite, bldg, whatever OFF, just the basic street address. I'll admit I went to USPS to find out how to format XX Upland Terrace which was on the return and did not work, and l found XX Upland Ter which also did not work! That's for an SS only friend. Of course, she has more SS only friends that DID get their direct deposits this week. I'm not getting work done for my real clients with all these frantic phone calls from non-clients!

Pacun, she's not my client nor can she afford to pay me! You are right that the parents would lose more than the child gains. Catherine, I love taking teens to serve on Appalachia Service Project. It's an eye-opener for teens who've never been out of Fairfield County, CT.

While that would certainly be fastest and easiest, the response that would do the kid more good in her life would be a good spanking, along with some mission work in a seriously poor area, to learn how good she really has it.

John, that's pretty profound !

My son, still in college has a NY residence, is a teachers assistant in Indiana, worked summer of 2019 in Massachusetts, and in January 2019 he got paid for his unused PTO from summer of 2018 job in Arizona. A college kid had to file in 4 states. I enclosed a discounted invoice of $675. A few days later I got a text, "are you out of your friggen mind?". I responded with , oh good you got it, sending An invoice was a sure way to know he received it and cheaper than sending certified or UPS.

Phone rings yesterday. I pick up. I know, don't ask me why, but I did. What can I say? I don't have caller ID, and sometimes it's google, and I can just slam it back down. Retiree Caller: You know that stimulus payment? Me: (Thought Bubble: Just yes or no, Rita, yes or no.) Yes. RC: Is it taxable? Me: (TB: Don't adlib, Rita, yes or no.) No. RC: Is the interest [income it will earn in the bank CD I'm putting it in] taxable? Me: (TB: WTH do you think?? Are you kidding me right now?? Yes or no, yes or no, yes or no...focus...) Yes. God is working in my life, y'all.

The smile on your picture goes in accordance to what you wrote.

I had to hop on a different computer, so I had to create a different ID last night... But I'm still me. I gotta be me.

Kinky!
