I have been on a little adventure, believe it or not. I hadn't been feeling well for a while and one morning I told my husband that I thought I needed help. Well, ER led to 7 days in the hospital (so they tell me). I had viral bronchitis and then developed bacterial pneumonia and had myself a vacation of sorts. If anyone has noticed that I have not been nosing around, that is why, but I am now home and on the way to a full recovery. Turns out that I was sick for a very long time and I guess I knew it but I just thought that was the way life was. Well, let me tell you , I have not breathed so well in years and I am back. This was my first fullish day on the computer and I am pretty tired so will keep you posted. I am so Happy to be back and Life is Wonderful. Love to each and every one of you. I had my doubts there for a while, but I don't do well with meds and they sort of messed me up while they were curing me.

Completed returns and got signature on 8879. Then (before e-filing) she thinks she has more medical deductions. How much can tax &/or income &/or deductions change withOUT requiring a new 8879 signed. I remember something like $10 in tax, but can't find anything on topic now. She has a refund and is over the 7.5% for medical, so any deductions she has will increase her refund. We're leaving for hubby's family reunion in MA very early tomorrow morning, so if I don't e-file today, it won't get done until 6 August or later.

Without digging, IIRC, for ours, wages were reduced (with likely a note on the item) and the rest fell where it fell. I suspect some did things like show it as a credit or some other means. Of course, net tax will be higher because deductible expenses were lower, that is the thing folks with no accounting knowledge do not "see", they just see "I got X in free money". We went through similar calcs on PTET actual savings, including cost of money. Good old math is why solar does not work for me (in CA under the current CA rules) despite my testing the solar sellers every now and again - they never include cost of money, that the breakeven is often at or beyond the warranty period, etc.

Thank you for the advice!
