Jack from Ohio Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 North Carolina is SOUTH? I thought South Dakota was South. The Mason Dixon line is the division of North & South. Any TRUE Southerner would know this!! (From a guy born in Tennessee and lived in Ohio for the last 35 years.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(From a guy born in Tennessee and lived in Ohio for the last 35 years.) Robin Williams referred to that, on stage, as the "Manson-Nixon" line. Ouch! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneInAlabama Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'm not a true southerner. I was born in Georgia and raised up from army camp to another. In growing up, i was always a foreigner. When I lived in the north, I was a rebel; and when I lived in the south, I was a yankee. It didn't help any that I always had the accent of the last place I lived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schirallicpa Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 My niece just informed me that the bank acct info she gave me for direct deposit for her refund was for 2008. She has a different bank acct now. She thought I just needed the 2008 info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Too bad you can't 'fire' a niece. ;~) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Too bad you can't 'fire' a niece. ;~) And if she's big enough to get a refund, you probably can't spank her, either. I guess having to wait for that refund to get bounced and a check sent will have to be consequences enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess having to wait for that refund to get bounced and a check sent will have to be consequences enough. I had a niece like that last year. I waived my fee; but she had to pay the $20 to the bank for their fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I just had to share this one... Current client (single female) asked... "Does being married changed the amount of the First Time Homebuyers Credit?" I responded... "No, the amount of the credit is the same whether you are single or married." Client... "So it would be better if my boyfriend and I bought the house together before we get married in May? I respond... "That will not change the amount of the credit. 10% of the purchase price up to a maximum of $8,000." Client... "So, if we buy the house together.before we get married, can we get TWO credits?" I respond... "No, only one credit per house." Client... "But if we are not married, wouldn't that be TWO households, and then $16,000 credit?" I respond... "No, only one credit per house. If you buy it together, you split the credit." Client... "That doesn't hardly seem fair..." I had to repeat this to her three more times before she actually believed me...

kcjenkins Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Client... "That doesn't hardly seem fair..." Gee, what part of 'per house' does she not understand? I guess greed makes people have tunnel vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess greed makes people have tunnel vision. Well just write "unit 1" and "unit 2" and pretend they're apartments! (You know there's gotta be some preparer somewhere doing that fraud...)
