How come when I earn too much, the IRS takes away my tax breaks, but when the oil companies earn too much, it's "we can't do anything about it except hold hearings" from the Congresscritters?
I got to send a chunk to Uncle Sam - there was a bunch of wierd stuff in 2007 - my favorite line from the CPA I hired (the first time ever I didn't just do them myself) - "Well, I've never seen this fact pattern before."gsabc wrote:To Uncle Sam and Cousin Deval.![]()

Way back when I was married to Dr Dick, we were both self employed. He had a professional corporation and I had a DBA. We did not make large enough quarterly deposits. I cried for days.minimetoo26 wrote:Can we just not talk about this today?

I met with the accountant the next day and told him that his job was to make sure I didn't cry next April 16.
He did his job.
We owed after that and I always knew what we would owe and I had it saved.

I'd go get a tissue, but I don't think I can afford one today...

I'll let you use the $11 refund check I just got from the state of Missouri to dry your eyes. I get three checks this year instead of two since the bastards at the boat took too much out of that jackpot I won last July.....![]()

Don't you go out and collect bottles and cans by the roadside? I bet you could get one of those travel packs of Kleenex with your proceeds today.minimetoo26 wrote:We do quarterlies, too, but the business my husband and his sister own had a banner year last year.peacock2121 wrote:Way back when I was married to Dr Dick, we were both self employed.
