The Soda Stand

As you all know, it’s tax time here in the states.   I received the W-2 from my job in Vegas last week and yesterday, I received the 1099-R from my cash out of the money I had.  After adding up the total, I figured there was NO way I’d be getting a refund.  I just KNEW I’d have to pay the IRS something.

I sat down tonight, with my tax booklet in hand along with the W-2 and 1099-R.  As I was going through the forms and filling in the boxes, I realized I could deduct all my medical and/or dental expenses, my union dues AND my moving expenses.  The dental expenses and union dues did not come to a total that would help me out, so I used the generic amount they give you to use on the form.

The moving expenses were a totally different story.   I was able to deduct the cost of the movers and the traveling expenses (hotel stays, gas costs, but not meals).  This total, unlike the other total, helped me IMMENSELY!!!!  I do NOT owe the IRS a penny.  In fact, I’ll be getting a small return.  It’s not much, but it will pay a car payment at the least. 

I’m going to double check the numbers and figures tomorrow after I get a good night’s sleep tonight.  Just to make sure.   I don’t want the IRS hounding me or hunting me down for some stupid mathematical (and we all know how GREAT at math I am /sarcasm) error, ya know?

This makes me feel really good.  Here I was, expecting the worst and it didn’t turn out that way.  What a nice little surprise that is.

Until next time….

pee ess  The wind sucks ass here!!!!  It is shaking the whole building!  YUCK!
