I just opened windows in my apartment. Due to the current heat wave.
Forgetting to include a W-2 for 2002 triggered my audit. The income I reported and the income reported to the IRS didn't match, and the nasty men wanted to talk to me. File an amended return whenever you get the chance (not incredibly urgent). They probably took withholding, so you won't have to pay anything.
Crapity. But an amended return is not a big deal? I can do it when I'm sure I have all my stuff?
Yup, any time up to the 15th.
So annoying! A friend convinced me I wouldn't actually get a W-2 for $135.
Due to the current heat wave.
Freak.
Unless you are in msbelle's office.
My apartment is always very warm, but today it's unbearable. I figure it's because it's all the way up to freezing today. Oy.
in all sorts of Murphy's Law-iness, today my office heat is mysteriously not on. I am comfortable right now, but fear that by this afternoon I will be chilly. cannot win for losing.
Ah. I like having control over my thermostat. Of course, now that I'm paying my own gas, I may not like it quite as much.
Ah jeez, msbelle. Leave your coat on.
In the apartment, I'm OK with unlimited heat, since I can just keep the windows open. And I don't pay for it.
In related tax commentary, I heart Turbo Tax so much that I have my return all ready to go-- took only 30 minutes for state and federal. But trying to avoid Jesse's predicament. I hate waiting for my refund! I'm looking at you CITIBANK and your missing 1099-INT!
I have a query for y'all. Bob sent me a link to a National Review article about why there are so many more males in the comedy business than females and it contained the following:
In my 15 years in the sitcom business, I have worked side-by-side with 30 different women writers. Ten of them have since gone on to be show-runners, the highest rank a TV writer can attain, short of David Kelley, who is show-runner-married-to-movie-star.
My recollection is that a show-runner is actually one step below the executive producer/creator (Angel's Minear to Whedon)-- and I kind of doubt Kelley does that much show running, given how many he cranks out. Is it true that this is the highest rank a TV writer can attain?
Did anyone else using Turbo Tax get the free federal filing? When I logged on to TT using my bookmark, I didn't get it. But buy using the link at irs.gov (after I had already entered my information) I got the federal filing free (and half-priced state filing). Saved me about $40 for both returns and I'm getting everything direct deposited.
