are medical bills, or short-term medical disability, anything that would affect taxes?

I believe the short term disability benefits are not taxable income.

I believe you can start deducting medical expenses when they are more than 7.5% of your AGI.

I would think that a program like Turbo Tax would work fine with those kinds of adjustments, and it's a lot cheaper than paying someone to do the taxes.

Here, have a grain of salt to go with that.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

You may deduct only the amount by which your total medical care expenses for the year exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. You do this calculation on Form 1040 Schedule A in computing the amount deductible.

Heh. Thanks, Sparky. I've never had my taxes done before, but I've used TTax before.

Last year was really confusing -- I also emptied my 401(K) -- I know, I know, but I was umemployed and I had to not be homeless -- so I am a bit overwhelmed by the thought.

You should be ashamed! I only know about the Evil Chicken through fandom_wank.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am exceeding my own expectations of how unorganized my desk has become. Now I am flat out embarrassed. Looks like I will be coming in next Saturday.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I can't decide which I like better, the one about wine or pi.

I like the gang sines.

The shame, it burns. I DID stop reading after book 3!! Does that help?!

Was the evil chicken in all three books?

IIRC, Evil Chicken was only in book one. There was a lot of equally crappy prose, though. Le sigh. I have high pain tolerance.
