It seems to be fixed.
I hope to get to NY sometime in the summer, once my bills are mostly paid off and I can shop for fabric, and I would love to go to the museum.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I've wanted to see the tenement museum since I first read about it, probably because of an early imprinting by A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and a strange fondness for reading about cholera. It's been more than 10 years since I've been to NY. Does that seem right to you? I am a very broke person this year, though.

This weekend is Tax weekend for me. I would like to e-file my Federal, but I've never done it before so I'm hoping for help from the hivemind. It looks like I can pick up a copy of H&R TaxCut for $20 that will let me e-file. Does anyone know if it works well? Since I've never e-filed, what does one do with supporting documentation, like a W-2 or a receipt for deductible donations?

I have uncomplicated taxes, Gud, but Turbo Tax just sort of sucked my W-2 from my employer after I put in the EIN.

My taxes have the potential to be really simple this year. I have very few capital gains and I suspect the standard deduction may be greater than itemizing. It was getting awfully close last year.

I've used TurboTax online to e-file for about 5 years, though I've never itemized deductions. You fill out the W-2 information online; since the data is reported to the government anyway I think they don't need the actual print form turned in. I am not sure about charitable receipts.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Obviously, I'm not well informed on any of this because I was lucky enough to conceive without any problems at 40.
Sighh... Say that to me again and again, ok?

You are welcome to stay with me. The new aparment has ample room for guests.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNE!!!!!!!

I don't know why e-filing makes me skittish, but I always use TaxCut online and then print out the forms and mail everything in.

I have a pretty complicated return, but I've efiled without trouble. They don't even ask for the supporting documentation, which made me feel kind of naked. I suppose the theory is that if they spot something suspicious, they'll make you cough the paperwork up at that point.
