Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

It's going to be a long tornado season. (We just graduated from tornado watch to tornado warning.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Dude.
I totally just knocked a grand of my taxes. WTF! I was at the last step, comparing this year's numbers to last year's, and I decided I really needed to investigate the mysterious "other adjustments" number that was so much higher last year. So I upgraded to TurboTax's Home & Business, figuring I was already so much in the hole an extra fifty bucks wouldn't hurt.
And whaddya know, I had my health insurance premiums in the normal spot instead of in the self-employed spot, and bang, a grand less.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh shit, could I have deducted health insurance premiums? Meh, it wouldn't have helped that much, I don't think.
I'm watching Modern Family and laughing about how my cousin was saying it is her family. It's funny because of how true it must be about so many families.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Well, there's two bits. You can put your health insurance premiums in the normal health expenses category. That's what I did initially. But that amount has to be pretty high for it to count at all. So in my case, that was just zeroed out.
The second bit is if you're self-employed, in which case there's an entirely different place where you put your health insurance premiums, which can be deducted 100%. That was (obviously now) what I did last year, and what I have done now. But it wasn't immediately obvious, because it was lumped in an "other adjustments" category, so I could see that it was different, but I couldn't see why.

That's fantastic, Liese!

I was self-employed for half the year, so. Meh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Originally he said it was the weakest episode. But then people mentioned Beer Bad and Bad Eggs.

They didn't mention Doublemeat Palace (or half of Season 7, for that matter)?
