I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Tax question: I've already done mine. Except that a week after I got my w2 from work, the same finance lady belatedly handed me my 1099. I figured I hadn't gotten one because I hadn't made enough to warrant it, which didn't strike me as odd as my side job had been dry this year. But apparently I made 1300 bucks. Do I go back and file this and lose money? Should I wait until the return hits my checking account so there's actually money to pay the gummymint back? Or can I just . . . not.

Yes, the IRS knows what's on you 1099, and you need to pay taxes on it.

Tom, I got a 1099 that was blank. It just had the orgs EIN and my SSN and our addresses. WTH?

In other news, a kid came to me today and told me she got married on Sunday. Um....?

Julie - as long as you do your amended return before April 15th, there won't be any penalty, so why not wait for the refund to hit before doing the amended return.

A student, Kat? Ummm...

Our wings are not tired

I will get called Andrew occasionally since it's my legal name and is one official documents. It's also what I went by all through high school and into college, so really old friends will sometimes call me Andrew. The one that I've never been, and won't answer to is Andy. Nope, not gonna happen. Drew is my name, Andrew is you don't know better, but there has never been a time or place where I am an Andy.

hip deep in pie

If someone tries to call me Sue - they are immediately corrected. There is one person in the world who can call me that and she is my childhood friend and I haven't seen her in years.

Ha! Similarly, Susie is the one diminutive of my name that I cannot bear. My full name is Susan, but I go by Sue because I was named after a Sue. (It was my brother's grade 2 crush.)
