Why can't you be more like Gunther and his painstakingly researched trip to Peru? Joining your long term boyfriend while he studies in New York is just so loving short sighted and irresponsible. Go somewhere your life skills have prepared you for, somewhere you might have prospects -- like, eg., a remote village that relies on drivers couriering medical supplies in through the mountains. Gunther had a plan, Luann. Grow up already.

Sort of like a wolf/rabbit relationship? where the "prey" one is actually bigger than the other one? Seems familiar somehow but I can't put my finger on it...

Wait, he has a kid to run TurboTax for him? Dustin's taxes can't possibly be that difficult. He probably has a ton of W-2s and maybe some 1099s to enter, but I doubt he has much to deduct beyond student loan interest, and I wouldn't be shocked if that doesn't exceed the standard deduction. This should be more time-consuming than anything.

I did it for my local, but my taxes are super easy and need like three minutes, a basic calculator, and knowing where the W-2s are. :shrug:

Well if Dustin is still working as a substitute teacher, he might have a number of Employee Business Expenses, since he'd potentially be on call for various schools so he'd have mileage expense, supplies, and maybe be able to take some for his cell phone. Also student loan interest deduction is a hit to AGI, so it can be taken regardless of the standard deduction.

Also, to be super pedantic, the only way Dustin could have possibly achieved a refund like that has nothing to do with itemized deductions, but more likely through a ton of credits he's not entitled to.

Also also, Turbo Tax can be a horribly dangerous program for exactly this reason. He could easily misfile his return by answering the program's questions not realizing why it's asking anything and end up with a weird credit.

Just came across an interesting essay on Kliban by cartoonist Tim Krieder. It's worth giving a read.

quote:

In other words, forget about the freaking cats already. B. Kliban was one
of the funniest, most erudite and artful cartoonists of our time--far better than most of his more
celebrated contemporaries--and one of the few Americans to use illustration as an instrument of
psychological vivisection and a weapon of social protest in the manner of the European artists
Roland Topor, Ronald Searle, and Ralph Steadman.

There's a Strong Bad email where Coach Z is wearing a thong in a swimming pool and he takes it off and the water turns all black and inky. I didn't get it at the time, but apparently later found out that in some Asian (I forget which country specifically) comedy movies there will sometimes be a really gross and dirty guy in a bathtub or swimming pool and the water will turn black to show how gross and dirty he is.

That is the first thing that came to mind when I saw this.
