1. I dont know how you can do math with a sinus headache or whatever your suffering from Drew.But like i said when I sent all that info on W88’s, I suck at math so you do the calculations. And here you do these tax calcs with a head full of Mucas. Your amazing.

2. Drew, I’ve been doing this for 25 years and I have three words that you need to look into: Earned Income Credit. Check your tax tables, it will truly amaze you. And it’s very easy to cheat.

3. Good call Drew!

   I almost never look at the tax ‘credits’. Like the so-called ‘earned income credit’, I never qualify.

   (Punkins, first time I heard of the EIC I was doing my girlfriend’s taxes. She got back more than she paid. Pissed me off. Not her fault and I married her anyway. She no longer qualifies for the EIC)

   For ‘Schedule M’ I/we do qualify. Saved me several hundred of those soon-to-be-worthless pieces of Federal Reserve paper.

4. Punkins, in all the years I’ve been doing taxes, I’ve never once managed to qualify for EIC. My income has varied between A Lot and Damn Little, and it never works for me. Oh well.

   I’ve tried going through the steps. It may be easy to cheat on it, but it’s also very hard to understand. And it’s the only part of the tax instructions that has warning labels all over it “if we catch you cheating you won’t be allowed to use EIC again for X years”. So I guess you are right. All you have to do is invent several children ... ah, but they all need SSNs. So I don’t know how to put the fix in on that one.

5. Good point. I’ll just borrow yours. And hers. And his. I can get them 5 for a buck, on one of those thousands of government laptops that get “lost” every year.
