  1. You probably don’t have either taxable interest income or ordinary dividends, Rob.
    Taxable interest income would be interest on a savings account or taxable bonds (i.e. that weren’t issued by the US government or your local municipalities).
    Ordinary dividends are dividends paid by stocks, so unless you own stocks you won’t have any.

    Also this is the link about the free tax return prepsration service (VITA program):

  2. ditto, as with all the other walks I’ve done, it would be during the day. I guess I just don’t like hearing I shouldn’t go somewhere and/or having a preconceived notion of what a place is like without seeing it for myself.

  3. rob, unless you own mutual funds and/or have a brokerage account, interst income & dividends is likely zero. You may get some interest income through your checking account or a savings account though. 401k is tax exempt so what you earn in that does not count.

    You would have a 1099 for any interest or dividends. If you have your federal returns the number could be found there as well if you’ve misplaced the 1099s from those years.

    Biff, my Mexican bf lives in Canarsie. he will be glad to provide youe with escort services.

  4. Yep, slopefarm. Devious of me, isn’t it? Everyone is looking for the secret society, Skull and Bones, WASP, Ivy League, Masters of the Universe conspiracy, and here, with my l’il old, African-American, rural, unconnected self, I manage to do what others have only tried. Ain’t America wunnerful?

  5. Denton, why do you “Just don’t get one who thinks more drugs are the answer.”

    I don’t take psych meds myself, but I know two people who do take a low dose of a popular anti-depressant, and the drugs work well for them.

    I understand that some docs over-medicate people, I know one person who was a walking ‘chemistry set’ for awhile, but got a new psych med doc, and straightened that all out (was 4 meds!, now just one).

  6. denton, not the IRS that i called… im pretty sure i talked to the new york state department of taxation and finance audit division. basically it’s two notice of demand for payment and tax due. each one is roughly almost 1800 each. for example on the 2003 on it says tax amount due 841, interest amount due 395, and pentalty amount due 513! then the same roughly for 2004.

    they told me to fill out the 2003 and 2004 state tax forms and send them in. i have my W2s and on the forms tho, i get wages, salaries, tips part number 1. but then from part 2 on i have no clue what they are asking me to put in the boxes.
    2 “taxable interest income” huh?
    3.”ordinary dividends” – double huh

    hmm

    you mentioned they could garnish my wages? ugh that would not be good. that would not fly over well at work at all.
    plus it’s pretty embarassing!
