My wife and I have an agreement. Every dollar I spend on my computer, she gets to spend on clothes. Next month I plan on buying a second WD 10,000 rpm drive, logitech Z-5500 speakers, FX-60, and (I hope) Nvidia7900GTX. Crud, I had no idea it would be this expensive. Rough math puts my upgade at about 4400.00 with her cloths included.

I just met with my CPA last night. I had a bunch of losses over the year so I was able to use that as deductions towards my taxable income. In the end, all the government will tax me on is 310.00. EVERTHING ELSE that my wife and I paid in taxes over the year we will get back.

It pays to get to a CPA. Thay can find so much. Get this.. I run my business out of my home. My wife bought me a 19" LCD for X-Mas. She paid like 350 or something like that. Be cause I use it for work, we can write off most of it.

I am most definitly a CPA fanboy!

Insert bad word here



So at the end of the meeting he says "I don't want to see you on the news protesting something screeming 'I know my rights, I pay taxes' Cause I'll know the truth" :)

I started using a CPA 2 years ago. The first year was just like any other financial year most 20 somethings have. However he found a couple thousand in deductions that I never thought of. (moving, costs that apply to looking for a job etc). I could never do what you are getting ready to do. I came into his office with Rubbermaid tub yesterday full of what I thought he would need. Overprepaired is better I think.

anyway, the point is it might cost a couple hundred $ but it will save you time and they will think of great ways to get you your money back (if possible) As you can see I'm still on the high. I will get the fed and state deposited right into my bank account in 2 weeks. :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
