    Yeah, they don't know around here either. We are not supposed to get much, if any snow out of this storm. Up north there could be a foot. We'll see what really happens.

    About a foot so far, luckilly the wind is behaving so no BLOB snow drifts on the road. We had a weatherman on the news in Colorado that used to show 3 models of the possible outcomes of storms, it was very helpful and I miss it.

    We could get snow tonight. Not much, just a skiff.

    Cost of transaction was $48.10 for homeowner/investor with state - the catch is they give 5 free federal e-files and each state e-file is ~$20
    This was disc mailed to my house(no high-speed ISP so software is disc anyways) "advertised" 24.99 for basic - that's what you can do for free else where.

    Allows itemization (mortgage, investments, vehicle taxes, home energy improvements etc.) - as for gains/losses, I believe it is capable - just never lost anything on an after tax basis....yet;) or exceeded capital expenditure to incur cap gains on dividend holds.
    It gives you an "audit meter" like most tax software to see if you're skirting the edges of raising red flags.... for instance I donated used furniture and it required a purchased value to ensure write-off doesn't exceed initial value.

    I probably paid close to $50 for TT premium 6-7 years ago but check around you might have an employee discount or such through an insurance company/employer.
    saving 10-20bucks on preparation(you can write that off as well) is kind of non-sense in the big scheme of things

    Horkn Looks like you may be getting some snow down there? Or are you one the edge?

    schlot [/USER] I think you'll be in the thick of things. Keep us updated.

    yooperdave Remember, you have to drive 1/2 way across the U.P. tomorrow through 2 areas where they are calling for 7-12 inches

    I'm in the slush zone. I think. It's snowing, but we're to expect rain tomorrow.

    Who knows? I've got 2 totes full of wood in the stove room. We're gooder!

    Replaced front calipers, hoses, pads and rotors on the front of my Super Duty plow truck yesterday. The thing developed a violent shake when I hit the brakes the past two weeks. That took care of most of it, but it still had a pulse. Ended up replacing rotors, calipers and pads on the back tonight. Along with two new fuel tank straps. I had no idea they were as bad as they were.

    Stops like a dream now.

    If you are nobody , it gets more interesting. You can't like your own posts. That means he can't see "nobody liked your post".
