Go Jack Bauer, go. Your Mom and I finished Season 4 of the hit series "24" and we are part way into Season 5. That means that TV programing stinks and watching "24" is the best alternative.
Grasshopper No.4 has purchased the current Turbo-Tax software. I have started the same process. The software does all the calculations and formating but you still have to gather the information for data entry. There is always some bank or government agency that sends information after you finish your taxes. Don't file to quick. To those of you who might profit from "cash only jobs", be sure to report the income on your tax forms. Remember you are on the honor system (especially you Sheboyganites).
This is a free year for those who die and leave a sizeable estates. Last year, your estate if you died, would have paid federal and state estate taxes on everything over $7,000,000. All estate taxes have been eliminated for this year only. So for those of you with large estates, this would be a convenient year to pass away. You people with large estates, you know who you are.
This is Super Bowl weekend. People buy new HDTV's just for the occasion. Just making the Super Bowl the highlight of your weekend is symbolic of winter blues. I picked Minnesota and the New York Jets to be in the Super Bowl. Yep if you had ignored my picks and picked the other teams, you could have won a lot of money. So if you want to make a ton of money on the Super Bowl game, pick against me. I pick Indianapolis.
The good news is that the days are getting longer and when the sun comes out, it melts sidewalks and driveways. Summer is not far away.
Have a nice weekend.
Love,
Dad
