Dr. Noodle. I earn as much as my brother, and he just bought a house. So I tried to buy one too only to find out I can't, because I'm self-employed. And lenders now won't give a mortgage because all my legitimate business deductions make it look like my income is a lot smaller than it really is. So I have two choices. Give up my business and get a full-time job, or stop taking deductions and owe the IRS $20 grand. Hmmm ... I see. Or I can get a cosigner. Well, it appears our time is up. It's only been two minutes. Speaking of which, how's your credit score? |

It's the end of tax season under the microscope. It looks like dependent deductions were takes for the parasites. The genes paid inheritance tax, spinal fluid owed back taxes, and brain cells took an education credit. Did everybody down there have to rush to the post office to beat the deadline? Post office. IRS. 1040. Everybody except the neurons ... they e-filed! |
