Clever. Where is Robin Hood when you need him? And Marcus Welby too for that matter. Could fix you up in under 5o minutes. They take too much and line their pockets and I get huffy to no avail. I recall my favorite Janis Joplin song this time every year... Freedom's just another word for nuthin left to lose... Guess I'm not quite free yet. Happy trails (paper), J'nia

I agree with Rose I hate tax time and the tax man even if I know the rationality behind taxes.

Actually the $21.00 was just the interest & fines over the next four months of an extension on the actual amount...next time I get unemployment, I let them take out Federal taxes, live & learn...Ed

When you work, when you sign the form to claim how many deductions you want, claim ZERO. They'll take the most out, but you'll get it back when you file next year. Sorry to hear you're so stressed - it could have been much worse than $21.00. Ya know? You're in my prayers, Ed -
