Taxpayer asks:
The reader who asked the question (regarding your Feb 28 cell phone deduction post) seemed to presume she’d deduct the cost of the “extra line” (which is usually a minimal cost), but let’s say she was just getting her phones set up from scratch. Could she have given her brother the primary line […]
Taxpayer asks:
I left my job as an editor at a media company, but continue to do some freelance work for them. When I submitted an invoice, I was told that for tax purposes I couldn’t be paid by them as an independent contractor in the same year that I was an employee. This means those […]

It’s kind of appropriate that the crisis management post that I had planned was to hit today. You see, I’m a little backed up on my things to do because, well, I had a crisis, of sorts. Following up on weeks (and weeks!) of my children contracting every bug/virus/infection known to man, I […]
Taxpayer asks:
I am a driver for a FedEx contractor, and I just recieved my 1099-misc form from my boss(the contractor) and I have no clue as to what to do from here. In the past, my jobs were paid by hourly wage and I received a W-2 for those. This is totally new to me, […]
