I would prefer to pay just and legal taxes to accomplish the much-needed repair of our infrastructure, etc.<BR/>But thanks so much, for hearing me.Savanna Kougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-42971709233592950242008-01-18T00:41:00.000-06:002008-01-18T00:41:00.000-06:00Wow, Mel, get that big check into a ROTH IRA! LOL!...Wow, Mel, get that big check into a ROTH IRA! LOL! My take from writing this year was (drum roll please) a grand total of 50.00! But some day I'll make more! :)<BR/><BR/>I think this is a part of the business that a lot of writers don't think about UNTIL they get an advance or royalty check--I just want to get folks planning for the moment when it happens.<BR/><BR/>Ah, Helen, see, accountants are good folks to know just like librarians! ;)<BR/><BR/>Sav, I hear what you're saying but I always tell folks to file since I'm bound by GAAP ethics to do so. And I personally don't mind paying taxes since they go to build the roads I drive on, pay the police who protect me, and educate the children who will some day rule the world I live in. ;) But I do understand what you are saying.Anitra Lynn McLeodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01797697362449591887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-77979963720124244452008-01-17T17:49:00.000-06:002008-01-17T17:49:00.000-06:00Anitra, this is a big fat sore point for me. Nothi...Anitra, this is a big fat sore point for me. Nothing against your accounting ability, a wonderful skill and knowledge to have. Actually, I'm so poor I don't have to worry about the income tax. And it's a good thing in my case because then I don't have to battle with my integrity over this. Since the income tax is technically illegal under the Constitution of the united states. The problem being they'll throw you in jail or worse, anyway. So I never tell anyone not to file or pay. Although, I'm betting more and more people will revolt simply because they can't pay in our current falling economy. And, truthfully, I'm not sure what I'm going to if I ever fall into 'their' paying category again. Truth is truth.Savanna Kougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-61028143766846648732008-01-17T17:17:00.000-06:002008-01-17T17:17:00.000-06:00The tax system over this side of pond is just as c...The tax system over this side of pond is just as complicated but, lucky me, my sister is an accountant!<BR/><BR/>HelenHelen Scott Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12254001495060374379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-2885121415297857712008-01-17T15:45:00.000-06:002008-01-17T15:45:00.000-06:00Woo hoo for weird!

This is the first year I'll have to worry about money from my writing. I'll get a $12.51 check in June. *grin* <BR/><BR/>Oh. Anyway.
