Please make it stop!

I would love to stop receiving junk e-mail. Is that even possible? I have spam filtering turned on in Mail.app so I don’t usually realize how much junk mail I get until I’m at work and I have Outlook alerting me about each one. I know, I know, using Outlook is probably what got me into this mess in the first place.

Is A Student Loan Income?

For students like me who are curious about whether you need to include student loans in your taxable income… and I’ve been searching around for this for a couple days now… I finally found out the answer. No, you don’t.

Report your illegal income!

Illegal income, such as stolen or embezzled funds, must be included in your income on line 21 of Form 1040, or on Schedule C or Schedule C–EZ (Form 1040) if from your self-employment activity.

The IRS sure has some odd requirements (search for “illegal income”) for reporting your income. You must also report kickbacks and other under-the-table income.
