2010 Tax Return: Any new tips?

[Woodson]

Just did my taxes to get a sneek peak before sending off to the accountant. He usually finds 20% more based off deductions but must say I'm pleasantly surprised with the return. I let the government borrow a little more than normal to stay in the good graces of the three letter word... No not G-O-D, but I-R-S. :0002


Anything new this year?

Jack, you claiming any additions with your recent success in stocks? :toast:


:toast:

To answer your question, I have no idea.

Fortunately, the more successful of my 2 stock accounts is my IRA, but the other had substantial gains as well.

I'm in collecting mode right now. Anything tax related goes into a big folder and sometime in March I'll send the whole mess to my accountant to get busy on.

The only thing I do is collect info and give it to him. Even mail from the state or IRS goes into the folder, unopened, and sent to him. I also make a list of things that might be used for deductions and he uses them if he can.

I don't even like the thought of taxes. I pay monthly and quarterly but this year will owe a nice chunk that will come out of my trading account.

I'm on 4 hot stocks right now that should help pad that account for my withdrawal in April. :0008

I was gone before 9pm :bed:

Woke up at 2am and watched Poker After Dark, then let the dogs out and came in here. Hopefully take a nap from 5-7 and be ready for another eventful and exciting day :0008
