Anyone here self-employed? How do you handle your past year's keyboard acquisitions? Do you deduct them under Section 179, do you depreciate them over time, or just play it safe and deduct nothing?
Probably a silly question but just curious.
Bonus joke: So my accountant asks me for a wealth assessment. So I says to him, I says, "it's all here in my GH sig line."

I filed my custom $400 keyboard two years ago saying it was needed for ergonomically reasons to complete my job efficiently. Not self-employed, but I did need to include a letter from a physician and employer stating I have early signs of carpal tunnel.
This year I will be filing deductions for all the video games I've purchased under unreimbursed employee expenses and research.

Do you do game development, or is that a joke for the reimbursement.

I have used Turbo Tax for at least a decade and have been very pleased with it.
There may be better and/or cheaper options, but for my relatively simple needs it has worked well and I am accustomed to it.

anyone here NOT have health insurance?

Yeah, I'm in game development.

are they going to take the fee for not having insurance out of your return or what? mayhaps i shouldve looked into this earlier this year..

I thought I read somewhere that they can't lien your property or garnish your wages to get the penalty moneys. So in other words, if you change your withholding so that you always owe, then just pay what you owe in income tax, they can never get you for the penalty.

they can't
they can never get you
You f*cking modern Republicans are completely insane and delusional.
America is "we" and our government was established OF THE PEOPLE.
The robber barons of corporate America are the true enemy, as nobody understood better than the Republican president Theodore Roosevelt.
A corporation is not a person, no matter what Mitt Romney says. You can thank a totally corrupt Reconstruction-era Supreme Court for that particular abomination.

Low taxes in the US are a delightfully small price to pay for the opportunity to live in the greatest society that the planet Earth has ever known.
I hate the contemporary rabid right for their relentless efforts to destroy it by attempting to provide the means for the ultra-wealthy to suck it dry.

OK fine but what does that have to do with anything in this thread? Is it because I made a tongue-in-cheek post about tax deductions?

Its always tax season, every month I see (currently) 35% of what ever I make go away to the ****ing government.
At least I get a nice tax return from having a mortgage, taxpayers pay me almost 30% of my interest because politicians have no spine and won't tell greedy bankers to be less greedy. But thats a good $2000 a year I get back so thats nice, maby a GON this year?
