fucking taxes....

[hpdrifter]

For all of you in the good old US of A, have you done your taxes yet?

I'm trying to do mine and its uber complicated.

I sold some stocks last year and its asking me for the cost basis. How the fuck am I supposed to know how much my gramma paid for the stock or when she bought it? I was a baby!

Blech.

[kll]

I sent mine into the accountant on 2/27. I have yet to see what I'm getting back though.

X-tina,


If you have the date they were sold on I can get you the cost basis. I work for a broker.

PM me the symbol and the date they were sold. er bought...give me both if you have it

[hpdrifter]

Seriously!?! Wow, you rule, dude!

I'll PM you, oh you just PMed me!

[Wino King]

F the IRS. (Im joking, Just in case they read this)

[hpdrifter]

And for anyone else who's savvy about these things, I sold 50 shares. When I got them, I didn't have 50. It turned into 50 over the years through splitting and dividend reinvestment. Do I have to figure out how many shares were gained from splitting and when and how many were gained through dividend reinvestment and when and get cost bases for each of those dates?

This could get really turgid really fast.

Fuck tha IRS

i think i used to have stock, or i think i still have some, but not as much

all i know is that last summer i somehow ended up with $5,000 to my name and that pretty much took care of my school and rent payments since then

[cookiepuss]

yeah I just told you how to figure the split in the PM I sent you. I don't really know that much about it, but that's how the guy at raymond james told me to figure it. and no I don't think you need a cost basis for each date..you just need to figure the adjusted price by the number of splits.

...you can do that online for free, for your federal taxes, anyway.

Anyhoo -- I sent the federal a couple months ago, but waited on California until last week, because I owed some to the bear. But it's all good, and it's all done with.

my mom took care of mine for me (she said it was very easy, apparently taxes aren't too complicated if you barely make any money!) and i still haven't sent in the check yet. i owe $69. i'm kinda happy about that actually, now i can say "i pay my taxes!" and not be lying. all the other years i didn't make enough.

What was the Boston Tea Party all about again?

I pay nothing. Nothing. Sure I pay the taxxes levied on me when I buy goods but taxxing me for working LOL! You all are suckers~feeding the war machine.
Taxxes are my hot button.
Americans, Take a good look at how much your tax $ go to the military industrial complex ie The War in Iraq.

But, you were educated here, right?

Since the middle class pay more compared to the upper class, everyone else should move out of the country! NOW!

*sigh* don't remind me

Bush earmarked 52% of the 2007 budget for defense, and that doesn't even include the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
