All of my income is reported. There is no way I could possibly hide it if I wanted to. What frosts me is that my wife and I both got settlement checks of about $12 as a result of some class action lawsuit over a mutual fund that we no longer even have. The checks came with a severe warning about fraud and perjury, and were written in such a way that my credit union would not even cash them. I had to fill out paperwork to get the checks written to us, not our mutual fund accounts since we no longer have the funds. The measly checks finally came with a 1099 and a severe admonishment that the income had to be reported to the IRS. FOR TWELVE DOLLARS! $100 worth of paperwork not counting my own. And a certain medication that I have our health insurance pays about $2 for, which requires another $20 of paperwork to pay it. And my cost is 50 times the benefit. And the dental plan isn't worth the trouble to retrieve the benefit. So when I go through TurboTax to try to maximize my deductions, do I feel guilty for claiming charitable donations I make in the form of old stuff I don't want anymore? Hell no! Grrrrrr!
