OFF TOPIC SmartMoney, eh? I was interviewed at great length electronically by a guy there planning an article on Internet college info. I was expecting a huge write-up that I could pop into my college apps, but it was never printed and the writer quit SM altogether before I could get a copy of it. Oh well... just burning off steam, Matt.

OFF TOPIC- FYI I appears that due to an IRS snafu in their programming, you cannot file returns with Schedule D's electronically till perhaps Feb. 12 or later. If you filed on paper, they cannot process your return if it has a Schedule D till the IRS fixes it's software to handle the changes in the capital gains processing. Just an FYI for those waiting for refunds. The IRS states, "Unfortunately, the time required to implement the programming required as a result of the extensive changes means that the we will not be able to process returns with Schedule D until sometime in mid-February. We will not be able to accept returns through our IRS e-file systems until the programming is in place. Taxpayers filing paper returns will also be affected. Even though we can accept paper returns we will not be able to process them until the programming is in place. A more exact target date will be determined in December and will be posted immediately to our Website. We expect that only 1 to 3 percent of taxpayers who report capital gains or losses would file early enough to be affected by this processing issue."
