“That is my kind of read. It is on the $$. The father does receive social security $18,000 a year. the wife is only 59 and does not receive SS. The children do receive social security of $400 a month. But thank you and your expression “outside of the box” is the correct attitude. And I believe that the online programs don’t allow it. And I believe that the preparers in the VITA/AARP program don’t know how ( I did do tax returns for that program in the year of 2006 for 2005 tax returns when we had a large contingent of National Guard called up. And I believe there are too many preparers in too many firms including HRB that do not think “outside of the box”

I felt that your various readers that find themselves posting comments did not appreciate my input and just as soon that I left the scene, two of them said it is time to “move on”

I thank you for the two emails and I will continue, as you, to provide a service helping the American Citizen to pay the lowest tax they legally owe, or the largest refund legally entitled.”
