Weekend Party

[queuedup 1]

That reminds me, I have to figure out what im going to do for my taxes. File as Single? or Married Filing Jointly? or File for an extension? What to do, what to do...

HUM???? More stuff to keep you up at night. As if this process does not do it on its own. I'm lucky did my taxes Jan. went to Paris in Feb. and spent tax return.

Did you file as single or married filing jointly?

Married, even though we re-married in Feb. "Long story" cause year before that we thought we were legally married and I filed married then so I did it again this year filed as married. Confusing, bet your head is spinning. Right??

If your married, file as married, but dont file jointly.

Why not file jointly? I'm trying to find out if I need to get a Tax ID number for my wife.

Well ,we did not cause he is a foreign national and in Paris, and he does not have a SS#. He is not even here yet.

I was just looking at the 1040 schedule, and I didn't see an option that just said married. Any ideas?

Let me ask you this, do you feel as if you have to file jointly??? If not, dont, just file away as you always do.

I don't have to file jointly. For 2007, I filed as Single, for 2008 I want to file married, but didn't see that there was a way to file as married without my wife having a SS#. The only two options are Married Filing Separately, or Married filing Jointly...hence my confusion.

I would file Married/Separately. Have you spoken with a tax expert?

You lost me, what I have done since I filed???????

[queuedup 1]

Hey guys!

The work day is almost over, why not start the party now, eh?

Come hang out and talk,gather,b!tch,whine,laugh and whatever.

There will be a cash bar for those interested. The specialty is Margaritas, I believe.

See ya later, have fun

Cash bar, huh?? I'm in

I am trying to plan my trip to India, the fact that my wife doesn't know im coming makes it even more complicated....do you ladies think I should just tell her?

I'm in too but don't have too much cash to spend So I''l just use the free featured VJ drinks hahahaha

and, thank god Jenn.... you dont have to go to jail for your thoughts, so wish away

OH I'd be in jail for a few life sentences right about now..... I was crying to every clerk inthe coourt house who asked me " Can I help you?" what a loser......

AS I posted in our weekly thread, worrying and being emotional over this whole illogical process does NOT make u a loser. It just shows how much u miss ur hubby (trust me I KNOW...238 days and counting!!)

EVERYONE IS WELCOME !!

Those are some pretty big letters!! Definitely woke me up!!

Que, this is the scd time u make me laugh 2day lol

That reminds me, I have to figure out what im going to do for my taxes. File as Single? or Married Filing Jointly? or File for an extension? What to do, what to do...

I am still confused as well and have not filed. I guess I will submit the W7 form to get an IIN for my husband. The tax preparer I spoke to said to do it that way but I guess the best person to ask would be IRS. Maybe we should call them up! AY YAY YAY, one more place to call as if we don't have enough on ur plates already

I believe this was my idea

Hello my VJ family B) Hoping and praying for continued progress on everyone's case! I will be pulling Lisa's "hit&run" most the weekend. I start my new part time job this weekend ... 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. ... baby sitting a small luxury home community with about 150 homes, all worth 2 million on up ...

Am calling the NVC tonight again to see it there's any progress on my AP. I know that for a lot of people there was this 50 day window ... but I have heard about some that have made it in 3 weeks ... so I'm really hoping

{BIG HUGS} all around and I'll catch up with you soon !

Hey, can we all move into those 2 million dollar homes that the government will give us for free as a result of all the pain, suffering and emotional distress we have endured since the beginning of this journey and be VJ neighbors? Good luck with ur new job!

Yea, maybe that can be part of Obama's new stimulus plan

Thanks ... it is going to be sooooooooooooooooooooooo boring I sit in a tiny little car at the front gates taking notes for 30 minutes ... then drive around the area for 30 minutes ... then back to sitting at the front gates ... over and over and over ...

Too bad I don't have a laptop with wireless ... I could at least skype with Ksenia, post here & surf around the web

So I should say that I'm coming, but show up a day or two earlier?? If I do that, she is going to figure out im coming earlier cause I won't be reachable for 16-18 hours. Any suggestions??
