Re: How the PPA\'s board should be composed

If I knew more about how the Board of Directors of the PPA operated, I feel as if I'd be in a better position to form an opinion (although I do agree with your suggestions as to what sort of...

Re: new PPA Ad

It has been removed. Odd. Although they did put up this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7TF0r1K7jM

Re: Former Employer will not give me my W-2...What now?

If you have no received a W-2 from your employer by February 14th, you need to CALL the IRS. It's much more effective than EMail (and it's what they tell you to do in this situation). 800-829-1040....

Re: Filing taxes as a dependent

It wasn't meant to be sarcastic. It was meant to be helpful. But clearly THAT didn't work, so I'll try again. Yes, if you made under $5,150 you do not have to file. However, if you received a W2...

Re: Just finished up my taxes

When you figured this out, did you claim only your $2605 net profit as part of your income or did you claim all of your winnings as income? With taxes, the winnings as the losses are figured as two...
