No, this is a very stupid question. Quoth your article:

That is something people say so that stupid people don’t feel stupid.

But in answer to your question, it apparently comes before even the Original Trilogy (Episodes 4, 5, and 6) because the Death Star is just being built. So it’s definitely before The Force Awakens (number 7, the most recent ones.) It’s a standalone story, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t be canon, since they don’t…

This is Deadspin

I was talking to someone about this bill yesterday and I just don’t understand what these people are scared of? Do they seriously think that a man with a full beard is just going to waltz into the ladies room with impunity? And if he did...what’s he going to do in there? Stare at a bunch of closed doors? And is ANYONE…

I feel like the NBA should just go ahead and pull it now instead of waiting to see if they fix this abomination of a law. Then they should tell the state legislators that until this law is removed from the books that North Carolina will never see another NBA related event of any magnitude again. And then just follow…

I haven’t heard from them since... dum dum dummmm.

This is simply not true. Many people have home-based businesses, and file their taxes with the subsequent deductions and profit/loss on a schedule C (if not incorporated) form. This stuff isn’t rocket science. If your friends “got fucked” it’s because they were likely attempting to do things the tax code doesn’t…

I don’t know if the actual phrase appears in the code, but we always tell clients the clothing has to be such that its only purpose is work. Suits, no; scrubs, yes.

Fun fact: the year the IRS started requiring SSNs for dependents, there were 2 million fewer children than the year before. HMMMMM

Ya. Don’t do the dry cleaning thing either. Waste of time and is only applicable to clothes that are used specifically and only for your profession.

What about the weapons I contributed to the IRA? Oh wait, wrong IRA... Forget I mentioned it.

Deductions outside of itemized (such as student loan interest) are always great if you are able to take advantage.

However, if you are not a homeowner, TAKE THE STANDARD DEDUCTION. There are a few itemizable deductions that don’t pertain to home ownership, such as charitable donations, but in most cases, they will…

You can always take Hillbilly Jim’s advice:

How many of your friends did you report to the IRS so that you could win that bar argument? If the answer is 0, you’re not trying hard enough.

I prefer to think of it as the novelization of a recurring tragedy.

Home office deductions are probably one of the biggest audit triggers, be careful. Also useful to share these maybe a little bit before April 6th, lol.

I’m going to need you cc info, mothers maiden name, and your social security number. I’ll contact you once it’s all set up.

This is the Adequate Man article we deserve.
