it works for me Tickle May 22 #34

an extra $4000 deduction would translate into a reduction of tax owed by $400 to $500 at most. Wiz Imp May 22 #36

That $400 will be the increase on food. Meadowoak May 22 #51

I did hire an attorney from the beginning. JMCKUSICK May 23 #59

Good. 21 months is a long time. BTW, I'm probably going to lose my healthcare. At least I have no Doodley May 23 #60
