So, in return for giving me an extra $84 a year in my pay packet, they take over $2,000! I am sure there are many others in the same boat.

Thanks a lot repubs!

You already tried to claim "all work related expenses have been removed"

Yet all of these are still there as well as others.....

Line 8:  Advertising
Line 9:  Car and Truck expenses
Line 10:  Commissions and fees
Line 11:  Contract Labor
Line 12:
Line 12:  Depletion . .
Line 13  Depreciation and section 179 expense deduction (not included in Part III)
Line 14:  Employee benefit programs  (other than on line 19)
Line 15:  Insurance (other than health)
Line 16:  Interest (see instructions)
a) Mortgage (paid to banks, etc.)
b) Other . . . . . .
Line 17:  Legal and professional services
Line 18:  Office expense (see instructions)
Line 19:  Pension and profit-sharing plans .
Line 20: Rent or lease (see instructions)
a) Vehicles, machinery, and equipment
b) Other business property . . .
Line 21:  Repairs and maintenance . . .
Line 22:  Supplies (not included in Part III)
Line 23:  Taxes and licenses . . . . .
Line 24:  Travel and meals:
a Travel . . . . . . . . .
b Deductible meals (see instructions) . . . . . . .
Line 25:  Utilities . . . . . . . .
Line 26:  Wages (less employment credits)
Line 27:  Other expenses (from line 48)

So how does that equate to ALL?  Something doesnt ring true my friend

I just yesterday got through opening every forum and opening the 1st topic of each forum in order to set the last read pointer so I could actually see which forums actually had new posts when I log in.....It is a real PITA to do and takes a while.....

Have done so at least a dozen times since the upgrade.....only to find the entire site reset to unread within a day or two.....about ready to give up and forget the forums. Where on earth is the option to mark all forums as read in one click that was mentioned would be forthcoming several months ago?

Miscellaneous itemized deductions are those deductions that would have been subject to the 2 percent of adjusted gross income limitation. See Line 16, later, for a list of other itemized deductions you can still claim in addition to the ones claimed using lines 1 through 15."

    You have not indicated where you found that list, but I suspect that it is for business owners, not employees.

    I stand by my statement.

Its on Schedule C for business deductions......as you were told several days ago by Rich. He and I both have businesses. You are correct though it wouldnt apply to you although you might want to talk to a tax attorney regarding incorporating yourself, it might be advantageous for you tax wise. You wont find any sympathy here regarding the removal of deductions for foreign properties though.

I will allow you may just exist in that void often found when complex simplifications result in unintended consequences no one considered when attempting to simplify one of the more complex set of rules on the planet....the tax code

She was definitely massaging her G-spot with most of that verbose upchuck. Almost as if she only just discovered it lol

Just a heads up.....they were again all set to unread this morning when I logged in.

Edit: Some good news though..... It appears the problem with time zones has been resolved!!

Yep looks like the time zone issues have been resolved.....which might explain why all the last read pointers got reset again lol

Not to mention a number of those walls were subsidized or even paid for in full by us with Dimcrats voting FOR the funding to do so.....Where were their morals then? SNORT!!

Working ok here.....what browser are you using?
