My life in receipts.
A. One manila folder marked: “Expenses accounted for.”
Not a good sign.
B. Pile of coffee receipts.
All the Coffee Bean and Starbucks I drank in the name of Business.
C. Glass of water I drank two days ago.
It also happens to be the last glass of water I drank.
D. Two copies of the same W2 with different amounts on them.
Which one is correct? Find out this Fall on ABC’s “Is My Employer Screwing Me Over?”
E. Stack of pizza receipts.
According to my records, I had a lot of slumber parties in 2008. Are slumber parties write-offs if they are for generating material that you never get paid for?
F. Pants I threw off in the middle of the night.
I think my exact words were, “Who in their right mind can do taxes while wearing pants?!”
G. Tissues for the tears.
Self-explanatory.
H. Faxed copy of a receipt for a cable box I returned three years ago, yet keeps coming back into my life through a misinformed collections agency.
What does that have to do with my taxes? Probably nothing, but my business pays for half of my cable so if Time Warner continues to come after me, I’m going after my business.
I. Letter from ex-husband with the missing 1099!
I probably shouldn’t act so surprised.
J. Computer with 18 open screens.
Is it okay to take a picture of my business computer if the photo isn’t being used for business?
