4/14    Has anyone not done their taxes yet?
        \_ I'm doing them tonnight and I have a question 'cause my W-2 isn't
           in front of me.  On the CA form 540 where it says "Total wages (W-2
           box 16)" is that gross wages, or wages after witholding?  Where it
           says "Total tax withheld (W-2 box 17)" is that all witholdings, or
           just the state witholding?
           I don't need a tax expert, just someone with their W-2 at hand.
           \_ gross wages before withholding; just state withholding.
              \_ Thank you.
        \_ I did mine last night.  I use TurboTax, and they annually have
           clogged up servers for online filing on the last night.

              \_ ED! ED is the STANDARD UNFUNNY JOKE!
                \_ I started learning/using ed recently.  It's actually a very
                   enlightening process. --darin
              \_ A good friend uses only ed.  It works for her and apparently
                 she's too lazy to learn anything else.
                 \_ If she was serious she'd use sed and cat.  ed users are
                    weak.  SED!
        \_ Taxes?  Didn't I just do those last year?
           \_ Bear tax?  Let the bears pay the bear tax.  I pay the Homer tax!

3/5     My dad is retired and has no income. My income tax bracket is
        pretty high. If I open up a joint high interest CD account with
        him and the INT-1099 comes, is it possible to file it under him
        100% to take advantage of the lower tax?
        \_ IRS says the interest is allocated according to who allocated
           the assets. Do you think it will generate enough interest to
