Denisegg, I have a very stressful career and benefit greatly with personal messages. First, is this deductible medical related cost? If so, the best ads I see in the local paper for messages feature young and beautiful girls like Amber and Crystal but their rates are much higher. Still fully deductible? Thank you in advance!

I don't think you can count expenses with pay porn sites and the "personal messages" from them. I'm just saying....

those aren't "message girls". Their hookers... BIG difference. BIG, BIG difference.

Hey Denise,

Can I write off the expenses for a scientific experiment? I'm going to blow up a scuba tank in a car (probably the wife's car) to see what happens. Is the tank cost and fill deductible?

Are you in the scuba tank industry as a profession? Do you manufacture, distribute or do research and develop on tanks? If so, the tank could be considered a deduction, but blowing up the wife's car is strictly hobby or entertainment related and therefore not deductible.

Okay, I do have a serious question.

I live in Florida but work in Alabama. I also have a business in Florida. I pay Alabama state income tax out of my paycheck and have to file taxes. Does Alabama get to count my business income when calculating my state income tax obligation? Why do I even have to pay Alabama state income tax if I don't live there or use any of the services? Sure I use the roads to get to work, but I also get gas in Alabama, which includes taxation for road maintenance.

If you earn a wage in another state, that wage is taxable to that state, even if you do not live in that state. It is called "Income Tax" for a reason.

you don't have to count your Florida Business in Alabama on your state return. (but you do on your Federal Return).

Just like you don't have to count your Florida bank account 1099-INT (interest) or Brokerage income for accounts you have based in Florida on your Alabama State return.

you only have to count/pay w-2 or 1099 from your Alabama employer on your Alabama state return.

Why thank you Mike for your expertise in my absence.

That's what I thought, but last year when we did our taxes, my wife was the only one working in Alabama. We didn't include her Florida income, but Alabama returned a modified return with less of a return in taxes. The letter of explanation stated something to the extent of the Florida income having to be accounted for.

What type of Alabama form did you file? You should file a Non Resident form and file the information requested on the form.

You'll probably have to claim the life insurance money if your wife is in the car.

Actually, life insurance is not taxable on a Federal Income tax return, but is included in the value of the estate for estate tax purposes.

If you are stressed, a prescription for valium or xanax from a registered physician is deductible. IF you choose the personal columns, you are on your own.
