Laura, this was on google.



Types of Jury Pay

Compensation that you receive for your service as a juror is taxable income. Reimbursements for such things as meals, lodging and parking fees are, however, not income. In the federal court system, for example, you receive $40 a day for serving on a jury. That's income, and it's taxable. If you drive to and from the courthouse, the government will also pay you about 50 cents a mile for your trouble. That's a reimbursement, and you don't have to report it on your taxes or pay any income taxes on it.

I think this should link that page   https://www.sapling.com/7831188/jury-duty-pay-reported-irs

FJL, yes came through fine.  I immediately filed a dispute.

Thanks, FJL. They used to give out bus passes. Now they figure mileage. I guess no one used the bus passes and complained about having to pay for parking. I have always taken the bus or light rail downtown.

I come out ahead on mileage. But I was out of cash this time at the end of the month and was scrounging for change to pay for the bus passes. I didn't get the fee/reimbursement until after it was over.

[Laura]

One thing I never knew before was that the losing party gets charged for the jury fees. I found it in the history of the case online.

[Laura]

The previous two times I was called I didn't get cast in the role of juror. They gave bus passes those times. That's why I didn't remember what to do about the mileage, taxwise.

Glad the question could be answered so easily.  As a tax person used to using the research books, it's interesting to see so much is findable on google in plain English that people used to need to come to tax preparers for.  (That might cut down on the questions we really can't charge clients for.  i don't think it will make more people do their own returns, but we'll see next year, I guess.)

Is that just the HHW joke you're using?   Or did Skip tell you about the dispute I  had to put in the past few days?

Now, I've got to remember what I did this time that I didn't remember to do the last two times.

Had something new to me today: white velvet cake. It’s like red velvet cake without the dye and the cocoa powder.

It was with buttercream frosting and lemon curd. Must revisit when I’m home.

It sound's delicious.

[Jane]

I use Penzy’s. Good stuff.

I am not familiar with it.

Oh, my...it does!!

I am pleased that tonight we watched THE POST.

FJL, just our standard haineshisway.com joke about filing a dispute.

[bk]

No posts in over two hours?  Really?

[Jane]

It is unusually quiet tonigjt.

[George]

I was watching "Suits."

[George]

I'm about five episodes behind and want to see Meghan Markle's last episodes.

[George]

And finish the season.

[George]

That's my excuse...what's everyone else's??
