Larry, we see this a lot, that people get a 1099 for income they paid taxes on in an earlier year. Do you do a schedule C? If so, rather than leaving out the income, your CPA may want to include it in gross receipts, and just put on an additional deduction item and call it "2015 1099-MISC received for income reported in 2014" or some variation on that.
(Of course, you need to verify that it actually was reported in 2014, since your accountant may not have known to count it in 2014 with no 1099 that year.)

this happens often? I find that quite disturbing.

Since I retired from my job and had to turn the laptop back in, I have not had a computer with Office or Word or anything. I finally got my new computer back with all the stuff I want installed. Mostly. Now I just have to get used to a new keyboard and the awful touch pad (or whatever you call it) that allows the cursor to move around. I don't know about this.

DR Laura, I hate my touchpad so much I just got a regular usb mouse. I am much happier

I guess I'm the dissenter here. When I bought my Macbook I was used to a mouse and didn't expect to like the trackpad, so I bought a new mouse. As it happens, I took to the trackpad right away and never use the mouse. I will say I find the mouse faster, but I often have the Mac in my lap and then the trackpad is much more convenient.

I think it depends on the lap top. I loved the track pad on one of my older computers. This one, not so much

I'm sure that's true. I had a terrible time with the touchscreen on the Android phone I bought. I hated it! (Hated everything about the Android.) I returned it and bought an iPhone. The touchscreen on the iPhone is quite different, much more sensitive, and what I intended to type actually registers. Huge difference.

Don't know the final total, but with 94% counted it's Clinton 49.9% and Sanders 49.6% Pretty amazing when you think no one here even knew who he was 9 months ago

Quite amazing. I don't think the Clinton camp were expecting it, either.

Yes, this episode of Downton was a bit of a shocker. Other than that, no spoilers.

Thank you. I just watched episode 1. I'd missed it because it was no longer available on the PBS site. I'll rewatch the other episodes before I go one to the current one.

Glad to hear about the HHW mini reunion and TCB's stellar performance and see the pics.

DR John G, your weekend sounds lovely. I often find that a few days away does wonders.

They do. I won't have another weekend like that until the end of February, when I'm headed to South Padre Island for a few days.

Tomorrow night is Joshua Bell in concert. I saw him 20+ years ago when he was a wunderkind performer. It'll be interesting to see and hear how he is now that he's more mature.

I liked what I saw of "Grease" last night.

I thought it MUCH better than that made-for-TV mess from a number of years back that followed the auditons/eliminations process week after week.

The sets were cool, the music pretty well done (not always miked effectively). The vocals were good and the copycat performances were "expected" by the audience, I'm guessing. I don't hate Julieanne Hough and was happy to hear that she has more than just the helium voice she uses on DWTS. I thought her voice quite adequate for Sandy.

I'm not raving about it, but it was -- from what I saw in bits and pieces -- better than recent stuff done elsewhere on TV. LOVED RIZZO!!!!!!

Me too. Rizzo was fantastic!

JRand, my mom said she called social security and they said no paperwork or appointment was necessary and that they would just cancel her check and she would receive a check in the amount my dad was receiving each month.

Seems remarkably efficient and too good to be true....what was your experience?

There is so much viciousness in politics today. And it doesn't end on election day.

He was, maybe, 24 or 25 and he was with his little daughter who was maybe five years old.

TCB · « **Reply #236 on:** February 01, 2016, 10:32:47 PM »

Both sides of his face were covered with tattoos.

TCB · « **Reply #237 on:** February 01, 2016, 10:35:29 PM »

In addition, he had those ~~large~~ huge hoops in his ear lobes.

TCB · « **Reply #238 on:** February 01, 2016, 10:37:51 PM »

He was a vision. I suppose he is probably a musician. He was skinny enough to be a heroin addict.

Oh lord, I have become an old man.
