Well, I just rechecked everything for the uptenth time and the only thing that I can see if that they do not know what they are doing the IRS that is. I mean if they bothered to check the SSN they would see that the ones related to me have nothing to do with the wife's work. All because I did not say that I was leaving the house and going to store stop A then store stop B then gas station stop C and then restaurant stop D followed by a postal stop E. Then Restaurant stop F and then stop G at home again. And I also need the address that I went to and the name of the place and what I did while I was there and I have to keep The W2 work separate from the 1099 work which I have to include because the company only paid 31 cents a mile and I drove over 19,000 miles in 2015.
This merely underscores the need for exquisite record keeping -- the one thing I am very good at! I am perfectly capable of proving, with written records, that, yes, I did leave the house and went to Store A then Store B and then gas station C and then shop D, and postal shop E. The addresses are on the first page of the guidelines, which I ALWAYS print out (and to which I attach receipt/business card, whatever).
And W2 miles -- well, that's a "business expense deduction", only deductible if you ITEMIZE, NOT THE SAME THING as Schedule C AT ALL. Different form, different rules, etc., etc., etc.
You REALLY need a tax pro, to file those amended returns for you!!!!
