Yucky job done

I've completed my half sis's U.S. Tax returns. Unfortunately, she didn't keep up with filing them, after I got her caught up back in 2021 (thru 2020), so I had 4 years to do. The first 3 years are fairly quick and easy, with only 3 forms needed, but I do have to convert her Canadian earnings to U.S. Dollars for each year. Then for 2024, since she earned U.S. income from working for the company I work for, her return is a bit more involved with added forms, since it's considered self employment income. She will owe some social security & medicare taxes on these earnings, but I'm guessing she will be able to then write those taxes paid, off, on her Canadian return.  The sad part is, she will never make enough to ever get any of these payments she will make to SS back. She would need to work 10 years and put into it each year. Maybe she will....I won't be working this job for 10 more years LOL.

My dd cracks me up. They are coming over here the first weekend in May and the 4 of us are going to a car show about 4 hours away and staying in an airbnb for the weekend. She just sent me their half of the lodging via Zelle and in the email I got from Zelle she added a message "for Antique shopping weekend...I mean car show weekend" LOL. The guys will be looking at 700-800 cars...we'll be shopping, haha.

I watched a funny movie last night I had never seen before. The Other Woman with Cameron Diaz, from 2014. I can't remember the other main actress's name in the movie, but she was very funny.  She was very good at the physical comedy aspect of the movie.

  1. It is good she has you to help with the taxes. I will have to look up the movie since it sounds like one I would enjoy.
