The investment clubs are, of course, limited partnerships. With qualified and unqualified dividends. <br /><br />Margaret, Gloria and Julie--thanks for sympathizing with my whining!<br /><br />Warren, might as well get to it. It doesn't go away, and just gets much worse (and more expensive) if you miss the deadlines.KM Rockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973749764907859829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-51130507102754985042018-04-10T11:56:13.227-04:002018-04-10T11:56:13.227-04:00That reminds me of all I have to get done.

I'm lucky that my tax returns are pretty simple compared to yours, and also I have a super great tax person who is worth the money I pay her every year. She has a lot of clients, too. This year I'm getting a lot of money back in income taxes overpaid and in my Ohio income tax, too.

Those transferred to my mother after his death, and I do her taxes. It’s a good thing Dad has already passed because this year after I sold the things, I could have killed him for the time it took me to figure out the tax ramifications.<br /><br />The only good thing is that I did it while Mom was alive; if I had split the things after her death to her three children, I would have had to do that work in triplicate.<br /><br />And yesterday -- long after I filed Mom's taxes, Vanguard just issued revised 1099s that reclassified interest as qualified dividends. The good news is that Mom will save a little bit of money. The bad news is that I have a 1040 X in my future. <br />Jim Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090252530437277145noreply@blogger.com
