Firefly and taxes
I was googleling about trying to figure out what I'd need to photograph an aurora when I came across this little news bit:
Firefly Mission to Study Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flashes
http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2010/29jan_firefly.htm
"...are planning to launch a tiny, football-sized satellite called Firefly in 2010 or 2011. Because of its small size, Firefly will cost less than $1 million — about 100 times cheaper than what satellite missions normally cost."
It made me smile. :)
Also, I attempted to efile my taxes tonight. The feds bounced it back once because I forgot the part where I have to fill in an e-W2. :::sigh::: I hate learning curves and trying to understand jibberjabber tax form instructions like this:
"Here's the reason for the rejection:
Error Code 0103: Form 1040/1040A/1040EZ - Total Federal Income Tax withholding shown on tax form must equal the sum of withholding on Other 1099 and AK Dividend, withholding from Schedule K-1, withholding on Form W-2, and W-2GU withholding on any Form 1099-R and withholding on Form W-2G. Exception: Do not reject when withholdings on the tax form exceed withholdings statements by $5.00 or less. identified as a Stimulus Payment return (special processing literal "ESP" in Form 1040A)."
Oh! Yes! I understand completely what I need to fix.
Not.
I'm waiting for it to be bounced back again.
