April 15th is around the corner, and that not only means chirping birds & spring flowers, it also means 1099’s long forms and short forms. Yes-it means TAX TIME.
H&R Block Tax Question & Answer
Tuesday March 30th, 8pm
Online & Free!
Tax time always seems to have more questions than answers, so I was thrilled when H&R Block asked me to host a 1hr live question and answer session with one of their tax professionals.
This year is the first year that “Upstate Media LLC” has been in existence, so I know I have a lot of business questions. I know I can’t be the only one out there!
Check back here and on the H&R Block Q&A Facebook Event Page for updates on the event. The event link will be posted in both places eventually.

I don’t think I have any questions. I did look into if our health premiums were tax deductible and they are not.
at what point do you need to claim winnings? is there a limit as to what does not need to be claimed?
How much of SSI is taxable income?? Thanks
My husband is an owner operater truck driver, could he do our taxes with this product?. We currently pay a tax preparer $450 a year to do our taxes. The fee for the tax preparer is tax deductible
We already filed our taxes this year so I was thinking that I wouldn’t enter until you mentioned that this software could be used next year:-)
“Journal of Accountancy” had this article about the “Tax Provisions in the Health Care Act”: http://www.journalofaccountancy.com/Web/20102724.htm. I wonder if H & R Block has any comments on if they expect the new legislation to affect an “average” tax payer and if so, how.
I would attend the question-and-answer session, but I’ll be in an accounting class at that time, taking an accounting exam.
When you’re employed as an independent contractor, what exactly can you deduct as business expenses? If you take the metro to the job site every day, can you deduct the metro fare?
Thanks!
