    I had a cleaning business. I lost my clients in 08. I really didn't look for any clients. I didn't sell it. I just stopped cleaning offices. So I'm not sure what to put in regard to the business.

    So you are upset at me cause I want your contributers out of office cause they are crooks. I can see your point if they aways have money then you can stay on the aire. Great plan. Maybe you should think about the people of this country instead of your cash flow.

    According to the Forbes list of the world richest person, Carlos Slim Helu is at the top of that list, however it should be noted that, Bill Gates has given away half of his wealth to charity.

    Josh,
    Thank you for the alert and posting the article about taxing the 2009 Social Security stimulus payment. I use TurboTax and was not sure were to post this payment, but one of your articles mentioned IRS 1040 schedule M. I checked there to find that TurboTax had automatically posted the S.S. stimulus payment there.
