you might want to take it up with TurboTax, because they have it all over their website. There are other sources on the web that say the same. http://turbotaxblog.typepad.com/turbotax_blog/2009/02/can-i-claim-my-girlfriend-as-a-dependent-.html Can I Claim my Girlfriend as a Dependent? This...

legal note: I am not a tax specialist all my advice should be run by a professional, certified tax associated or assume all risk! I just did my taxes, since I'm a grad student I got the Lifelong Learning Credit and I live with my girlfriend, who I also looked into as claiming as a dependent...

if she is NOT filing taxes or makes less then $3500, but lives with you full time she would qualify as an adult dependent and you could write her off as such and also you can came one of the Education credits (lifelong or Hope)...

oh, if they did never mind, I didn't see that in the thread. Cheers, Josh

Gresham, Do you travel for work? If you are in the "marine" business, you could probably write off all "marine" travel expenses, and if a computer is necessary for your job (graphic designing?) that should count too and it would be worthwhile write off if you included with travel expenses...

PS: For these two deductions you just need the cost of tuition/fees, what the university billed you(family), and any info on scholarships grants, if they received a 1098-T its all there, no need to itemize anything, since its just the tuition/fees. Books, computers, etc don't count UNLESS the...

you might be able to write it off, is this person living in your household, a dependent or a girlfriend? Are they filing taxes too? Check out the Life Long Learning Credit or if this student is in their first or second year of college the Hope Credit...

Hi All, So I'm in the process of buying a used boat from private party and was thinking it sure would be easier to use PayPal then try to get all that money into my checking account. What are the transaction fees in doing a sale like this? Any tips in setting up a PayPal account? Thanks...

haha, yeah all my rock was dry, clean, base rock, so no decay there, its all from the shrimp. So toss it? Don't I need a source of N?

just started cycling a tank in the living room, put in a cocktail shrimp and a few mysis cubes to start it off and man is it rancid! Its stinking up the whole house, anyone have any recommendations on odor control? Wishing I had some cured rock in there....its all dry/base. Thanks, Josh

anyone want to slit a boat with me ;P http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/boa/961740328.html

ha, you wish! I'm actually excited, there are lots of slips opening up, everyone is pulling their pleasure cruisers (thanks Wall Street!) unfortunately small boats, especially fishing boats keep their value well and in a bad economy too...but the time is right if you want a sport boat or...

Mike, there is always time to learn! Have you ever thought about buying a boat? We'll go take a look at Boston Whaler dealer sometime ;)

haha, yeah Panama was definately a joke! the boat is actually my buddies, bequest to him by his father, its a mid 90's 17' Boston Whaler Montauk with a 90hsp on it. Its all geared for fishing so we were thinking about having it sent out. I have it posted on a uShip (ebay for shipping), right...

i do a lot of spatial mapping and programming, so the more monitors the better, so I'd say: 19"+22"+19" :) just make sure you PSU can support an extra video card ;P

trying to figure the best way (or if its worth it) to ship a 17' Boston Whaler Montuak w/ trailer from Road Island to Berkeley. Option 1: Rent a truck and drive it (gas is cheap right now, and getting cheaper) Option 2: Rent a uHaul 24' and put the whole thing in the back (probably more...

pick up a Linksys WRT54G on Craig's list, try to get a version 2, 3, or 4, not 1 or 5. Then install third party firmware, currently I run tomato (http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato), but lots of people like DD-WRT (http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv3/). These firmwares are more stable and control...

Gresham, I haven't seen any gossip, slandering or misinformation in this thread. I realize it is hard to see friends and colleagues suffer, but I wouldn't discount this from BAR's involvement in the industry or our mission statement. The truth of the matter is, BAR is a product of the...

Mike, you broke the first rule of "coral fight club": Do not talk about "coral fight club" ;) hilarious
