I spoke to a Verizon rep today that convinced me to buy FiOS, the fiber optic internet service thats supposed to be 20x quicker than my current DSL service. The monthly charge is $29.99 for the first six months. Does this sound right? Does anyone have FiOS and do you like it?

or does anyone else think that "Little Miss Sunshine" getting the SAG award for best picture is ridiculous? Especially when its up against movies like "The Queen", "Departed" and "Dreamgirls" ?

I came across this website offering free tax software to prepare your tax return for free. It even claims that you can e-file for free. I've always used TurboTax and paid for the software and to e-file. Has anyone ever used this software? Is there a catch?

My friend and her husband recently lost their 11 month old son. Im sending out my Christmas cards and Im not sure of the appropriate wording to use. I dont want to just say "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year". It must be a difficult time for them to celebrate the holidays without their baby. Any suggestions? Thanks.

A couple will report approximately $40,000 in income for 2006 (per W-2s). The husband also gets paid in cash from his employer totalling $60,000 for the year. He wants to report this income so as not to raise a red flag with the IRS. He feels that his expenses (ie mortgage interest, taxes) reflect that of a person with alot more than $40,000 of income. Would he report this extra income on Sch C.? Would it be subject to self-employment tax even though he is not self-employed? Could it be reported as income not subject to S/E tax? He does not want to report his employer.

Any advice would be appreciated, from knowledgable tax preparers only, please. Thank you.
