Yeah, I vaguley remeber seeing "tips" on my tax returns, but I have never gotten tips, so I never really thought about it. What really surprised me was the side jobs/summer jobs being taxed. I guess if the kid is 14, can't drink, can't vote he is still expected to pay taxes becuase he mowed the neighbors lawn. Regarding tips, see above. As far as yard sales, after spending a few minutes, I could not locate this law for state or federal levels, only local levels. So could you please point out where this is written at? Since you are all-knowing I mean. I can't wait until I am your age so there will be nothing left for me to learn. Must be cool. I Have you not read any of my other posts on here? I'll be the first to tell you I don't know everything. I like debate, I like getting discussions going. It allows me to expand my thinking. Debate is the key to the knowledge. Knowledge is the key to the universe. I think I'll wait until the next time you post something incorrect and naive. Then I will point it out to you, say your dumb and should quit replying to stuff.
