another quickie (update that is)

[magicicada]

finished my HR block exam. i don't feel at all good about part I, but neither does anyone else. i found a credit that everyone else had missed, but my AGI does not seem to match the consensus. we'll see. there's beaucoup extra credit if you get exactly the right refund and i was really hoping to nail it. thursday's class is just to go over 2003 changes and that'll be it! we're going to take in snacks so tomorrow will be baking day. i'm making banana bread for the class and chocolate cookies for h_postmortemus to celebrate the latest weight loss.

my sister will be at 37 weeks tomorrow, so i am feeling much more relaxed about the impending nephew.

just received irritating email from step mom in law, but do not have time to go into it.

Russell Stover's also has a factory store in Wildwood, south of Ocala. Mmm... slightly imperfect peanut brittle... pointy!

Darn! I was hoping you would keep him.

You rock!

Is there anything I should know about selling my house vis-a-vis taxes or should I go do my own research? ;)

[gardenwaltz.livejournal.com]

my informal, off-the-cuff answer is: yer fine, don't worry about it. selling a primary home does not have tax consequences. now, once you've got the loot, you may wish to do some strategizing with what you do with it to avoid tax on the interest. it depends a lot on when you are thinking of buying another home.

Not buying another in the next year. I assume by 'interest' you mean something like 'profit after costs of selling and/or moving'.

If there's something I should go read, I'll be glad to.

[gardenwaltz.livejournal.com]

no, i mean the interest that will acrue on the profit which you put in the bank. re: reading, i am sure there's a pub. i'll check my textbooks.
