I'm halfway through collecting my numbers. I hate companies that don't mail 1099s for under 500 rev. makes it much harder to find everything, and i still need to report the income :/
Owning a house is mint. I mean, you end up paying the interest to the bank (money you likely would have paid in rent anyway), but you get to write it off. So, you still lose money. lol but not as much. It's the easiest way to break the standard deduction (6300 if i recall). Most new home owners would pay over $1000 a month in interest, and property taxes, etc all come off too. I also stuff a ton of money into my traditional 401k to keep my reported earnings lower than they should be.
