John: Conrad is right - set up an appointment with a CPA and retain that person for the future(doing your taxes). This may seem like a big expense initially, but it is well worth the money spent up front and for the future. Personally, I would never attempt to do my own taxes since the laws and numbers seem to change monthly. I have better things to do than to keep up with the IRS. That's what a CPA does. ..and remember one thing: tools and parts are only 'horribly' expensive until you use them and get paid to use them. At that point they become a cheap investment for your income. -Phil Bondi(Fl)
