Chris. there is no difference here between private and public. Anything disclosed to the IRS is zipped lips.

But that IRS info is shared with the SSA, as is My checking account, the SSA can see what's in My checking account.

Me I pay property taxes, sales and excise on whatever I buy in CA, anything from outside CA or the USA, I don't, but then I have no way to do so and I've asked the SSA and they said No, so paying any sales tax thru a CA income tax form is impossible.

Vic, this is what you have to follow then you are good to go. Doesn't cost you a dime. All I can say, better safe then sorry.

Romney and Ryan do lie a lot.

Of course. They are both politicians, therefore it's given.

For one politician to accuse another of lying is nothing but sheer, bare faced hypocrisy.

T.A.

The only place Romney/Ryan possibly doesn't lie at is in legislation...

Republicans in power today are Barry Goldwater Republicans, My Dad was an Eisenhower Republican...

Sorry Uli, but Supplemental Security Income is not Taxable Income, so that link is interesting for all of maybe 5 seconds... And to Me quite useless...

VW - not quite -- Goldwater was more libertarian -- and pro-choice (his wife was an executive officer of Planned Parenthood in Arizona. Goldwater was also dismissive of the religious right. As to taxes, he voted against the Democratic bill to reduce taxes in 1964.

I take your point though -- I moved to Arizona back in 1979. I was a Lowell Weicker Republican from Connecticut. Out here, these days, that makes me a socialist.

Vic, that is not the point. You buy online and that is the point.

Well I just buy from whoever sells whatever for the least, if that includes sales tax for CA, then I pay the sales taxes and shipping costs if that's the lowest total price, considering where I live, what I buy online may not be available nearby in Barstow and forget about Yermo, that's been a dead zone for retail and has been since before 2004 when I moved out here. If there is something that I want and it's available locally I buy it locally, Royal Purple 5w30 motor oil for the car costs less locally from O'Reilly Auto Parts than it would with shipping, even with tax. Online I usually restrict buying stuff(technical term, sorry) that isn't available at all locally or that is prohibitive for Me to buy locally, like Science Diet dry cat food, currently I could buy that for $22.62 online(w/tax) or I could possibly drive 50-60 miles each way and buy it from a store in nearby Victorville CA(the car gets 30 miles to the gallon and the price right now for 87 octane is $4.459 a gallon) and since My A/C does not work right that makes for a very hot dry trip just for a 7lb bag, plus the gas would cost Me $17.84 for the round trip and My income is not adequate now, plus Ryan would like to cut and cap My income by 26%(back to 2007 levels). Other items like DVD's or a usb 3.0 to 2.0 adapter cable or an EVGA power booster card are simply not available as their niche items, so their not carried locally or even within 100 miles of here. I buy whole eggs in powdered form online in a #10 can, that can't be found within 70 miles of here and being food is not taxable.

If I missed the point of what You're trying to say, I'm sorry, You might need to spell it out for Me...

Very tight. The US floats, and not a leek in sight ...

maybe I should take a two week break. I'm tired.)


I'd rather you didn't. I may not agree with about 70% of what you say, and I may not like your long diatribes when you use 'stream of conscious' writing styles, I do enjoy seeing other people's perspectives. This forum would be boring if everyone agreed.


I agree with BlankOzzManFan! :)
