I just finished
In the course of doing so, I found a sweepstakes form Zany Dad had filled out to win a "handy chore tractor." ("Can you ever have too many tractors?" the form asks. "Yes, you can," I reply.) Thank God Zany Dad is so disorganized he forgot to mail in the form, because I don't think our neighbors would have appreciated a 4,000-pound tractor sitting in our tiny backyard.
The other irony is that the sweepstakes entry was made out under MY name, not his. This is because Zany Dad is a Privacy Freak. So not only did he want a tractor he'd have no use or room for in our urban neighborhood, he didn't want anyone to know it was his.

One of my goals for this week was to mail in the amended 1040x form for people like me who multiply 1000x2 to determine the child tax credit, and then enter 200 as the total. Did I mention this was for 2006? Did I mention I have to refile for several other years? Hello, Turbo Tax...I just bought it and hope it will save me from the embarrassment of math errors.
Zany dad sounds like a lot of fun. I know a place where you could donate the tractor, and get a nice deduction. oh, but you won it as a prize, so, financially, it's a wash.
If Zany Dad had won the tractor, we could have declared it as a dependent...
