so, I need to get a job or something just for like, a minute, for tax purposes. If I worked at all this year, even if I only made 30 bucks, we can file jointly and get almost 1300 extra dollars.

but, I have not worked. I sold some shit on half.com, I did some surveys, but nothing that seems to give me a fucking w2, unless I made 300 dollars from them.

I suck at getting jobs, also, and I'd really suck at it if I knew I was quitting the minute I worked enough to get a 30 dollar w2.

I can't just go rock a shift at my old restaurant, because it's been too long, and I have a purple mohawk and they're all corporate.

So, should I try to get a job and quit after the first day? I really suck at job hunting/interviwing/etc. wugh.



Ideas?

Wait, you can't file jointly if one spouse hasn't worked? I've been doing my taxes wrong. :(

Wait, I can? I assumed I couldn't, just because if you file jointly they ask for spouse income.

I file my taxes through an online service and they've never yelled at me for filing joint with only one income, so...

ah, the IRS has it here.

You can choose married filing jointly as your filing status if you are married and both you and your spouse agree to file a joint return. On a joint return, you report your combined income and deduct your combined allowable expenses. You can file a joint return even if one of you had no income or deductions.

Man, I've helped people before, but I never thought I'd be giving out tax advice. :) Glad to be of service!

Yay. I was worried she'd have to risk her life at Wal-Mart or something.

I have not seen this purple mohawk. I demand pictures.

I would imagine that most retail places would be hiring now that it's holiday shopping season? You could always work at Wal-mart for a day.
