NBC greenlights US Marshall series....sounds like a cross of Justified and In Plain Sight... - Remlik May 10, 15:54 4
- I'm not 100% on board with this, but I might check it out for the K-ville connection. -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 15:56
- Or US Marshalls... -- nm - David May 10, 15:56 2
  - jeez, where'd you pull that out from?! -- nm - Reagen May 10, 16:08

lir Bery, I mentioned "thinking about filing bankruptcy" and he said "you have to tell me if you're going to do that"..... I said "No, actually I - CrankYanker May 10, 15:43 50
- Thanks for all the comments....I will make some inquiries with Sacramento tomorrow. -- nm - CrankYanker May 10, 16:04
- First thing I would check is that 20 year bullshit. Everywhere I've heard of is only 7 years back. -- nm - Beaker May 10, 15:57 17
  - unless there was deliberate fraud. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 16:06
  - What I've heard is that you only need to keep your records for 7 years after filing. But even that could be wrong ... -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 16:04 6
    - 7 years is it and then gone (it's what we always told our clients). -- nm - Beaker May 10, 16:07 4
      - federal, yes -- nm - sherlock homie May 10, 16:11 3
        
        I assume he's talking about Canadian taxes - Reagen May 10, 16:13
        
        In NY state there is no limitation if you did not file at all that year. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 16:12 1
        
        well none of the limitations periods are triggered until you actually file a return -- nm - sherlock homie May 10, 16:14
    - That's a "general rule of thumb", but how does someone know that this situation isn't going to pop up. -- nm - CrankYanker May 10, 16:06
  - This is what I really need to check in to and will tell me if the guy is legit. I've always been told 10 years past filing date is the cutoff. - CrankYanker May 10, 16:01 8
    - This site says "In California, the statute of limitations for unpaid tax debt is 20 years." - CovingtonCat May 10, 16:05 5
      - Interesting that it doesn't say "after date of assessment" like all the other States. Either way, "fuck me"! 20 years? -- nm - CrankYanker May 10, 16:09 4
        
        Blame it on all your rich clients trying to hide their money from the govt. - CovingtonCat May 10, 16:13 3
        
        hahaha, "We will clear your debt if you give us information about these millionaires". -- nm - CrankYanker May 10, 16:15 2
        
        Hey, California is home to Let's Make A Deal! -- nm - CovingtonCat May 10, 16:16 1
        
        Switch doors! (nm) - musubi May 10, 16:16
    - Two non-negotiable things you MUST do: 1) Contact a lawyer AND your accountant. 2) Contact the agency in CA responsible for collecting taxes. - Burton TWuGster May 10, 16:05 1
      - word -- nm - Beaker May 10, 16:08
- Look up the number he left you. I would imagine it would be some main number with an extension. Sounds fishy, especially the myspace stuff. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 10, 15:46
- I'm not your lawyer, but I'd advise you to stop talking to this guy. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 15:46 2
  - One phone call to verify the number and I didn't tell him anything he wanted to know. -- nm - CrankYanker May 10, 15:49 1
    - "Yes, I'm totally an auditor." -- nm - loosilu May 10, 15:52
- official tax issues are done by written letter, not by phone. -- nm - Max May 10, 15:45 1
  - i think he called them (get a lawyer!) -- nm - sherlock homie May 10, 15:46
- who is this guy exactly? -- nm - loosilu May 10, 15:44 24
  - could be a private collection agency who had the purported debt subbed to them -- nm - sherlock homie May 10, 15:47 4
    - in which case, he definitely needs to not talk to them (I think) -- nm - loosilu May 10, 15:48 3
      - my scam alarm klaxon is sc-reaming. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 15:49 2
        
        Mine is getting louder as I ST's comments. -- nm - CrankYanker May 10, 15:54 1
        
        "as I READ..." -- nm - CrankYanker May 10, 15:54
  - Authorized Representative is his title on State of CA letterhead. -- nm - CrankYanker May 10, 15:46 18
    - you need to look it up for safeties sake -- nm - Remlik May 10, 15:52
    - Look up the # of the CA Dept of Revenue and call that. - CovingtonCat May 10, 15:49 13
      - yeah, I didn't notice that title 'til just now.....I've never seen that on any documents in the past...it's usually Collections Dept. or - CrankYanker May 10, 15:51 12
        
        you still shouldn't ignore it. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 15:51 11
        
        no, that's why I called.....basically just told him to send me what they have plus a form to show financial hardship. -- nm - CrankYanker May 10, 15:52 10
        
        when did you file your 83 taxes? that's 27 years ago. definitely not in the 'past 20 years.' -- nm - Andie May 10, 15:54 7
        
        I don't know and I don't have copies anymore. -- nm - CrankYanker May 10, 15:55 6
        
        Do you have reason to believe you didn't file them by 1990? -- nm - mara May 10, 15:56 5
        
        No, I was late for some years, but not 7 years late. -- nm - CrankYanker May 10, 15:57 4
        
        then you do know. -- nm - TFox May 10, 15:58 3
        
        well, I know it wasn't 7 years late but I don't know exactly when... 1year late, 2 years late, 3 years late. -- nm - CrankYanker May 10, 16:00 2
        
        but according to subtraction/addition.... thats all in the 80s -- nm - TFox May 10, 16:00 1
        
        right, that's why I answered mara with "No". -- nm - CrankYanker May 10, 16:02
        
        You still need to call the Dept of Revenue to verify you actually have a debt. - CovingtonCat May 10, 15:54 1
        
        Thanks, will do some followup tomorrow. -- nm - CrankYanker May 10, 15:56
    - real letterhead? WHen I had a real tax issue with the State of NY, I was contacted by an "Auditor" -- nm - loosilu May 10, 15:47
    - is it from the State Franchise Tax Board (Authorized Representative could be anyone they farmed out the collection to) -- nm - sherlock homie May 10, 15:47 1
      - yes, and I'm thinking the same thing. -- nm - CrankYanker May 10, 15:48
Oh My Gravy (TAR spoils) - samwise May 10, 15:42 1
- I think the cowboys win... - Dr.Vermin May 10, 15:51
heh Germany looses to Finland 0-1 - Danedukenuuk May 10, 15:40 5
- What are you WTFing? - Reagen May 10, 15:41 4
  - I think it was because Germany shouldn't have lost -- nm - J May 10, 15:43 2
    - If Finland lost that would have been a real WTF. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 15:45
    - and as far as i can figure it out the danes are ready for the intermidiate round now -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 10, 15:44
  - Germany beat the US - Danedukenuuk May 10, 15:43
AGree or disagree: If you are 40 years old, you're in your 40s. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 15:36 53
- 30s -- (link) - Dr.Vermin May 10, 15:56
- What decade are we in? -- nm - Dano May 10, 15:56
- of course -- nm - Beaker May 10, 15:54
- Of course. -- nm - mara May 10, 15:43
- AGree -- nm - samwise May 10, 15:41
- agreed -- nm - prayformojo May 10, 15:40
- when you turn 40 you have already completed 40 years on earth. you are in your 40s. -- nm - Andie May 10, 15:39 1
  - that's what I'm sayin! -- nm - loosilu May 10, 15:39
- Agree. -- nm - Krusty May 10, 15:38
- last year of your third decade - sherlock homie May 10, 15:38 40
  - Fourth decade -- nm - Roger More May 10, 16:15
  - Yup. But you're still in your 40s. -- nm - mara May 10, 15:44
  - How can you be so obtuse? -- nm - Max May 10, 15:40 1
    - hahahahaha SHUT UP! -- nm - sherlock homie May 10, 15:52
  - that's two different things. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 15:40 2
    - and, not true. you are in your last year of a decade from 9th to 10th birthday. - Andie May 10, 15:44 1
      - exactly, it's not complicated. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 15:47
  - this would only be true if you started counting at 1 when you were born. birthdays don't work like calendar years. - Andie May 10, 15:40 28
    - see Remlik? -- nm - loosilu May 10, 15:40 27
      - century logic! We were not actually in the 21st century when it hit 2000! We were in it when it hit 2001. - Remlik May 10, 15:46 26
        
        Dude. The calendar started with Year 1. You started with Year 0. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 15:49
        
        but andie just proved that that doesn't apply to birthdays ... -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 15:49 24
        
        but it does apply! -- nm - Remlik May 10, 15:51 23
        
        how? a decade is 10 years. when you turn 10 you have completed the decade. you have lived a full 10 years. - Andie May 10, 15:53 22
        
        Remlik says it does apply there it does apply - Danedukenuuk May 10, 15:55
        
        apparently he's living in the decade of denial. :) Quick, someone buy him a tiny sports car! -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 15:54 20
        
        oh, if that's all it is, i support his delusions. -- nm - Andie May 10, 15:55 19
        
        I'd be happy with a case of Candian Ketchup! - Remlik May 10, 15:57 18
        
        Just lobby Heinz to follow Hunt's lead. Problem solved. -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 15:58 1
        
        my nephew (tax guy for the US Gov) called Heinz Corp and they won't do it. -- nm - Remlik May 10, 16:01
        
        i was JUST thinking of that at the grocery store TODAY. - Andie May 10, 15:58 15
        
        it should say the weight on the bottle. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 16:08 10
        
        it has the volume on the bottle. -- nm - Andie May 10, 16:09 9
        
        I just looked at my ketchup, it says "net weight" -- nm - loosilu May 10, 16:12 8
        
        do you want to me to send you a picture of my ketchup? it says 750 ml. that's volume. -- nm - Andie May 10, 16:14 7
        
        You don't know the density of your ketchup? Are you *sure* you're canadian? *suspicious look* - musubi May 10, 16:15 2
        
        NO! -- nm - Andie May 10, 16:16 1
        
        *sheepish* I was just asking? - musubi May 10, 16:18
        
        hee! I believe you. I guess canada has different ketchup rules. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 16:15 3
        
        It's probably not a vegetable in Canada, either. -- nm - CovingtonCat May 10, 16:17
        
        liquids are generally measured in litres here. Don't you measure stuff in fluid ounces in the US? -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 16:16 1
        
        food is measured in weight. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 16:17
        
        I will be happy to pay in advance. -- nm - Remlik May 10, 16:01 3
        
        i just have no idea what it will cost. Canada Post does it by weight and package size. and it might be *outrageous.* -- nm - Andie May 10, 16:07 2
        
        Purolator might be less outrageous -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 16:14 1
        
        it might, actually. -- nm - Andie May 10, 16:17
  - See? -- nm - Will Hunting May 10, 15:38 3
    - pssst he is disagreeing with you. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 15:39 2
      - Exactly the reason of my victory see? -- nm - Will Hunting May 10, 15:39 1
        
        oooooh. *nods* -- nm - loosilu May 10, 15:39
- barely -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 10, 15:37
- of course. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 15:37
- Agreed. There's no argument. -- nm - Will Hunting May 10, 15:37
*seconds Musubi's damn, she's gorgeous from B2* -- nm - Will Hunting May 10, 15:33
no, it's *kind of* jeff's job. no shots. and no, jack, he is not - workmanda May 10, 15:33 1
