Backdoor B's are out.
WS question for end of month: my NOTIONAL BACKDOOR sched has a trip in early May. If I put in a WS for a carryout trip in Apr right now, it WILL conflict with the May trip--which is good; I can select "yes even if it conflicts with next month", and I should get the Apr trip and it should auto DROP the May trip right?
Question-- since scheds haven't been loaded into DBMS as "firm", is there a risk they will re-run May after I do this and I'll just get assigned a different trip? Or are these backdoor scheds essentially done, and this move will result in me dumping first trip in May?
Thx

Looking for advice.
I know someone with a gambling problem. Year after year they continue betting and every year they lose enormous amounts of money.
We've tried talking to them but they just keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results.
They seem unable to control the problem themselves. Its starting to effect the family and everyone else around them. I think we might have to stage an intervention to get them to stop.
I'm at my wits end. I don't know how to help them.
If it was poker or blackjack or horse racing we might be able to get them some counseling. But what do you do about someone addicted to hedging in the oil futures market?

I think it's high time we snuck up on them and have an intervention!

That does not seem right. 2013 you probably had a bunch more thing to write off. I would have a 2nd party double check your 2013 to your 2014 taxes. With 14.22% more income I would have expected your tax bill to be up 4-7%

I would vote for any Politician who is pushing for a flat tax, same rate, top to bottom, but Steve Forbes tried that many years ago and got nowhere with it.

). Plus, I haven't itemized in 12 years. Can't. And Timbo is right too.. The AMT got me this year. I guess I am now officially rich (according to the IRS anyway. I have been hyperventilating all day after writing the check.Bastages
