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
Short answer is, No. It will either not let you white slip it until the May scheds are unlocked, and/or it will let you but drop the May trip, after the May scheds are complete, but it won't re-run anything based on your white slip today.

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!

You don't want to rush into these things.

You rush, you will make mistakes!

You are doing something wrong. My W2 was up over 40% and my federal tax only went up 15%

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%

Welcome to the AMT baby!

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.

It was 14% W2 income increase. My investment income rose 73%. (Great year. ). 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.
