I have a son but he doesn't earn enough from his soccer reffing to quality but I'm going to run his taxes through TurboTax anyway. It may occur that he doesn't have to file, or if he does and claims the standard deduction, he may actually get a refund. It doesn't cost anything to use TurboTax until you actually file. You could also work through the 1040 and then put down his income, or if he's classed as a contractor, he should get a 1099 I think it is. Anyway. it's worth trying. -- End Of The Line BBS - Plano, TX telnet endofthelinebbs.com 23 --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux * Origin: End Of The Line BBS - endofthelinebbs.com (21:2/101) .
