Duh, you don't do it on the form. That would be a little obvious.
One day I will write tax prep software that works like people actually do. Start with how much refund you need/payment you can afford, then guide the user in making up deductions to get there.
Just get yourself a nice V8 convertible, supe it up like you're 16 again (only this time, not an idiot). The market is full of really nice, powerful cars for cheap right now. Remember being a kid and wishing you had the money to buy a hemi-cuda when they were cheap? That time is here again.
A good accountant will tell you about things (s)he doesn't/can't know about. The cash, the slushfund, the kickback account, the fake vendors etc etc. Think of dealing with them as practice for dealing with auditors.
Nothing to do with waiting for a walk signal to turn green when you can see for half km both ways on a 35 km/h road. After a night drinking. In Berlin. A city that's not internationally known for rules followers.
And the looks they gave us American cousins just waltzing across. Face it, you're just like the Swiss with the 'stink eye'...
That wasn't meant as a compliment. I realize there is some confusion. BTW we take 'cowboy' as a complement, same a Ruskys take 'cossack'. Know it's meant as an insult, we just choose otherwise.
That's the payment for degraded performance. Add in the cost of the engine 'tune'. Some vehicles will need urea tanks. Last I heard, they hadn't figured out where they could fit them.
Owners alternatively can have the cars 'bought back'. The really ugly ones for VW are the most recent that get pushed back by customers. VW will have to sell them running in continuous test mode, they will run like ass and have further service issues as test mode was never meant to be 100% of the time. Smart money would be a firmware 'downgrade' after purchase. If VW is smart, they will just suck it up and load them on boats for S Africa or India. Fix the firmware to 'local standards' later (if they can make them run that dirty).
tekrat is right. The used market for these is about to take a beating.
Ether the owner takes the fix and the money, or the owner takes the money and gives back the car.
In the first case the car runs like shit and the owner sells it six months later, in the second the dealership applies the fix and wholesales it out.
The TDIs will go to south America and Africa, have the emissions fixes reversed and run for decades. Alternatively they will be fixed by industrious people locally.
Anybody got a link to original ECU firmware? The 'good one'? Hacked up with a high, but still reasonable, version number?
I'm still not buying a VW (at any price*) but a torrent would be helpful to the/. community.
* The first step to replace the master cylinder in a new bug? 'Remove front bumper...' No bullshit. Run Away.
Truth is, I've been riding my old bike for so long, it has become a collectable. Wish I had saved the parts that wore out.
I'd guess I was forth hand, Original purchase, trade-in bought by bike shop mechanic, sold to 350+lb friend of mine, not ridden for years, traded to me for 1/4 lb of mota (about $200, this was about 20 years ago, back when mota was a thing in CA).
Apparently the seat post is worth as much as the rest of the bike. Hipsters want original thuds.
They can't accept it's not the equipment's fault. So they sell the bike for five cents on the dollar on craigslist and buy another, even more expensive one.
They never finish races, much less win. An hour riding a cheap bike burns as many calories as an hour on any bike.
Look around you. Apartment complexes full of brand new cars. 40 year olds with negative net worths and $100,000+/year incomes. Programmed consumers are the dumbest people _ever_ to have lived.
People that spend $10k on watches are just morons. The truly rich spend much more, 10k watch is likely owned by an idiot barely making six figures.
Trading their freedom for overpriced trinkets. Morons.
The difference is that Texas actually is part of America, same as Alaska.
Stop trying to be smart. You're just embarrassing yourself.
The reason that Russia has to accept NATO on its borders is that it LOST THE COLD WAR. Get over it already and accept your role as 3rd world resource extraction center. Like most of Africa.

Looney left.
If you're under 30 and not a liberal, you have no heart.
If you're over 30 and not a conservative, you have no brain.
Find a god damn green buddy. Hold your nose, make a deal, then both vote your conscious.
Germany has a good savings rate. But they aren't idiots, they don't leave it in a bank.
Even worse?
Everybody is worse at integrating immigrants than the US. Everyone.
The numbers causing shit storms in Europe are America's routine.
Eurotrash really ought to visit before running their whine holes. Not just NYC and LA eather.
Don't, it's still a VW.

You couldn't get an F1 driver to spit on your car for $100k.
That's why you divide all expenses by your marginal tax rate (for reporting). Duh.

Your own numbers: 17.42 + 12 (minus some) is much greater than 25%
People that run their entire perception through marxist dogma are funny.
When was marx right the first time?
The fact you don't like that, doesn't change it.

You are making an impression anyhow, it's not a good one.
Interesting imagination you have there.
Now get back to work, you have payments to make. Soon you'll owe less than the things are worth. Then you can buy new things again.
You give them too much credit.
They can't accept it's not the equipment's fault. So they sell the bike for five cents on the dollar on craigslist and buy another, even more expensive one.

You think I envy someone that stupid?
I bet you think I envy people who spend $10k+ on watches too?
It's not how much you earn, it's how much you keep.
The same people who pay $10,000 for an unpowered bike.
It's all about impressing their peers. They make an impression on the rest of us too, but that one is not so good.
Jesus titty fucking christ.
You can't actually be that stupid.
