Gah

So, I'm a resident alien. Mr Bob is a non resident alien. We can not file jointly, except I think we have to. We might owe taxes to Canada on Mr Bob's scholarship. We might get a refund on my taxes to the US. I think we need to file 4 seperate returns to two different countries that may or may not want taxes on all income from both countries.

Which brings up the important question, if I am an alien, why don't I have tentacles?

You're just hiding your tentacles, but we know you have them.

The tentacles brought in foreign visitors!

REally I mean you do remember the tentacle porn?

Oh and you should get going with those taxes. You should pay them in clams and baked beans.

The labcoat is useful for that.

Exactly what I was thinking, Zombs!

Why am I now picturing the 3 haired stick Bob with tentacles poking out?

On tax day I am always so happy that DH is a CPA. He just does stuff.

Tentacles are very useful in bench work. You can pour into three different flasks from three different beakers while still holding the phone and keeping one tentacled finger on your spot in the protocol. This is why US labs like to hire alien workers. And Canadians are the best alien workers because they can sorta speak English - if you ignore the too precise enunciation, random "ehs" and weird curling references.

I wrote something so incredibly long and insightful and Blogger ate it. I hate that! It's because you're an alien, right? You have taken my comment up to your mothership where you will experiment on it, use anal probes and then leave me in the woods somewhere all dazed and confused.

Oh look - it wasn't there and then when I posted the second one, it reappeared!

Alien blogs are spooky!

Well, once we bomb Iran can I take your place in Canada and be an alien there who can work and make money and all?

I think you should answer all questions on the tax form with a simple yet coy answer of: "Wouldn't you like to know!"

Breezy said the IRS loves this! It really adds some levity to their day.

Will the deport you?

I guess it depends whether I take Monsty's advice or not.

Real answer, No, Mr Bob and I are both in the country legally. We are just on different visa's, hence our different alien status.

Doesn't Mr. Bob live with you?

*head tilt*

Those 3 hairs on your head are really tentacles aren't they?

Nookie <--- wonders where her own tentacles are hidden.

Mr Bob lives with me. If we wished, we could both file as resident aliens as we are married and I am a resident. His Visa puts him under a tax treaty that lets him file in Canada, not the US. I'm not sure if he could just file in the US, as his money comes from Canada.

My head hurts. Maybe it's the tentacles growing in.

I've known Bob and MrBob far too long. They both have tentacles and have been known to use them for cheating at poker.

As a collector of Canadian taxes, I'm coming to get your tentacles. They have a high resale value.
