I would say, you can really drive the IRS nuts this year, by demanding $1.20 back from your US income tax as Polish citizen because it was way below the tax exempt amount.

Report on Polish tax form (witholding tax = podatek u źródła) http://www.pit.pl/dochody-zagraniczne/

Without this form Poland wants you to pay 18% tax on your US-source income. With this you just have to pay difference in case the tax due in Poland would be larger than the tax paid in US.

I find your lack of tax withholding disturbing:

Now my eternally drilling and hammering neighbor can has no other option but listen while my guitar gently weeps.

I got that one as soon as it was released. Bloody brilliant!!! Best buy so far.

I've got the StageSource L2t to go with it. No more combos!!! Next will be a L2m for a stereo pair. L6 LINK network ftw!!! :RnR1:

Is it really that good with the L6 link? I did not yet find good comparisons to compare. But the sound is really good with the POD, I really enjoy it.

Welcome to the madness that is the Infernal Revenue Service. :dry:

I'm convinced that CPAs and tax preparers are practicioners of the dark arts.

My sister is an accountant. If the ATO (Australian Tax Office) doesn't give her the answer she wants, she just hangs up and tries again.

I think that works because the ATO staff can make a ruling. My understanding is that the IRS doesn't have the authority to make a ruling.

That said, I have had software development called a dark art before...

That feeling when the family member that infects the family computer with the first virus in years is not your sometimes-reckless brother, nor your technophobic mother, but your father, who programs for a living and knows better. :-/

Oddly enough, it's the carpenter with 30 years of experience who is more likely to ignore all safety rules and get his head's convexity altered with a 2x4.

The IRS merely implements the Byzantine tax laws put forth by our congress. Frankly I think the IRS does an amazing job considering the mess they have to deal with. They have actually caught errors in my tax filings that lead to my getting significant refunds (I failed to take a deduction that I was not aware of).

I'd like to see the tax laws simplified and the IRS shrink as a government entity, but the blame for that doesn't sit with the IRS.

Congratulations to the German handball national handball team for winning the European Championship in Poland.

Highly surprising here, many players made a debut in the national team for this tournament (16), so it was very hard to predict how much is really possible. And especially an epic performance of the goal keeper Alex Wolff.

I have a Vetta II too (the big expensive one), but I prefer my POD by quite a margin. Maybe it's because the Variax doesn't work so well with the Vetta as it does with the POD.
It's probably because I used to play so much live that I value flexibility almost as highly as sound quality and reliability. I wouldn't dream of using my Gibson SG/Marshall tube amp for a gig now.
