I just got an email from Scottrade - they've been hacked.   A couple of years ago, I started to move a very small online account to them, didn't do it - and bless their hearts, they DIDN'T DELETE ANYTHING!!!

Seriously, I'm beginning to see-the-light of just closing every account everywhere, and taking the last $1800. I own in my Roth IRA and buying a handful of silver bars.   ... if it's still there.

I saw that on Krebs.  If we tracked this stuff down forensically, I am 100% certain they are allowing these break ins.

We got our Federal Tax return.

Never again will I order seed and fertilizer for the farm, expecting a tax return to pay the bill.
What a miserable year, financially speaking.

You probably already figured this out, but if you're getting a return, then you need a better accountant.

We've already tried to "FIX" that.  10 exemptions and we still get a return.  The company won't let me claim 20.
When Bush implemented the 1K child tax credit, with 8 kids, we had a windfall of a return.

My luck, the federal check will -bounce-
