I am so sorry, I just now found these replies to my questions from Friday! I am glad to know that the 1099-Q does NOT have to be entered at all, because I was lost about that situation! There ARE computer expenses, as well as school supplies (binders at $12 each, geez), other miscellaneous supplies, bookbag, etc. {I thought I read somewhere that internet expense could even be included???} Not sure until I add it all up if those purchases will add up to the $542 in federal tax owed, but every dollar counts! Your help is GREATLY appreciated, as I was almost to the point of tears trying to figure all this stuff out! Now, hopefully I won't run into any problems when I go and actually enter these figures on the return. Hal_Al, I have read so, so many of your replies to confused filers, and I know you 'know your stuff', so I will do exactly as you have instructed!!! Thanks again-----the Mom
