Thanks for confirming my impressions; I just wanted a little hand-holding before proceeding. It's a new scenario for me even though I've been using TT for more than a decade. So frustrating to know that in my case, I have no income from any source that is not reported to them by the provider of the income and yet I have to prepare and file a return. Many European countries have their tax office send an itemized draft of what they believe their citizen owes and the citizen either verifies that total or edits its prior to returning it. Apparently those countries don't have a huge tax preparation industry (software, in-person tax prep companies, and CPAs) and lobbyists bribing their federal legislatures to maintain and retain our crazy system. Of course, I suspect their tax codes aren't filled with thousands of pages of exceptions and loopholes for their less intimidating, more simplified system of reporting and paying income taxes. Thanks again for your reply. Strange I didn't get an alerting e-mail to your post. I had to log-in and search to find it.
