Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Good for you. Do you feel better now that you have proven your superiority? If so, I invite you to become an active participant in the forum, particularly during tax season. It gets so busy in here between Feb-Apr every year, then regardless of the number of participants, it's just not possible the answer all the questions faster than they're posted. So the more participating here, the better.
But keep in mind, that while I'm sure there are a few, there's just not that many who say "I'm going to start my own business hosting foreign exchange students." For those that only do it a year, it's usually a one time thing, and their intent is not to make money, but to expand their horizons by bringing culture into their home, when they can't afford to go to where the culture is. For those that do it as a one time thing or even for the five calendar years a student may be here to get their college education, that doesn't necessarily qualify it as a business; especially if only one student is involved. If there's an audit, one may have a hard time proving their case.
But I get your point. Do you get mine?
