Yeah - I did a little bit of contract work to stay afloat, too... and I think that's what might be bighting me in the ars. I just wish I had done a better job of saving receipts and records of things that I could have deducted. Hopefully I can get something down - there's no way I can afford an extra $1000 right now. There should be special considerations for all of us in the tech industry. Something like a "I have a tech degree and am therefore getting screwed by the economy" clause. hhhhh
