1099 Nightmare

Did you think, just for a moment, that one of your ideas had paid off big and that a big check was on its way?

Tell them there's another way to fix the problem....

I have to admit I did some daydreaming about what I would do with extra $$

I used to keep the "not valid" checks from Publishers Clearinghouse. Fun to put on the wall.

This year I opened the 1099 and it shows $500K. NIGHTMARES about the $150K in taxes the IRS thinks I owe.

Go into work and I have an email says ops we misplace a decimal point. Correction will be arriving shortly.

I think I am going to frame the faulty 1099. Coworker is going to leave his in his important papers for his kids to find after he is dead.

What would really be bad is to invent something and instead of patenting it sell it to a large corporation for a big pile of cash contingent on the condition that you must keep your part in the invention confidential. There ain't no way I could see thousands of my widgets out there and keep my mouth shut.
