    House voted to end shutdown, needs the senate to OK and the president to sign.

    i would guess it is like any bill, bounce back and forth until Senate AND House passes it. then 45 gets it and approve it or not

    FYI, if this discussion strays into politics more than this I'm going to be cranky and edit a bunch of posts.

    which is he sworn he won't do. Supposidly the house and senate can override a presidential veto but the senate probably won't. So yay!

    Government employee here, but only at the state level. Whenever the government shuts down, we get an email clarifying that we are still required to work regardless of whether we get paid. Thankfully, I only have to worry about not getting paid if the state shuts down. My position is unionized, though, so I know I'll probably end up in a good hands with a paycheck at the end of everything.

    I dont think its a thing since self employment means you cant file the 1040EZ. I mean, you could do it all online, get the figures from there and then entire it manually on the taxes and file by mail like a neanderthal.

    Well, I thought most of it was rather informative. But do what you must.

    Also extra Reese's if you don't touch my posts. :D

    this.

    when racenotes went off platform, they had to collect all of that so they could send out 1099s. they were very transparent and explicit about the tax process.

    also obligatory rip racenotes :'(
