Someone who is not at all my younger 25-year old brother manages to almost make my head explode using only good old-fashioned ignorance and Yahoo Messenger:
NotMyBrother: why would someone I am doing an install for want to write me a BOA check from their company for a vehicle which is through their company and he won't make it for cash?
NotMyBrother: its a 2006 lincoln navigator I am doing a full-blown install on on saturday morning.
NotMyBrother: for a guy that owns an avaition insurance company
NotMyBrother: they insure leer jets etc.
adamheathavitable: because he wants his company to pay for it
NotMyBrother: so if its cash they wont?
NotMyBrother: the check made out to cash
adamheathavitable: if it's made out to a company, it's easier for tax purposes
adamheathavitable: for cash, it's not
NotMyBrother: TAX?
NotMyBrother: like 1099?
NotMyBrother: me
adamheathavitable: yes, NotMyBrother. that's what happens when a business pays for a service from another business
NotMyBrother: So he will cause me to get audited with a $500 install?
adamheathavitable: yes, exactly
adamheathavitable: the irs is going to bang down your door
adamheathavitable: because this guy is making sure he does his taxes legally
adamheathavitable: jesus christ
NotMyBrother: Frank has been writing me checks for the past 4 years…and never claims me.
NotMyBrother: How does that work?
adamheathavitable: i'm sure he does
adamheathavitable: when he does his business taxes, every amount has to be accounted for
adamheathavitable: all of those checks are considered as being paid for services rendered by another company
adamheathavitable: that's how it works
NotMyBrother: He pays his detail for the past 10 years with checks and its all under the table. His detail guy doesnt get taxed lol.
NotMyBrother: o ok, but not to the individual as a tax
adamheathavitable: if he writes a check, it's not under the table
adamheathavitable: you don't even understand how it works, so don't get yourself worked up over stupid shit
NotMyBrother: if he's writing check then that will screw me in other words and frank has been screwing me for 5 years then….he told me that its under the table
adamheathavitable: you're both idiots
NotMyBrother: you are making it seem like he is claiming me 1099
adamheathavitable: THERE'S NO SUCH THING
adamheathavitable: FOR FUCK'S SAKE
adamheathavitable: ANYTIME ANYONE GETS PAID BY CHECK AND IT'S A BUSINESS, THERE IS A RECORD OF IT.
adamheathavitable: your company IS an independent contractor of WHOEVER you do work for
adamheathavitable: and if they want to file a 1099 for their own business taxes to show what the money was spent on, that's their right
NotMyBrother: o
adamheathavitable: ok, i need to go before i reach through the computer and slap you in the head.
NotMyBrother: crap…I will have to turn down a $500 + install for this saturday
NotMyBrother: That sucks.
adamheathavitable: why do you have to turn it down?
adamheathavitable: yes, turn it down
adamheathavitable: turn down money
adamheathavitable: i don't give a shit
adamheathavitable: don't ask me another tax or business question ever again
