6 - INCOME
Alrighty then, now we get to the income section of our Lawful Money tax return. In TaxACT, we enter income info in the Federal Q&A tab. This is appropriate considering this filing is about private, privileged, or Federal [Reserve] income - a subset of all income. TaxACT uses a Question&Answer approach. I use the Quick Entry option to enter info from the paper Form W-2, inputting Box 1 amount into Box 1 of the program and so forth. Continue answering & entering all income* reported to you on "information reports" like W2, 1099-INT, 1099-R, etc.
Finally we get to Other Income - Miscellaneous and here you will enter your total redeemed lawful money for the year, as a negative amount. This is a simple total of LM amounts/checks either cashed or deposited. In the description I put: Demand for Lawful Money 12 USC 411. As you enter info TaxACT shows your expected refund in the upper right. Here's a screenshot: http://www.ctcwarrior.com/taxACT_income.JPG
When totaling your LM here for inclusion as Line 21 Other Income, it's important not to include any redeemed Lawful Money that was not also income on the lines above.
*NOTE: In years past I have not included as income amounts reported on Form 1099-MISC (because it was all redeemed lawful money) and had no problems afterward. This may also work for you.
