Heck, lots of things are "taxable", if one includes all the various kinds of tax. Go to McDonalds, order a Big Mac, and in most states, it is taxable under the sales tax. Sure is here in Texas.

I don't know, but this all started as a joke anyway.

Quote:Does anybody know if the Thomas' file together or use "Married filing Separately"? If the latter, CT may not know the details or even the existence of some of his wife's income. I have a friend who keeps her income/taxes separate from her husband. She has only a general idea of his income or sources.

In all honesty, if he were to make that excuse I'd say that's pretty lame. He can reasonably ask her for the information because he needs it.
