He's been in the hospital for a WNIP ^ttfnn his innards rearranged. So what was it like? "Boys, 1 got just one thing to say: Don't do it!" But Steve, the alternative was not good. "Oh, I know, but it's just so good to get out of there, you know? They get a guy tied down with tubes and wires and piggu.' strings and hobbles ... and then they got this tv set in there up on the wall, and they don't give you a remote control for it and (he sound is turned off. So there you are, trying to figure out what's going on. It's the only time : been able to figure out whai's happening on the Spanish language channel." Mavis came by and filled Steve's cup. "Whatcha havin' Hon?" "Mavis, Darling, I'd like three orders of sourdough toast, and I'd like you to make them, because you know just how long to leave each succulent slice in the toaster." "You got it, Babe." "Toast?" Doc said. "You get out of the hospital and you just want toast?" Doc, we thought, don't ask a question if you aren't prepared for .the answer. "I'm glad you asked, Doc," said Steve, puffing himself up to large owl-like proportions. "You know why people get well and leave the hospital? The toast. That's right.

In addition, taxpayers wh••) itemize deductions ciForm 1040 Schedule A will neet! to wait until mid-to late Febru&rv to file as well. The starf nf Ihe 2011 f i i - i the majority of taxpay «rr However, changes in the !-• mean that the IRS .will neea io reprogram its processing systems for three provisions that were extended in the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010 that becarne law on Dec. 17. People claiming any of these three items - involving the state and local sales tax deduction, higher education tuition and fees deduction and educator expenses deduction as well as those taxpayers who itemize deductions on Form 1040 Schedule A - will need to wait to file their tax returns until tax processing systems are ready, which the IRS estimates will be in mid- to late February. "The majority of taxpayers will be able to fill out their tax returns and file them as they normally do," said IRS Cornmiscioner Doug Shulman. "We will do everything we can to minimize the impact of recent tax law changes on other taxpayers. The IRS is working hard to get our systems reprogrammed and ensure taxpayers have a smooth tax season." The IRS will announce a specific date in the near future when it can start processing'tax returns impacted by the late tax law changes. In the interim, people in the affected categories can start working on their tax returns, but they should not submit their returns until IRS systems are ready to process the new tax law changes. The IRS urged taxpayers to use e-file instead of paper tax forms to minimize confusion over the recent tax changes and ensure accurate tax returns. Taxpayers will need to wait to file if they are within any of the following three categories: • Taxpayers claiming itemized deductions on Schedule A. Itemized deductions include mortgage interest, charitable deductions, medical and dental expenses as well as state and local taxes. In addition, itemized deductions include the state and local general sales tax deduction extended in the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 enacted Dec. 17, which primarily benefits people living in areas without state and local income taxes and is claimed on Schedule A, Line 5. Because of late Congressional action to enact tax law changes, anyone who itemizes and files a Schedule A '... .-ujd to .•/,.,; lo file until midfo late February. • T- vppvers c'aiming the Higher i£ducuu.j;-i Tuition and Fees Oeducttin This deduction for , arep's '-.'i cf.'ident? -covering up to $4,00u of tuition and fees ' -condary institution - is claimed on Form 8917. •However, the IRS emphasized mat tht-re will be no delays for •Trillions of parents and students vvho claim other education credits, inducing the American Opportunity Tax Credit and Jfelime Learning Credit.
