Newbery Award winning quartet of novels based on the true story of a rescued abused dog. Shiloh (Naylor novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
My son bought this movie yesterday at our used bookstore.
Not angry....more like disgusted.
Today is Martin Luther King Day. While it is not a holiday here, we do know who he was, and we do admire him for what he did.
Two famous people disgusted me. One posted a meme which is an MLK quote....but it came off that she was comparing herself to him. (I refuse to give her any free advertising by naming her.) she topped the meme with the message "Happy MLKDay". What? Does that come on cards down there? please say no! Please say no!
The second was Ellen. She also said "Happy MLKDay." (Is it just me? That seems so disrespectful. Does she know who he is?) then, she made it worse by saying "I had a dream.....but now I have a puppy and he woke me up."
Now I know why I don't watch her show. It just do not get her humour.
Find a good tax consultant. Positive vibes/ healing ones too.Just roaring this morning. I got my 1099 for royalties for the year, and it's outrageous--many, many times higher than I've actually received. I think it probably reflects what I SHOULD have received, but that doesn't help me. I'm so angry I can't even think (but I wasn't thinking well anyway because of this stupid flu). If this comes down to some Amazon shenanigans, I'm going to freak out entirely.
So there you have it, two states I rarely, rarely reach: sick and furious.
I've contacted the publisher, but this might go to a lawyer. I've been questioning their accounting all year, based upon sales vs. royalty, and got the answer that I was still earning out an advance. By mid year, I was getting frustrated with that answer, to say the least, as sales have been brisk.Find a good tax consultant. Positive vibes/ healing ones too.

Ah crap. I'll wait to see what response I get. I REALLY can't afford to call the IP lawyer--they're mad expensive around here since there are only 3 or 4 in the whole state--but I will if I have to.
I'm going back to bed.

Tax reporting is calculated based on the gross amount of your royalty payment, which includes the amount of the royalty payment received in U.S. dollars as well as any applicable fees, such as fees related to receiving payment in a currency other than the currency of the marketplace on which the sales occurred. But the publisher never seems to indicate what those fees amount to. Hopefully you have copies of the payments and possibly deposit slips to indicate the difference in payments, with the difference therefore amounting to the fees. You can claim those fees as deductible expenses on your income tax. But don’t just take my word for it, talk to a tax professional with knowledge of royalties.I've contacted the publisher, but this might go to a lawyer.

LOL. Many, many years ago I thought I’d make a little extra money by doing taxes. I actually went through the H&R Block tax training classes and was certified by them. My first client was a young independent artist who kept absolutely no records, made no estimated tax payments, and showed up with about 4 shoe boxes filled with receipts and hand written notes. It took me forever to do his taxes. He was shocked at his taxes, which included penalties for not paying taxes on a quarterly basis, and my bill for doing them. He refused to pay me for my work. I said ‘screw this,’ and it was the first and last time I did anyone’s taxes other than family.Can you do my taxes this year, Mr. Block?
