Excellent! Thank you for all of your hard work!!
By the way... I see that you've discovered that when you add headings with the equal signs that it automatically adds the little table of contents box. If you have less than 4 headings, it won't put that on the page. If you want to force it to have one anyway, or if you want to tell it exactly where to put it, just type __TOC__ (two underscores on each side) and it'll put the table of contents right there.

Good response
Solomon: Your surgical exposition of the tax law is a joy to behold, your advice is appreciated, and right on. But, I must say that your response to L-7, in your display of unerring precision, and pregnancy of meaning, is unmatched in my experience with this site. Way to go!

Equitable or Beneficial Ownership
Nice article Solomon. It amazes me how much I "thought" I knew last season about mortgage interest and ended up learning about. Skhyatt 23:03, 16 October 2007 (CDT)
Section 121 - Building a house
Hi Solomon,
Thank you for your input in regard to my Section 121 question. Now, I can understand Reg. 1.163-10T(p)(5) may qualify taxpayer's home as his/her qualified residence during those 24 months construction period. But how can I utilize this rule to substantiate the 2 years "use" test under Section 121? Is there any court case(s) that I might refer to? Your help is highly appreciared. Thank you again.

love your name and the bible verse...so so true!
Thank you for your advice
Call for your funny tax stories!
Hi Solomon,
My name is Vanessa Piccinini and I work at Intuit's Public Relations agency. We came across your below funny story and would like to share it with an accounting Web site interested in running stories like yours during the busy tax season to give readers a good laugh.
In order to participate, just reply to this message giving your permission. We will not share your story unless you respond giving us permission to do so. Additionally, we will give your avatar credit for it, since we do not have your real name and even if we did, we would not probably not include it to ensure client confidentiality (though the chances of your client reading the accounting publication in question may be very slim.)
This is the story we're interested in sharing: Single mother with one child but did not have prior year return or the child's social security card with her. She assured me the child's number she gave me was correct. Return was rejected because of incorrect social of the child. After calling her to advise her of this problem, she said "just a minute while I look." Seconds later she got back on the phone and gave me the correct number with the following comment: "It was only off by one number so why does that matter?"
Thank you in advance for your attention!

first time home buyer credit with brothers
In the case I presented, does the fact that B is only buying one-half and A is retaining 50 % ownership preclude B from taking the credit.
