So it's taxable each year, and I've been missing it.

So, apparently, has the IRS.

I assume Greta's OID is small potatoes so the IRS hasn't been too interested in those returns.  But that leads to a thought I have from time to time.  Wouldn't this place be a nice source of leads for eager IRS agents to make their annual quotas?  Over the years there have been folks that have liked to share a bit too much as far as how badly they were missing the boat and a lot of those folks liked to use their real names here so they wouldn't be hard to track down.  Just a thought for tonight.  In case the IRS is looking for me, I won't hide behind Wile E.  If they want to find me all they have to do is look me up.  My name is R Cooley.

I just looked back at the years I thought I missed, but the interest income WAS reported. I think the layout of the 1099 is different this year that it discombobulated me. Whew.

Oh no!  I will owe a boatload of tax on the bootlegged Fireball!

My name is R. Cooley, too!

Sounds a little like an episode of Newhart.  My name is Darryl and this is my brother R Cooley and my other brother R Cooley.😁

At what point do the incessant Fireball references stop being amusing and start being annoying?

Maybe it's just me . . .

"Maybe it's just me . . ."

Just to clarify, are you saying that you are annoying instead of Fireball? 😜

"Maybe it's just me . . ."

Looks like you answered your own question.

Or, to quote Sgt. Hulka: "Lighten up, Francis".
