If you had figured correctly, you would not GET a big return

In Reply to: Yet the AMT is completely unrelated to all the low income - Or so they say....
It is your money to start with. It is up to you to figure out what you should pay. If you are getting a huge amount back, then it is your fault. The IRS does not just OWE you money. You have it figured all wrong. If people lose their homes or cannot pay their bills due to their not getting refund, IT IS THEIR OWN FAULT- they paid in too much, not the other way.

I get it. But in return for supporting the small business the poor folk get nothing in return.
I understand why you don't shop at Walmart. You support those who support you but it doesn't work that way for me. I can go to an independent shop and by a dishwasher, pay lots more for it and get nothing in return to supplement my support of their small business. Same for all the poor folk who are shopping in Walmart trying to stretch a paycheck. I am glad Walmart exists for those folks.
If you submit your reports on time and correctly, you get paid correctly. Pay has been on sm
time for 2 years now. 1st and 15th for employees, 2nd and 16th for ICs. If it falls on a weekend or holiday, it posts the next business day.
By the way, there is no Sophie on radiology at Keystrokes. Must be a troll.
Return it
Return the thing before your thumbs fall off.
You could try prying off the space bar and cleaning underneath it - maybe something is stuck under there. I have found four-course meals under mine. Otherwise, an exchange or return is probably your best bet.
See Main Board for a discussion on keyboards if you are interested.
I would definitely return it and have them

as an IC how do you get ANY RETURN?
ive been an IC for 10 years and only ONE TIME got a return, which was the bush tax cut of $600.00
I never used to pay quarterleys and would get hit with a huge amount in April... and then two years ago owed like 10K in back taxes, (apparently hadn't paid enough) putting me into credit card debt, which i never had before, so disappointing.
I'd be careful if i were you!
Now I take 30% of EVERY paycheck and pay quarterleys, just not online. i need to figure that one out
LOA with return to job
Your job should be safe. You would be eligible for FMLA at the very least, I think. Nothing works better for what you are describing than time off. I had to take 4 weeks off earlier this year due to an injury, and my mind needed the rest. It is so much better now that I'm back. A mental break never hurt anyone.
Would you return to MT if.....
Here is the gist of my question. I stopped working as a MT to homeschool my children and be a stay-at-home mom. Hubby said I had enough to do just by schooling them so I quit my career. My youngest will be done in three years. I will be around 50 years old at that time....Would you go back to school or would you come back to MT? Is it worth it? I know it has started paying less, but honestly, it was paying less back then...can we say MQ and manipulated line counts here.....
I am kicking around the idea of going after a degree in something ? Honestly, I never knew who or what I wanted to be in this life. I just kind of fell into transcription. But I am also looking at I know transcription very well....it really doesn't sound like it has changed a whole lot since the time I left, and do I really want to be going to 'school' at 50 years of age??? 
I would appreciate your advice, insight, wisdom of life learning experiences, etc.
Thank you.
on return to MT
If you don't need to work, stay home. Travel. Do your family tree. I would give anything right now if I could stay home and not work. I would love to be able to just putter around my house, fixing things and repairing things, working in the yard. I hate being an MT and only do it to pay my mortgage and provide food. I hate transcribing so many doctors who don't really even know what they are talking about half the time and all the unnecessary tests they run when if they would use clinical judgement, they would not waste so much money and running up patient's bills. But of course that is the objective, running all the tests and as many tests as possible to keep the hospital in business. But if you should not have insurance, no matter how long you have been going to a doctor, they drop you like a hot potato. The whole health care business makes me sick.
To me, it looks as if you did it correctly.
I wouldn't use a semicolon in that sentence.
You should do them correctly.
Escription can deal with a cap in the middle of a work. I type my drugs correctly but on most of the accounts I've been on (6), I've had to cap the allergies myself. The more consistent everyone is, the better the system will do.
Carriage return
Thanks, Dixie. I couldn't even remember what the "thingy" was called. LOL Talk about rhythm...click, click, click, fling the thingy, click, click, click...never missing a beat. And you're right, that purple stuff would gag a magot! How the HECK did we do it. This has been a fun thread. One can only wonder what stories the younger generation will have to tell when they're the "seniors." One thing I can't figure....I used to work 6 days a week, carried cloth diapers to the washateria, didn't have a dishwasher, no a/c, etc. etc and STILL seems like I had more hours in my 24 hour day than I have now. What gives?
I think you have a return programmed
after the last word in shorthand. Always make sure your cursor is at the end of the last character in your expanded term and it will not do that.
I did MT before becoming a nurse, return afterwards. sm
Hated nursing. It wasn't all that I thought it would be. I found I could make more being an MT and with a heckuva lot less stress and backbreaking labor.
Return receipt sm
Years ago (many) I would have put the address, either block form to the left or tab to the middle for semi-block form and under the SUBJECT: or RE: line, I would have put Certified Mail No. 112233 or Registered mail # 112233 and then "return receipt requested" on that same line or underneath. If there is no subject, put it before the salutation. Today, I probably would put it under the initials at the bottom of the letter, in block form, just because I would like the appearance of it better, i.e.,
Sincerely yours,
(4 spaces)
Melissa M. Anonymous
MAM (or the dictator's initials and then yours)
Sent via certified mail #112233 - 3/9/06, return receipt requested.
I don't think it really matters. If you don't have a # yet, just put "Sent via certfied mail 3/9/06, return receipt requested." Don't take my word for it though, unless you don't find any samples, this is just my 2 cents.

RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Dear so and so
body of letter
-
Buy a 2-way & don't use the return-it's cheaper
NM
When I return my work to the doc - sm
I send them a list of which reports had a blank, what the blank was (i.e. Dr. name I could not locate or a drug name usually); and also a list of what patients on the list did not have dictations. That is it. The ball is in their court then.
Look at last year tax return
If you worked last year look at your tax return and see how much taxes you had to pay based on what you made. Compare wages to this year and if they are about the same you will know how much to withhold or put aside. If your husband works, have him over withold an extra amount or if you work as an employee at another job have them overwithold. Be sure to take off your deductions to get your NET income and not your gross. Good luck.
If you end up not using the adapter, return it to

They held my return
They held my return as the name on the W2 did not match my SS#. Had to change it. Also with all of the problems with illegals it might even be tighter now. Good luck, why don't you just change it???
I did the tax return myself and was more concerned (sm)
about who and how many people dealt with my return at the IRS department.
I figured it out... nm
s
You are SO RIGHT!! Figured that
out awhile ago. Garbage in, garbage out! I make 7 cpl and don't have all day...
figured it out
geez -- I had to go to the second option but was in a PANIC -- thanks for your help didnt see the little backwards P symbol but did go into tools and figured it out 
The way I figured it out (sm)
One of the MTSOs I worked for wanted perfect everything. Then we were to look up all names since we were never given spelling and this took an extremely long time. Then the MTSO threatened to not pay us if we didn't look up the names.
Simply put, I decided it wasn't worth my time and quit.
That's what I figured. Thanks! (nm)
(nm)
I figured it out. *nm*

i figured as much
I've just been switched to another account to help out another transcription service - which was an account that I understood to be solely an account of the company I work for now - so they are either losing it or they never had the entire account to begin with. this MTing after 15 years is driving me crazy - i think it may be time to move on.
I figured it out!!! sm
For some reason unknown to me, my husband was messing around on my computer last night and turned ON the User Account Control. I have told him many, many, many times that this feature needs to be OFF in order for me to do my job. He always listens so well! I will be placing a lock on the door to this room and he will not be allowed in here anymore.
I figured it out. Thanks anyway!
I figured that one out before
I read your post. Dah!!! Oh well, we are all entitled to a brain holiday, right?
I figured it out...
The NCH website has converter software that I downloaded. Works great. thanks to all who helped.
I figured it was the same because I am
able to read between the lines and saw on the Main and the Company posting the same time. People are running scared from VR and thus the question above which I consider legit.
Did I understand you correctly?
I already work on DQS, but do you mean that the new payment plan will not include headers, spaces, and so on?
HELP!!!
If I read you correctly
Yes, that JW (Pacific time zone)
Actually he may be pronouncing it correctly.
had the term "pis" which is French for urinate. It is pronounced "pee."
They dropped it from the newer ones, however.
If I remember correctly sm
these are long, long reports. Absolutely charge by the line.
not OP but mac did ya read that correctly?.LOL
It was a MS and not a Mr *LOL*
 have some lemonade on this very hot 95+ degree sweltering humid day....probably causing the negativity, eh? 
If I understand it correctly what they do it take - sm
an average of 12 months (previous year I guess) and charge you that each month. So if you spend $1500 a year, they then will charge you $125 a month for a year for a total of $1500. I presume if you are over that they bill you at the end of the year for the overage, and hopefully credit you if you are actually under. Our propane company wanted to do the same, but I just go with getting billed when they fill the tank, though that gets pretty nasty too ($300-$800) depending on price of propane and how full/empty the tank is when it is filled, plus they only give 7 days to pay the bill, how nice.
Do I read this correctly????
your HUSBAND was CRYING AND FREAKING OUT because he had not eaten???????? Please say it isn't so!!!!! I hope you mean your 1 y/o or 4 y/o NOT your husband.
Why not spell it correctly?
I learned a long time ago that doctors are notoriously bad spellers! What is the word?
I would spell it correctly. sm
That is why we are transcriptionists. It is our job to correct their spelling and grammar errors to make as perfect a document as possible. I have one that notoriously spells Homan's sign incorrectly and she spells it every time as Homman's sign, but I disregard her spelling, do not take it personal, and I just do what I know is right. JMO
I would spell it correctly.
It's actually Homans'. ;P
I have a doctor like this too. He insists on spelling one word incorrectly and even had his office staff try to correct me. I am a very flexible person but there is no way I will spell something incorrectly in a document if I know better.
you heard correctly ............
Not sure if I'm following your trail correctly here.
I would agree that it is not defamatory to use the company name if someone is not going to come away with a negative impression, direct or indirect, after viewing pictures or other materials that accompanied that use.
I would stand by the idea, however, that it would be libelous to use the company name on a site that depicts pictures or text that others may find offensive. I think we agree on this, right?
It is probably working correctly and at some
time you have added a misspelled word. Look at your notes and then look at your spellcheck file.
If I remember correctly...
you can go to the Nuance Web site for Dictaphone support (maybe this is old news?). They do have a phone number listed there. You might try the place where you purchased your equipment and/or tech support at your job. Also, you can search here at MTStars in the Google box. There probably are old posts with similar questions.
also, if you are doing it correctly - point that out to QA - nm
x
If I remember correctly, though
laws may have changed since I last collected, they take your last 4 quarters, find the highest quarter and you get half of that in UC divided into weeks. They also take taxes out of it, which I don't think is fair.
I may not be understanding correctly but
If you want to go backwards with the jump code I think that is shift+F11. I never have been able to get that to work correctly, but I can hit F11 and go forward in the document just fine.
oh I love it...return the 2cents
and i guarantee you it will just botch the heck out of their accounting, they won't know where to post it, probably send it back to you, you back to them and on and on and probably cost them close to 100 bucks in postage, reissuance, payroll for the geeks in accounting, all to try to resolve it.
