I never tell others what I would do in some hypothetical instance. I can't know the answer to that. Further, the likelihood of this event is so remote that I don't see the value in speculating. Finally, I'll suggest that there is at least a third option.
While I appreciate Colleen's passion, and I agree that a strict interpretation of Mary's age suggests inappropriate and unhealthy practices, it is important to judge the story of Mary and Joseph in context.
It is a religious story (a true story - for me). It is not intended as a recommendation for others. There is not evidence that Christians emulate the story of Mary and Joseph in marital practice. The person who attempts to justify such a marital relationship in their life with this story can find ways to justify abortion, divorce, and even murder with stories from the bible.
Colleen, I applaud your effort. Don't complicate your challenge by making good people, people who would otherwise support your effort, your enemy.
No. To report income under another person's SS# might be considered fraud. Your father is taking credit for your income toward his retirement. Your income could cause your father's income to incorrectly exceed the maximum taxable social security income. The IRS and Social Security Administration do not apply the No Harm No Foul principle. They see any false reporting as a crime.
There are forms to file on a quarterly basis. If you do not file them with an estimated tax payment, you'll be fined at the end of the year and charged interest. The fine and the interest are not heavy, so it is much less an issue for not filing at all than to file falsely.
At the very least, put 20% of your income in the bank and save it for tax time. If you earn less than $3000 in the year (I'm guessing on the dependant number it is $5000 if your father is not counting you as a dependent), you won't need to file taxes. Don't forget to figure in tips. If you record your tip income daily, you'll be able to use that as a basis for taxes. If you do not, the IRS will estimate your tip income and hold you accountable to their estimate.
No. I'd have to insure my arm.
That depends on how you define best and what kind of phone works with your provider. Keep in mind that without the ability to compare many phones, my opinion about best is of little value. Also, I might not evaluate the phones I compare for abilities you deem important. A better question might be, "Where can I find independent research on cell phone quality?" Again, this is assuming you are asking about cell phones, and not rotary land line phones.
Good luck,
Your Good Friend, Tommy
