Does your post office give you an acceptance scan and a receipt for electronic delivery confirmation? The post office web site says " retail and electronic delivery confirmation are both entitiled to the same infomation". But some post offices refuse to give you an acceptance scan or a receipt for labels printed online even when you've included insurance in your mailing label. How can you collect on a claim for lost mail if the post office will not give you a receipt? You have no proof that you ever took the mail to the post office. When you took it or what post office you took it to. Is it right for the post office to refuse to give you receipt because you printed your postage online?

How can I keep my office uncluttered with limited storage space? I am a manager of a school office.

Deducting mileage - do I have to take the home office deduction to qualify? I work for a small business. I do all of my work (except client site visits) from my home office. However, since I also use my home office for personal use during non-working hours, I assume I cannot take the home office deduction (correct)? Here is my question regarding mileage - I'm testing this using both TaxCut and TurboTax. In both cases, when I enter my mileage, it does not seem to reduce my tax owed. When I tell the program I want to use the home office deduction, then my mileage makes a difference. If I tell it not to do the home office deduction, then my entering mileage makes no difference. So, can I only deduct my mileage if I take the home office deduction? I haven't read anything to indicate this, but the actions of the tax software programs leads me to believe that this is the case. I don't know if this matters, but I itemize my deductions (mostly due to mortgage interest & real estate taxes paid). I do not take the standard deduction. Edit - I am a W2 employee. This is less than 2% of our joint AGI, so I guess that's why it isn't letting me take it. Thanks for the replies!

What is the difference between an office visit and an outpatient visit?

How can I get a coworker to stop walking through my office? We have 3 offices that pass through from one to the next. Each office has a door to the hallway. Yet my coworker insists on always walking through my office to get to the hall. Then when she comes back into the office she just about gets whiplash turning to look at my monitor. She's been here forever and she trained me but she's not a supervisor. It's annoying even when I'm actually working and not just messing around online. I don't want to get confrontational as we have a good working relationship. Also, she's not technically doing anything wrong so I can't really complain to the boss. But dang, it's really annoying to have someone literally looking over your shoulder every 5 minutes. I've tried blocking the path through my office with chairs and boxes but she'd rather squeeze through my little traps to get the shortcut rather than endure the hall. Plus, if she trips over any of my traps then I'll have to go take a pee test and that would be a bad thing. What to do? Some funny answers so far. First, I'd have to take a pee test because my sloppiness (leaving boxes in the way) caused the accident. Second, there is NO romantic stuff going on. I like my women to be not grandmothers and I prefer the gf I already have. But good idea otherwise :)

Is Office 2007 really that different from previous versions? I bought a book on Office 2007 to swot up before starting a new job. I don't know which version of Office they use though.

If you are familiar with it - should I check which version they have where I'm going to work and change the book if it's a pre- 07 version?
