What is this that’s called the income tax return? Each spring we file federal and state income tax returns. We all know about filing our taxes, paying them, and getting our tax refund, but somehow the term “tax return” is not always clearly understood.

The situation begins in January through March of every year when wage earners receive their wage and tax withholding statement from their employers. Students will receive statements of tuition, scholarship, and aid information covering the previous calendar year. An income tax return form is then used to take the amount earned and calculate the correct dollar amount of taxes for which the individual is liable.

Although a person filing the forms detailing earnings, deductible expenses, and taxes may have some or all of their withheld taxes returned to them, that is not what is meant by the term “income tax return”. Actually, what “tax return” refers to is threefold. First, you are letting the government know, or are returning a report on, how much you made in the previous year. Next you are stating how much you have paid in taxes, up till the end of the year. And then, your return lists the tax hit that you must pay. 

So in going through this tax return process many people show that they have overpaid their income tax and therefore have a refund coming. The alternative is of course, that there was not enough money withheld, or that the quarterly payments fell short of estimates and now you owe the government the difference.

Summarizing, the phrase “income tax return” is referring to the document that you fill out and send to the IRS and to your state tax department.

I was recently approached by my local Dentist, who was interested in bringing his surgery out of the dark ages and establishing an online presence, primarily, to attract new patients to his surgery, as well as providing more in depth treatment information to his existing patients.

Now many local Gloucester Dentist Surgeries are far from over equipped with computer equipment, my dentist does not even have a computer at all, they do all their administration on pen and paper, accounts, the lot, on paper!

Even the appointment system is a manual log book system, where the patients are sent a 2nd class post card several months before their next appointment is due.

I discussed with my Dentist the need to have at least one computer connected to the internet in the surgery reception area, as this would be needed to check for emails and contact form results from the new website and potential new clients. Training would be needed for the reception staff, who all said they were a bit long in the tooth for learning how to use a computer. I was starting to think my work was going to be cut out here.

Strangely enough, the term ‘a bit long in the tooth’ is a dentist related saying, it was born from the process of receding gums, which is normally age related. The older one gets, the more receding gum line process takes place, making teeth appear longer. Although my dentist was keen to point out, regular visits to the dentist will slow right down the speed at which receding gum disease will take place, as patients can be educated with the correct oral hygiene practises to prevent the receding gum line .

Anyway, I have left my dentist with several options for his web presence, I will have to wait and see what he decides, in the meantime, I think I will go and brush my teeth, so I don’t grow long in the tooth, for the time being!

I enjoyed building this one.
