Pharmacy Boards and Income Tax

A couple of points to make in this posting. Firstly I want to give a list of some of the pharmacy boards since I happened to have found a whole list of them and I might as well add it as a resource for you in case of need, so here it is: STATE BOARD OF PHARMACY WEBSITE California http://www.pharmacy.ca.gov/ Connecticut http://www.ct.gov/dcp/cwp/view.asp?a=1620&Q=273844&PM=1 Delaware http://www.dpr.delaware.gov/boards/pharmacy/index.shtml Iowa http://www.state.ia.us/ibpe/ Idaho http://bop.accessidaho.org/ Illinois http://www.idfpr.com/DPR/default.asp Indiana http://www.in.gov/pla/pharmacy.htm Kentucky http://pharmacy.ky.gov/ Massachusetts http://www.mass.gov/?pageID=eohhs2subtopic&L=5&L0=Home&L1=Provider&L2=Certification%2c+Licensure%2c+and+Registration&L3=Occupational+and+Professional&L4=Pharmacy&sid=Eeohhs2 Maryland http://www.mdbop.org/ Maine http://www.maine.gov/pfr/professionallicensing/professions/pharmacy/index.htm Minnesota http://www.phcybrd.state.mn.us/mn_home.htm Missouri http://www.pr.mo.gov/pharmacists.asp Montana http://mt.gov/dli/bsd/license/bsd_boards/pha_board/board_page.asp New Hampshire http://www.nh.gov/pharmacy/ New Jersey http://www.state.nj.us/lps/ca/medical/pharmacy.htm Nevada http://bop.nv.gov/ Ohio http://pharmacy.ohio.gov/ Oregon http://www.oregon.gov/Pharmacy/index.shtml Pennsylvania http://www.dos.state.pa.us/bpoa/cwp/view.asp? Rhode Island http://www.health.ri.gov/hsr/professions/pharmacy.php Utah http://www.dopl.utah.gov/ Vermont http://vtprofessionals.org/opr1/pharmacists/ Virginia http://www.dhp.state.va.us/pharmacy/default.htm Washington https://fortress.wa.gov/doh/hpqa1/hps4/Pharmacy/default.htm Wisconsin http://drl.wi.gov/boards/phm/index.htm Wyoming http://pharmacyboard.state.wy.us/ And the second point I want to talk about is my current understanding of US taxation! After January the TV adverts become filled with two companies that offer to help you with your taxes - one is from www.hrblock.com and the other is from www.turbotax.com - now both of these have good points and bad points, some of which may be more pertinent to your individual needs, but they seem to be the two BIG companies, although of course you can use anyone, and there are plenty of small local accountants that will help you for a fairly small fee too. However, I want to add my personal opinion because there are a couple of issues that might be of interest to others. Firstly the company I work for has some kind of direct downloadable link to Turbotax, so that my yearly earnings can be collected directly - but I can't do this with HRBlock. Secondly, again as far as i currently understand it, the form that I need to use this year - called a 1040NREZ isn't available through Turbotax, but is available with HRBlock! Apparently this form is necessary for the first five years (barring exceptions) for foreign nationals, so I am therefore obligated to get this form, and therefore obligated to use (if I want to) HRBlock to help do my tax return. I am still investigating this, so I may add more later if I have any new information, but this is the way I see it currently. Finally, although it may be obvious to me, I should add that the tax year runs January 1st through December 31st, and that the tax return needs to be filed before March 31st (as far as I know). Good luck to you all, and as always please contact me if you know any differently to what I have stated above. Farmacyst
