a.	I was unemployed at the beginning of the year and got $5,000 in unemployment compensation. I later got a job as a manager for Roca Cola. I earned $61,500 in base salary this year. My boss gave me a $2,500 Christmas bonus check on December 22. I decided to hold on to that check and not cash it until next year, so I wont have to pay taxes on it this year. Pretty smart, huh? My jobs pretty cool. I get a lot of fringe benefits like a membership to the gym that costs $1,800 a year and all the Roca Cola I can drink, although I cant really drink a whole lotI figure $40 worth this year.
