To the friendly student tax preparer:

Hi$,$ it's Shady Slim again. I just got back from my $55$th birthday party, and I$\text{'}$m told that you need some more information from me in order to complete my tax return. I$\text{'}$m an open book! I'll tell you whatever I think you need to know.

Let me tell you a few more things about my life. As you may recall, I am divorced from my wife, Alice. I know that it's unusual, but I have custody of my son, Shady Jr$.$ The judge owed me a few favors and I really love the kid. He lives with me full time and my ex$-$wife gets him every other weekend. I pay the vast majority of my son's expenses. I think Alice should have to pay some child support, but she doesn't have to pay a dime. The judge didn't owe me that much, I guess.

I had to move this year after getting my job at Roca Cola. We moved on February $3$ of this year, and I worked my job at Roca Cola for the rest of the year. I still live in the same state, but I moved $500$ miles away from my old house. I hired a moving company to move our stuff at a cost of $$2,360,$ and I drove Junior in my car. Junior and I got a hotel room along the way that cost us $$65($ love Super $8!).$

Can you believe l$\text{'}$m still paying off my student loans, even after $15$ years? I paid a total of $$930$ in interest on my old student loans this year.

Remember when I told you about that guy that hit me with his car? I had a bunch of medical expenses that were not
