Surprise! Economic Numbers Are 'Worse Than Expected'
American Thinker ^ | August 16, 2010 | Claude Sandroff

The current government employment report is just the most recent example of bad news for the economy expressed in depressing unemployment figures that the wizards in the Washington constantly find either "surprising" or "unexpected."

Thanks for the tips.

Alas, there is too much noise from other headlines.

When time permits, I’ll see if I can find the info in some other way.

I’m not an accountant, but mine told me, in words I can understand, that a loss carryback allows me to retroactively apply net operating losses to reduce my company’s taxes in a previous year.

Try searching Questia as well. You can narrow the search to newspapers only, then search within results to drill down to “unexpected” references tied to “economy”, “recovery” or whatever.

What’s a carry-back on my previous taxes?

My accountant just offered to do this for me. I am a Realtor and have lost money in my business for the last two years, so I can average my income out from past years, not sure exactly how may years they can go back maybe three-five and move some of the high tax paying years forward and claim a refund. Received a $4700 refund check. Not a welfare check but a refund from the very high taxes I paid in '05 and '06.
