I can't use the mypay site. I called DFAS this morning. Yes, I actually
spoke with a real person! Didn't take long at all. Problem is, as you
surmised, he's dead. So even though he never used (or probably even knew
about) mypay, there's no way to access his information on the mypay site. I
did request a copy but got the usual "7-14 business days" spiel which
doesn't help a bit since taxes are due a week from tomorrow. So I had to
call the tax person and tell her she'll just have to file for an extension.

You dun good Jill. The military is slow to giveth and quick to taketh away.
They probably had your dad's information locked down before they got the
death notice. Good luck on the extension. I'm sure you remember that any
taxes must be paid by the tax date. Extensions don't apply to payments
owed. I'm fortunate, we never owed anything when we were late filing. Hugs
and sympathy for you and your mom. Are you and Persia going to re-join her
at the island after you get back to Memphis?

I don't know a thing about extensions. Don't we have to have the form to
figure out taxes owed? My folks have been paying estimated quarterly taxes
for for years, but they get forms for that. I told her tax preparer
yesterday we won't get this 1099R until after the 15th. She said she'd let
me know what she's going to do.

I'll drive back with Persia. I'd like to be home for a few weeks, maybe a
month. Gotta figure out if there's anything cooler for me to wear around
here than shorts & tank tops... I may have to become a nudist LOL (Somehow
I don't think the island association would approve.)

I find that light flowing style dresses (dare I say the dreaded muu muu?)
work better than tight clothing. If I could get away with it, I'd wear thin
nightgowns all day long. We keep fans in most of our rooms because I tend
to over heat and I also wear t shirts, light cotton or linen shirts and
shorts, and I drink a lot of water and ice tea.

LOL I don't own any muumuu's but I do have a caftan :) I actually prefer
sundresses over shorts so I'll have to go through my closet.

Can you tell I ain't from around here? The heat gets to me. The humidity
really gets to me. I'm used to being from extreme land in Eastern
Washington State. I also prefer sun dresses, but the state my anatomy is
in, people would run screaming into the streets if I were to run around in
them. Hence the natural fiber pants and shorts. I can cover and disguise
more with them and I don't have to worry about my extreme lack of a waist or
the fact that my boobs talk to my knees on a regular basis. Scary, aren't
I?

There shouldn't be any problem. Sounds like the same preparer has been
doing their returns so would know almost exactly what is on the missing
1099R. Just a matter of filling the form with anything that might still be
due, as well as figuring out the first estimate for 2008.
