Question: I have a small shop and I do my own bookkeeping.

When must I give my employees a copy of the W-2? Answer: A form W-2 showing earnings and tax information for the calendar year must be given to each employee by Jan. 31 of the following year. Question: What happens if a person earns more than the annual exempt amount?

(However, special rules apply in the first year of retirement.) Some other points to consider: Social Security benefits keep pace with inflation, going up each year as the cost of living rises. Social Security benefits are tax-free.

Question: I just found a doctor's bill from last year. Can I still send It to Medicare? Answer: Yes. You always have at least 15 months from the date of the doctor's services to file a Medicare claim. Depending on when the services were performed, you can have as much as 27 months to submit your claim, but it is wise not to wait that long. For example, doctor's services provided in October 1984 could be submitted to Medicare as late as December 1986.

Question: Suppose an employee leaves during the year. When is the W-2 given? Answer: The form W-2 may be given to an employee any time after his or her employment ends.

Somehow it always amazed me that with $200 worth of toys, 35 friends within a radius of a mile, a dog, a TV set, and a creative mind that nearly got him expelled from school for playing Keepaway with Miss Farnsworth (who was airborne for 20 minutes) you will hear, "There's nothing fun to do." I've never been sure what exactly "something fun to do" is, but I know where to find it. "Something fun to do" is always a car ride away.

You can't walk to it or ride your bike or call it in. You have to get your mother on her feet and out to the car to drive you there. "Something fun to do" is always on the top shelf of a closet, in one of a hundred boxes marked "miscellaneous," or buried under a pile of lumber in the garage. It is never visible and involves getting a 16-foot ladder, calling your husband at work to move the storm windows or crawling on your hands and knees over the un-floored part of the attic. Good times never come cheap.

It's a concert where the cheaper seats have been sold out for two weeks, a movie with lines that snake into the next state, or a field trip to a ski resort with an overnight bus ride.

It usually takes up a lot of space in the middle of the floor and eventually you have to open a few windows to get the smell out. Whatever the project, it does not involve simple things around the home. If you're a mother who anticipates the day when your youngster will crave "something fun to do," prepare to have on hand 15 pounds of wax, 18 pipe cleaners, jelly beans, 150 yards of waxed dental floss, a dozen pine cones, 18 empty milk cartons, five pounds of cinnamon, an old lawn mower you're not using anymore, a blanket you can stain, string and matches always matches. I honestly can't describe your basic, one-size-fits-all "something fun to do," but I do know whatever it is it will include you as a parent. There's just something about seeing a mother sit down in a chair over a cup of coffee and watching the muscles in her face relax and maybe a hint of a smile come to her lips that drives a child to shout, "There's nothing fun to do around here!" um New Year's Mr.
