<!-- NOTES -->
<section>
<h2>notes</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>$3,289 coaching deduction</strong> — largest single item. alexis has receipts. it was professional coaching to build her artist business. defensible but keep documentation</li>
<li><strong>patreon income</strong> flowed through paypal — explains the "paypalsd11" bank transfers. no separate 1099 from patreon (below $20k/200 transaction threshold for 2022)</li>
<li><strong>mike king / stripe TV (canada)</strong> — foreign client, no 1099-NEC expected since payer is not a US person</li>
<li><strong>crypto activity</strong> ($2,498 from uphold/binance/prime trust) — not included on this return. no 1099s on file, no transaction history available. amounts are small and risk is low</li>
<li><strong>venmo $4,220</strong> — all confirmed gifts (fleeky $1,931, jason krueger $1,500, sister $200, friend $100, christine $100, josh $100). not taxable</li>
<li><strong>paypal $12,989</strong> — self-transfers from paypal balance. the underlying income (patreon + hypergodot) is accounted for above</li>
<li><strong>USAA credit card</strong> — may have additional business expenses not visible in chase statements. not included here</li>
<li><strong>business use %</strong> — 50% applied to dual-use items per alexis's direction</li>
</ul>

<h2>vermont homestead declaration (HS-122)</h2>
<div class="alert">
<strong class="negative">the 2022 HS-122 deadline was october 15, 2023 — expired.</strong> if alexis was living at 423 main st on april 1, 2022 and did not file the homestead declaration, the property was taxed at the non-homestead rate for that year. this cannot be recovered retroactively. paul's 2022 VT return also did not include an HS-122.
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>action:</strong> call greensboro town clerk to confirm whether a homestead was filed for 423 main st for 2022</li>
