If someone buys dollars with Euros and then, after the dollar raised, Euros again, you end up with more Euros. However, who has lost money? Other financial actors who kept dollars? The other Euro holders? Both? It's clear that you ended up with more. Where this more came from? Quest09 ( talk) 11:42, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
The currency trader has lost, that is, the bank you are exchanging money with. As with a gambling bookie, it is possible for them to lose money in the short run, but the fees they charge mean that they reliably make money in the long run. Looie496 ( talk) 16:23, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
A few months ago, in America, a man awoke to find his girlfriends hands 'inside' him. He was clearly not amused, but what motivation dod the woman have for penetrating his body?-- 92.25.111.142 ( talk) 12:15, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
I am not asking for tax advice, so please don't flame.
Form 1040NR-EZ (for tax purposes) states: "Exceptions. You do not need to file Form 1040NR-EZ (or Form 1040NR) if: 1. Your only U.S. trade or business was the performance of personal services;" What exactly is a personal service? Is it a job where you're not working for an organization, but directly for a client (similar to a consultant role)? Or is it a job where you work directly with a client, in a personal capacity, like a librarian or something? 209.188.18.179 ( talk) 15:07, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
The first part of the instructions [ [1]] says this form is for nonresident aliens. It must be filed even if you have no US income. You do not need to file if “your trade or business was the performance of personal services; and your wages were less that $3,650; and you have no other need to file . . . ; or you were a student, teacher or trainee only temporarily in the US on an F, J, M or Q visa.”
On the other hand, you reduce your risk of harassment, fines and possibly jail if you do fill it in (correctly). DOR (HK) ( talk) 07:56, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
